I know we have to move on but this is part of the healing process. I'm more confused than anything. Never would have thought we'd lose the game Chris Paul actually played well in. Harden chokes in big moments. MDA sucks at making adjustments. Capela gets punked too often. Gordon is too damn streaky. Morey made some key errors that have totally f*cked this franchise. It's gonna be a long offseason.
Harden played up to his absurd season averages. Chris Paul was only “Chris Paul” in 1 of 6 games and had his worst playoff game ever in game 5. But I’ll say 50/50 on D’Antoni and Capela. Capela for being absolute garbage and D’Antoni for continuing to play Capela when he was absolute garbage.
When there is enough blame to go around, everyone becomes blameless and that is why we assign a goat to take the fall.
I don't know. My uneducated analysis is...I think the scheme of the Rockets is flawed. It works well in the regular season but it's now proven it can't beat the Warriors in a 7 game series. Rockets need to play better defense. They simply cannot out shoot the Warriors. We need to be physical on defense. We need more enforcers like Draymond is for the Warriors. If we got more defensive stops, we easily extend the lead to 15-20 points and take Warriors out of the game early. Also, the shot selection was poor. I saw too many contested 3 point shot attempts which resulted in fast break points for the Warriors. I don't know how the Rockets fix that over the off-season.
Yes, I blame the Warriors. They seem to be extra clutch. Sometimes it's not what we are doing wrong, it's what the other team is doing right.
Starting to think we made a big mistake signing Capela to that contract. Should of let him walk if that’s what it would of come too. I think he’s gone
I can't vote here cause i would need multiple options tbh, refs for game 1, Mike for at least a couple of games, same for Chris, James last night, Capela for the series...i don't think it's right to point fingers to a single person here.
