Agreed, it's infamously hard to crack D'antoni's rotations but he has shown out in his system. He's def going to get overpaid somewhere once his contract with Houston is done.
His achilles heal with Sacramento was his shooting, which is why a lot of people think he was a failed pick. All he really needed was the right system where he's not the focal point of the offense. Some dudes are really role players at heart even if they were stars growing up, while its the opposite for others. Oladipo as it turned out for example was not meant to be a role player like in OKC, so he's thriving as a star in Indiana.
Ur not watching more games nowadays then and stats say greatly otherwise to ur shocking views either way it happens when u dont like rockets u try to make it look foolish check out clippers last game it's more like what ur saying
Harden is moving better and looks much faster especially in the fast break. The whole team is playing at a fast pace. Once Russ gets his rhythm back and everyone gets in shape it will be hard for teams to keep up
The rockets are gonna lose in the first round for sure. They can’t defend or break down teams in the half court. They gonna run themselves ragged with old Russ and old james
Stanlen Faucher their Defense is better? They don’t have a player over 6”6 who is worth a lick on Defense. Imagine they played the raptors in the finals lmao it would be a slaughter
@@demarcdegasol No, First of all, The Rockets were 2-0 vs Raptors that year. The Raptors could not handle the Rockets run and gun offense because they didn't have a lot of players, other than Lowry and VanVleet, who can run that fast on defense. The Rockets offense is WAY different than the Warriors, the Rockets have not been to 5 straight finals like Golden State. The Rocket offense would have been way harder for Nick Nurse to figure out because he would have easily focused his defense on Harden, leaving a bunch of shooting wide opening, forcing them to play zone, which doesn't work neither. Plus, Harden is the best post up defender in the league and you can't say otherwise. By the way, PJ Tucker is 6'6", Danuel House Jr is 6'7", Luc Mbah a Moute is 6'8", Jeff Green is 6'8" and Robert Covington is 6'7". The Rockets are full of defense guards, wing players and forwards who are more than capable of interupting a team's offense, getting rebounds and running to other end and knock down a three or score a quick layup, not to mention they lead by two of the greatest guards, Harden and Westbrook, the NBA has ever seen, and while you don't think so because you are so focused on "WHAT they are" instead "WHO they are". I think that is good enough to make the conference finals.
Stanlen Faucher you have completely misread this team if you think that they have a chance at making it to the western finals. They have 0 chance. The playoffs is all about half court sets and hard defence, something the rockets are terrible at. Harden is obviously not the best post up defender in the league- what an asinine claim- he might be a good post up defender for the small sample size of maybe less than 0.5% of total plays that he defends this way, but to say he is a better post up defender than someone who actually regularly defends post ups is silly. He’s also usually guarding smaller guards. And off the ball and on the perimeter he is terrible. The raptors have Serge Ibaka, siakam, gasol, Boucher, Anunoby- All 5 of those guys are bigger and better defenders than any player on the rockets. Dantonis schemes only work in the regular season, as shown by his teams track records.
Good teams find a way to win. All they need is to perfect that weak side help on the post ups and the Rockets are a big problem in the playoffs. House, Bob Cov and PJ seem to be working well together on defense. Lots of deflections and congested passing lanes. A couple more adjustments and 🚀
That's probably because they're the local Memphis feed. Announcers for local teams are biased toward their respective teams because their demographic are fans of the team. I'm from Chicago so EVERY Bulls game I watch MUST be commentated by Stacey King and whoever his partner is for the day or else I'll be disappointed, even if I like the announcers of the other team.
Man, does anyone have a warm feeling watching Ja just go off like this. He technically would be in his second year by now but he’s really coming into his own and not backing down this Grizzlies team is gonna be special with him at the helm. Bless up Ja🤙🏼
James Harden is actually an underated defender he has more steals and blocks than bron and jokic and also he almost has as much bpg as giannis. Not to mention he's the best offensive player in the NBA wow might as well call him the goat right now. Like if you agree
It's crazy how Westbrook, harden and Jeff green started on the thunder together and now they're on the same team again after being apart in their careers. Talking bout coming full circle
On some real shit, I don't think people gave him much credit for how he performed in last year's playoffs against the Warriors in that game 6. People say that Harden was being too passive in the 4th quarter, but I saw him making great plays and getting his teammates good looks. They just couldn't overcome one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, teams ever assembled. It was a MUCH better game than that fateful game 7 from the year prior when the Rockets were just BRICKING everything! I think Harden is getting better at slowing down, controlling the pace, and trying to OVER rely on foul calls.
Russ was diagnosed at the beginning of July and he quarantined for 2 weeks at home and took the test again and it was negative. He arrived in Orlando last week and had to take the COVID test several more times before he could be cleared to join his team

They have brooks

Eric Gordon such a solid player, would be great if he came back to the clippers
Westbrook vs Ja? LMAO, they literally have the same game
Nah Westbrook is a better rebounder and Ja is a better shooter. Ja also isn't as aggressive chasing his own shot
Betley Island36 still pretty much the same player
Shayan Farooqui agreed people think morant could become the next superstar or something smh
@Sway what are you talking about playmaking d Rose drose was a better passer🤦♂️
Ja bounces when he moves and is faster and quicker and has a better shot
Also the rockets are getting smart they are playing thier bench more so they will have a lead in bench players skill over the others
Lol it's a scrimmage, literally every team is playing there bench more.
Na duh 🤦🏽♂️
I saw another comment just like this on another video about the Lakers lmao. It's a scrimmage of course they're doing that.
Harden the mvp. Representing the prolific scoring. Jordan Iverson stuff. No resting bringing it every night. Let the real keep holding it down.
Harden looks like the mad doctor on the expandables. Wesley Snipes. Killer men.
Harden's step back is like Kareem's skyhook. Can't guard him
Can't expect players to be able to defend against a move that breaks game rules.
