Why is everyone on SBR taking the Rockets tonight? No way.
Rockets are the biggest isolation team I've seen in decades. Seriously. This team can't beat GS. They are gonna go through such dry spells. Everyone thinks this offense is unreal, but in reality, they are a slow paced team. Harden and Paul walk the ball up the court and play in a half court every time.
I can't see this offense being good enough to consistently beat the Warriors on the majority of possessions. The rockets defense is very good with Paul, Tucker, Ariza and Capella. They can switch, guard. They're strong. But I simply can't see those guys scoring enough to beat the Warriors tonight.
They are gonna get knocked in the face early and their iso ball won't work.
