If the Rockets just run the offense Yao will get a bunch of touches simply because everybody will get a bunch of touches. I found more than one...
How about running the damned offense? It's past the halfway point of the season and the Rockets still haven't gotten it running smoothly. If...
Last night was "bad" because the Rockets took another step back on offense. They're running in circles now trying to get the motion offense up...
And how many minutes does Rafer play if he's sucking it up and Brooks is available? How many minutes does Hayes player period? Battier's job is...
No effort on defense and the team defense breaks down. It's the exact same issue with the motion offense--you can't have just four guys playing...
Good shots don't make up for bad shots. Yes, T-Mac went to the basket for a bunch of his shots. He also made extremely poor decisions down the...
If T-Mac was omnipotent he might actually be able to defend somebody. It shouldn't surprise anybody that T-Mac is lousy on defense--good D is...
Maybe the MAIN problem offensively was Artest, but there should be zero doubt that the way Tracy plugs into the offense remains A problem, a big...
The Rockets never abandoned their defensive philosophy of defending the paint. And RA doesn't "refuse" to play Deke. The issue with Deke is that...
Yeah, but the average over all those games is clearly lower without T-Mac than with him, regardless of variation over a single game.
Defense was the primary factor in the loss, but where and how McGrady fits into the offense is still a huge issue. Put simply, he doesn't. You...
Amend my original post to "How do you explain their crappy defense in the last game?" Also I'm guessing that in terms of total minutes played...
I don't doubt that there's probably more than one significant factor, but in terms of lineup the starting five are the same starting five from...
Injuries are a definite factor but at the same time I think it's undeniable that the core group isn't meshing, i.e. they have lousy chemistry....
Wafer's got a lot to learn defensively, but I would argue that some of the games he played in featured better team defense than in last night's...
Adelman's Kings were excellent defensive teams, so I don't buy the argument that Adelman is emphasizing offense at the expense of defense. That's...
I really have to question how critical the lineup is. By and large it's the same group of guys that played together last year.
Start Hayes and everyone would be complaining about the terrible offense right now. It's a trade off no matter what. Last season the Rockets...
The Rockets' players are grown men, not little boys. They proved last year that they could play defense. Same roster, same coach, same...
This should be obvious. There was no drop in defensive intensity last year, Adelman's first as head coach. You've got the same roster, the same...
