The Rockets have ran in to many problems early in this young
season the offensive spacing early was off due to having both Dwight Howard and
Omer Asik operating in the same space. Defensively
the Rockets at times were having trouble stopping 3 year olds from scoring.
In talking with a NBA scout he mentioned when you have a
Dwight Howard you should be better defensively “you can certainly be more
aggressive on the ball when you have Howard protecting the rim”. I can
personally remember before the start of the season Jeremy Lin joked, the defensive
was something the coaching staff stressed last season, and last season they
just didn’t listen very much…. The scout I spoke to with mentioned “you should
always have consistency at the defensive end, although there's let downs in
some capacity during a long season. That's
why you need a consistent philosophy”. Really does anyone know what the
defensive philosophy on this team is….. Anyone?
The team has defensive players and has players that have the
talent to play defensive on high level, James Harden? The scout went on to say “He
(Kevin McHale) has some defensive talent but they have to embrace their
philosophy.” Which leads me to believe in what Jeremy Lin said, we just didn’t
listen….
