What a wet fart of a Game 1

Guards were abysmal. Scared that Harden and Paul will feast on us.

Gotta say, I won’t miss the Ricky Rubio era.

i don't think we have the personnel to guard Harden that way. Bledsoe is a great, great, on ball defender... Hill pretty good too when he's healthy. Ricky (and others) were beat so bad by this that he got back to his left a lot anyway.

I'm not sure the defense was a problem last year... it was okayish last year... just do the hold your hands high and keep him off the foul line defense. If he hits 10 step backs and we lose fine. Keep him and Capela off the rim and don't give up wide *** open threes to Tucker/Gordon/House.

The offense is just bad... gotta figure out something better... may not have the horses there unfortunately.

Sefolosha is a great defender and needs to start. His only job should be to guard Harden. He is still known for his lockdown defense, we should use it. Bring in Ingles off the bench, further strengthening our depth. Something that we lacked in game one was ability to respond to Houston's depth. Faried, House, Green. I think that having Sefolosha guarding Hardin would change everything.

I just don't see it! And when he's on the court, he's just another guy on our team that couldn't shoot straight! We are much better off with Rubio and just make sure he gets the help he needs from Rudy and Favors, who need to play more aggressive and not worry about picking up a foul or two doing it!

The way we were defending we should have been in a zone. I know the switching D is really kind of a modified zone, but I wonder if a real zone, like a 122 would be effective, putting both favors and Gobert at the rim.

I like the idea of trying a zone, with the 1 sticking to Harden. Or put full court pressure on Harden from the get go, make him feel like it’s going to be a long night for him.
