What are we even watching? Does donovan have a clue?

[NBAcapper08]

Why does OKC not put their offensive guys out there and try to outscore the rockets? this game goes on donovan he is selling westbrook out. he literally cannot pass to any of these guys on the court

 

[Greenbacks]

1 guy can`t beat 5...lol

 

[Enfuego]

You just said OKC should try to outscore the Rockets. Good lord.

 

[NBAcapper08]

okc couldn't be stopped. he subs out westbrook for whatever reason. they blow the lead. they put him back in with all defensive players expecting something good to happen.

 

[PatsFan1283]

Who do you think he should put in? If they bring in McDermott or Kanter then Harden is going to put those guys in PnR every single time.

Everything sounds good until you try it. And you can't play those 2 guys together against a team like the Rockets.

Dipo been a disappointment for OKC, he was the guy that needed to stepup and be that #2 scorer in this series. Also, like I said in the other thread, they should've got Lou Williams. That was a big X-factor tonight.

1 team has a guy to create offense when their star leaves the floor, the other doesn't.

have you watched any of the games this season or? pretty sure this makes the 0-6. these lineups obvioously don't work

Russ really did have an incred

im certinaly not claiming playing kanter or mcdermott more would result in a win. but its clear that this group doesn't have a chance in hell to even keep up with the rockets

 

[PatsFan1283]

He played an incredible game too. Seemed worn down at the end, you take 41 shots your efficiency is gonna suffer

Just sucks when guys can't step up

LeBron's found that out the hard way more than a few times his 1st stint in Cle

 

[NBAcapper08]

grant stealing the ball and not going to the rim is a perfect example of no one on the floor even wanting the ball

okc just gave up down 4 to cap it off haha. so poorly coached

 

[NBAcapper08]

GB that stat line means nothing. he was 13-25 coming into the fourth. the lead he built was given away in 2 minutes when they benched him for whatever reason. they could have stole this one. my point is just roberson isn't slowing harden down anyway and he sucks at offense so whats the point of playing him

48 points sounds good......He had a horrible game in my book......2/11 from 3......16/42 missed 26 shots FG`s

Great player......He was a CHUCKER tonight though.

1 man show can`t beat 5 guys....Period!

 

[Enfuego]

have you watched any of the games this season or? pretty sure this makes the 0-6. these lineups obvioously don't work

Nope, my first game. I think OKC should've tried to outscore Houston at home. You're right.

 

[PatsFan1283]

im certinaly not claiming playing kanter or mcdermott more would result in a win. but its clear that this group doesn't have a chance in hell to even keep up with the rockets

So who would you put on the court and who would you take off?

Teams usually go defense 1st with roleplayers, you can hide a bad offensive player a lot easier than vice versa.

Rockets do a really good job with matchup recognition when teams have a bad defender in. And all their players can pop a 3 or roll hard.

edit: You said take Roberson off, I definitely wouldn't do that. He is their best guy to cover Harden. And he has a way better chance to slow him down than anyone else they have.

 

[bobbyjones2]

i sorry, but that wasnt rwb not having help, that was him not wanting it

horrible shot selection
