is an old joke in the paint. Aldridge and Leonard are focused on
trying to score, not on figuring out the Rockets offense. You can't.
Parker is still quick but only in spurts, not constantly.
It's 4 seconds from a Spurs perimeter basket to a fast break, long pass
and bang - Rockets respond, this is demoralizing San Antonio.
Pops can't stop them in the half-court. They are too good !
Too fast, too accurate and too automatic in their execution of complex
offensive schemes that D'Antoni has taught them.
