will say that we need a better attacker than Holiday. He did have an especially bad game, but I don't think people are giving the Rockets defense enough credit. They didn't make anything easy for the Pels. If you plan to move the ball it will be fine, if you want to run P&R Holiday didn't look good enough to create offense against a tough defense.

All of that. Rockets are good. Pels were nervous/feeling things out.

They need to keep moving (on and off) the ball. Get it to Davis/Cousins in favorable spots and then go from there.

They can't solve the fact that they don't have enough shooting right now for when teams double/sag. At times, they will just have to let it fly and hope a guy like Hill can hit enough. Not great

Defense will take time. Rockets are good. Baby steps when they need wins is a weird spot.

You think a guy like Rubio is enough of a pass first guard so that holiday can do his attacking from the 2 spot? We need a facilitator that doesn't care about his points.

You can give them ball to AD all night in the post when he has a SF guarding him the entire night, instead of giving him the ball at the 3 point line, or not giving him the ball at all.

And just b/c someone gets doubled doesn't mean a 3 pointer needs to be taken. Cut to the basket and get an open layup, but we haven't made those kinds of cuts all season.
