In a series played at this level, the reffing will almost always look horrible at times. It's part of the game.

NBA should institute a 1 pt penalty for every complaint about a call or non-call just for this series.

that game was some boring ass iso basketball
― micah, Tuesday, 15 May 2018 10:56 (six years ago) link
i really enjoyed that game actually. there was..... a lot of iso-ing but a good pace and some pretty fun back and forth shot making
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 15 May 2018 13:21 (six years ago) link
i didn't find it aesthetically pleasing but fascinating to watch all the mismatch hunting.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 15 May 2018 13:25 (six years ago) link
that game was a pretty tidy illustration of the problem with playing the warriors... the rockets pretty much matched the warriors two best players last night (KD & klay) but man did the rockets role players look not ready for that stage/intensity at all. i guess it was an unusually weird game for ariza and he's Been There Before but damn they were shooting shit off the sides of the backboard and shit. i guess there will be games where gordon and ariza play well and they look legit but that looked a lot less like a team ready to push the warriors to the brink than i thought. and capela did not seem to make an impact last night aside from a few blocks.

it was a little odd that both teams were doing that from the jump. i guess it speaks to the intensity of the series but that kinda relentless hunting feels more like something from a game 6 to me or something.
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 15 May 2018 13:29 (six years ago) link
not every postgame thing i've read agrees but i thought capela was good at limiting draymond's help defense. draymond could not roam off of him out of fear of the lob. i felt like when capela was out of the game draymond started to get really disruptive on harden.

i think this makes some interesting points about the rockets style of play
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 15 May 2018 15:37 (six years ago) link
yeah the rockets deciding to make the fewest passes in the entire league was an interesting choice
― sprout god (lag∞n), Tuesday, 15 May 2018 15:41 (six years ago) link
hot potato ball movement is such a hallmark of championship teams
― sprout god (lag∞n), Tuesday, 15 May 2018 15:42 (six years ago) link
and it makes great one on one players like harden and paul that much more effective when they receive the ball with a positional advantage
― sprout god (lag∞n), Tuesday, 15 May 2018 15:43 (six years ago) link
i turned on the game last night in the early second half and the warriors were only up by a few but it still had a total stressful horror movie vibe so i turned it off
― sprout god (lag∞n), Tuesday, 15 May 2018 15:45 (six years ago) link
also i hadn't really thought about the idea that hunting steph out when the warriors are on defense isn't as really as effective when harden is just iso-ing him at the top of the key
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 15 May 2018 15:46 (six years ago) link
harden will prob score a lot but the point is more to wear steph out & if you're not banging him in the post or putting his body thru screens he has to fight thru then what's really the point? harden can score on anyone
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 15 May 2018 15:48 (six years ago) link
yeah going against a totally set up prepared defender who you have a theoretical advantage over prob isnt any better than going against a superior defender who you encounter on the move
― sprout god (lag∞n), Tuesday, 15 May 2018 15:49 (six years ago) link
and needless to say the rest of the defense is just hanging out in perfect position ready to do their thing
― sprout god (lag∞n), Tuesday, 15 May 2018 15:50 (six years ago) link
one thing that wld prob help is if harden just went faster instead of dribbling a million times
right that's what i mean about steph and the picks. when the cavs were really wearing him down i feel like his body was going through the meat grinder on switches bcuz he really needed to fight for position or else the cavs were going to score, whereas last night a lot of the picks/switches felt really perfunctory, like steph knew harden just wanted to line him up for a one on one and didn't need to worry about being out of position

yeah kerr is smart, the rockets started by denying all the warriors normal actions so he just want to the kd mismatch to hopefully open things up, which it did by the last quarter. curry played really well, 8 assists and only 1 TO and no crazy forced shots, played like traditional pg game basically. defended well enough and got a couple key steals.
