Iko spitballs and doesn't acknowledge when he's wrong. he's been called out by bigger sources many times. + this all day lmaooo. that was false. no excuses.
This is the stuff dreams are made of 1. Harden 2. CP3 3. Capela 4. Tucker 5. MELO 6. Bazemore or T. Johnson or OTTO 7. Gordon 8. Ennis 9. Melton 10. Hartenstein 11. Green 12. Nene 13. ZHOU 14. MCW Clark, Edwards, Onuaku could go for that last spot if they don’t sign another vet at the minimum.
The point is so golden state won't have a mismatch they can target and ISO because the rockets switch everything on defense. Ennis, Tucker, and Johnson can all guard multiple positions.
To be fair, the Suns MAY have been targeting Capela until they won the draft lottery and had Ayton / Bagley sitting there.
On the other we ISO Paul and harden and spread the floor with the rest. That's what worked last year. Last year against golden state we only played 7 players because they were the only players that could switch everything on defense. As soon as we tried to to put in another player like Anderson he got targeted and abused on ISO.
How many times are the rockets gonna go 0/27? Pj and ennis are solid shooters. Having Chris Paul healthy as a 2nd option worked well enough games 1-5 against golden state.
Ch is a good insider. There is actually a chance he is a Morey burner account. Everyone knows Morey is in here. He is. He could easily feed Ch info and Morey would get a good idea on who it was. Just something to note.
Solid shooters ain’t enough Any line up consisting of Harden/Paul/Tucker/Johnson should feature either Gordon or Melo depending on who’s got it going. Cannot have 3 non offensive threats on the court during a crucial game. Golden State will gladly let those guys beat them.
