3/15 - [GAME 66] Rockets v. Timberwolves 8:00 EST

Those of you complaining about Iso ball. If you have a play that can generate a better shot than Harden iso or Harden PnR, i'm all ears.

There are plenty of plays that are better than a Harden iso (where he stands and dribbles the ball until there are 5 seconds left, makes a move, then steps back for a brick):

Drive and kick out to Parsons for an open 3.
Screen for Harden to get the mismatch, he drives for layup or free throws.
Lin penetration, draw double team, find the big man for point blank finish. Or find Harden, who can exploit the defense since they're out of position.

I'm not against an occasional Harden iso, but it's not a high percentage go-to play in crunch time, especially if you do it every time. You have to mix it up.

were lucky Harden did play or this team would have been blown out of there...

I dont like the fact he is playing hurt though....


I read somewhere he has a higher spot up shooting %

but I bet when he drives to the basket, he makes it up by getting to the foul line...

so im fine with Iso Harden within the flow of the game... in fact there was a few times I wanted him to take the ball in where he passed it off...
