The Cavs slide + Houston’s Playoff Prep

Sie haben auch Veteranen, richtig? Richtig. Was ist ein Team, und wenn man sich die Standorte anschaut, welches ist ein Team, das die Houston Rockets absolut nicht gegen zu kΓ€mpfen wollen?

I think the biggest issue for them right now is that their half court issues are starting to become exploited on a bigger stage. Obviously, playing without Fred VanVleet has been their organizer, their table setter for two years now. I feel like they became so attached to him as their plan A that they never sufficiently created a plan B in the case of an injury or absence or whatever.

So what you're seeing now on a nightly basis is the Rockets are struggling to generate consistent half-court shots against the Warriors. I think they finished the game scoring... 68 points per 100 players in the half court, that's atrocious. It's not going to get it done at any level.

And it just comes back to a lack of spacing, a lack of movement, guys not understanding where to be at certain times, other teams that are... throw different coverages at them like the Warriors that showed zones. They blitzed. You have Alpey in the middle of the free throw line trying to direct traffic, and guys don't know where to be. It's just a mess.

And I think that's been the biggest issue because they don't know how to score at an efficient rate. And when the fourth quarter comes around, their luck that they rode all year is starting to come back to bite them. I think even though they're 18-12, In the clutch, they have like a minus seven net rating, which is just, that's the basketball gods to a tee.
