Houston Game Thread: Our true rival in the league

It might be time to go small with Scott/Diarra at the 5. Doesn't look like Vogt/Sorolla are going to manage anything on offense (especially not Sorolla) against the immediate double team and they are liabilities on defense.

Give up everything you do because they had a good start? Interesting strategy

 

[cincyguy13]

Defense all the sudden is fine when they aren’t making shots.

At least when Vogt is resting. Sorolla doesn't belong in this game. Vogt's been okay so far on defense, but hasn't dealt with the trap well at all.

I agree but you don’t give up on one of the strengths you have. Trying to out small ball them would be bad. They have way better small players than us. Use what got you here.

They aren’t going to shoot 80% the whole game.

 

[cincyguy13]

Getting out work. One thing we couldn’t do

 

[mdchick]

Diarra completely lost

I mean they have better players

You can just watch and just tell

Why aren’t they ?

They are getting in rhythm looks all night.

 

[cincyguy13]

Diarra not helping his case

They definitely have the best players out of any team in the conference and I don’t think it’s close, if they had a center they would be a top 10 team

Name 1 team that ever has. That’s why

Yeah, Diarra has regressed the last 3 or so games. I'd be fine with having Scott at the 5 right now and going small.

If the team with better players won every game there wouldn’t be a reason to watch. Never said they didn’t have better players

1-3-1 zone with Diarra at the point, interesting defense.

Our offense is pretty much just the Jarron Cumberland show.

That’s what everyone wanted. Including myself

Cumberlands FT shooting is hurting

I wanted it too, but maybe not quite this much. We need a little more of a contribution from other players. We have two players with more than 3 points at half (Scott and Jarron).

If anyone else wants to contribute, im for that
