Port, a lot of that shitty transition defense comes down to lack of effort

Dude the Clippers are legitimately outplaying them in every facet of the game completely, the refs have nothing to do with it.


I'm talking in general bro. Yes, the Clippers are destroying them. A lot of that has to do with McHale's horrible strategy and a lot has to do with the Clippers playing better. Which actually makes it worse because they have such great ability and it just feels like they spend more time flailing and flopping than playing.

All I know is Warriors/Grizz vs. Clippers is going to be amazing.


This.

The Clippers are incredible. I hate that San Antonio drew them in the first round.

This gets messy. Not sure if coaches will be lining up to coach Moreyball.

This roster doesn't perfectly follow the rules of Moreyball, which I think is a huge problem.

I agree. I'm saying the Clippers are busting their arse and they have no answer. It's demoralizing.

Trying to remember a more pathetic and uninspired effort by a 2 seed or better in a playoff series but I'm not able to think of anything worse than this.


When the Mavs won the title they swept the Lakers in the 2nd round.

I am a believer the Rockets' style is more apt to loading up regular season W's but even still, this is pathetic.


Their style is fine. Their D has been horrible in the playoffs. That's why they are losing. Clippers have always been a bad matchup for the Rockets the last few years though.

Teams are able to prep much more in the playoffs

Though I agree on the Rockets style not being the issue. I do think not having the ability to play slow is killing them.

The 7 other playoff teams would have done the same

playoffs are always interesting bc they show where the absolute deficiencies of each team are.

with the rockets, i just don't think they have enough firepower to go toe to toe with the clip or warriors in a best of 7 setting. They sure as hell aren't well equipped defensively to withstand the barrage from either team.

Oh, and McHale is showing what's he's not capable of...

There's no way to quantify morale but I feel like going to Hack a Jordan early in the game really fricked up the psyche of the Rockets.

I think Morey wants to win more than anything. He said on the grantland basketball hour that they are looking at defense more than anything. He doesn't come across as prideful and we know he is smart. I don't think he is glued to a certain style imo.

Not every team has a guy in Harden who can score 30+ every night in the reg. season on 5 made FG's.

So far in his still young career, he has not been able to consistently get those calls in any given playoff game. Dallas was the exception to what I've seen dating all the way back to OKC days.

Rondo TKO'd any chance the Mavs had. They limped into the playoffs.
