I believe we started Crowder instead of Favors all four times we played the Rockets this season, I would assume we'll do the same throughout this series.
I hope Royce starts over Rubio. Stick him on Harden, obvi. Let Joe be the tip of the playmaking spear.
I'm just trying to say some of my ideas before @Handlogten's Heros beats me to it.Hope you heathens and assholes are paying attention to the words pouring out of @NAOS pie hole. Yeah he’s a prick and dumber than he thinks
But around here he’s elite.
What do you think about the rockets sticking harden on Royce on the other end?I hope Royce starts over Rubio. Stick him on Harden, obvi. Let Joe be the tip of the playmaking spear.
super good thoughtsWhat do you think about the rockets sticking harden on Royce on the other end?
Would we be able to take advantage of hardens terrible defense? Royce doesn't set screens or get screens set for him much and I think putting harden in pick n rolls should be a priority.
Would harden not have to work much to guard Royce?
I definitely like the idea of Royce guarding harden but I don't know if I like it at the expense of us losing the opportunity to attack harden when on offense.
I also worry that Royce might foul too much (he is very physical and "handsy" defense) and get harden too the line early and often.
I don't have any better ideas though. I would just hope that the rockets wouldn't be able to stick harden on someone who doesn't initiate offense or get involved much in the screens and picks we set.

True but he averages 5 point per game and 4 shots. He simply isn't involved much offensively. Maybe things will change if harden is guarding him.Watched a break down of O’Neale’s cutting recently. Basically he starts to cut before the ball even hits his hands. Then he is athletic and strong enough to either make a shot at the rim but more often makes a good read to hit an open player.
With Harden’s weak D there is something to exploit there. Hit the rolling big or a wide open shooter for 3

Jazz also run a lot a ton of screens which causes defenders to switch a lot.

I agree but Royce isn't typically involved in very many of them so harden wouldn't need to switch
