X-Hoosier Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 The Rockets have officially hired D'Antoni as their head coach and in their press conference told defense to go f*** itself. I gave that hire an F in the article I wrote Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

If he can't sustain the energy to play any defense... no reason to be on the court. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
BGleas Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Houston will be interesting to watch. I'm never a big fan of a coach that solely focuses on just one end of the court, but get what Wayne is saying in that if you're hitching your wagon to Harden (who I would never want on my team) you might as well focus on his strengths. Im also intrigued by this from Daryl Morey's perspective. He was at the forefront of the analytics movement in basketball. He was putting analytics systems in place for the Celtics back in the early 2000's, and I know he never cared for Jim O'Brien because all O'Brien cared about was defense, and ignored the offensive analytics that we're being produced. I'm just surprised Morey went with a coach in the complete opposite direction. HoosierAloha and WayneFleekHoosier 2 Quote
X-Hoosier Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 It basically Houston giving up on that side of the ball. Morey is one of the worst in the NBA now. He relies on analytics but has zero feel to the game. He had Dwight Howard. Who is a bigger force in a game than Harden can be. Instead Morey wanted Dwight to just stand there and watch the offense(Harden dribbling). The Rockets are a joke. Harden seems to have a Latrell Spreewell mentality. Most overrated player in the league. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Other than win the Shaqtin a fool award. He isn't an elite player in the league. Great scorer. But makes JBJ look like Kawhi Leonard on defense.

X-Hoosier Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Of the top-34 players in ESPN's Real Plus-Minus metric for 2015-16, Harden - who had started to turn a defensive corner in 2014-15 - was the only one to post a negative Defensive RPM. By the way.. Harden was "snubbed" from being on any of the All-NBA teams. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
