I've not been following every game of the Rockets this season, however I've seen that play at least 3 times already. And they look IDENTICAL. Do you guys know what I'm talking about? Would be great if someone could post of full list of that, and add to it as the season goes along. I suspect it'll be a looooong list by the end of the season.

yeah i saw that, amazing how he threads that needle. looks so dangerous

Aren't we 3-0 when that play is run? Hmmm....

wait wait wait....

we run plays?

i thought we just let harden iso and occasionally run pick and roll?....

Once maybe twice a game we'll run the baseline cut... Besides that, you're right.

i want to see Harden come off screens with Lin getting him the ball!

And 0-4 when it's not.

back door usually don't work against good defensive team

It's not a coincidence that Harden starts to iso more and Lin's usage starts to decrease after those 3 day practices and the offensive coach Sampson saying that "offense is not demoractic" and wanting to put in more plays for Harden. But then the only play they put in seems to be the Harden isolation which not only does not help Harden but hurt him. Just let Harden and Lin free flowing like the 1st 2 games and stop to micromanage every play, McHale!

^^ 1st two games was a lot of Harden ISO he just didnt miss anything.

i think it has a lot to do with team don't have our scouting report with harden
now they do and know we ran the same play over and over
it's easier to defend

Little easier to run those plays against crappy teams.

Backdoor plays only work when you caught a defender offguard.....
