Completely agree. Covington only got exposed as an on-ball defender in the playoffs because of the Rockets scheme. You can’t expect long, rangy...
This is a realistic trade for Gordon and would improve the Rockets. Horford is a bad fit playing next to Embiid in Philadelphia, but he can be...
I completely agree. The Rockets should use switching as their primary defense, but go with other defenses when necessary. The Rockets had the...
You are absolutely right that Westbrook has a lot to work on, and I’d settle for him improving in those areas, too. My perspective is this: Until...
The Lakers hot shooting is primarily because the Rockets are struggling to contain dribble penetration. Same thing happened against OKC.
The Rockets need to get more athletic and find a legitimate stretch five that isn’t a sieve on defense. They need guys that can drive to the...
If the Lakers continue flying around on defense like this, I’m not sure anyone will beat them.
They aren’t calling fouls on drives. Westbrook needs to adjust (I’m aware he won’t)
Really, Covington? Close out under control.
Stop leaving Morris open.
Good start.
The first five minutes of the third quarter are critical, and McLemore is on tonight. I worry if you wait until it’s time to sub, it will be too...
My comment was specifically about Jeff Green’s poor defense, which is why he doesn’t start for the Rockets. I’m well aware Green is a better...

That is why Jeff Green doesn’t start. Lazy defense on a James’ drive.
Just box out, Covington.
Rivers passed up a wide-open three.
Refs straight up cheating now. Tucker’s foot wasn’t anywhere close to the line.
How is that a block on Tucker?
