The Thriller

As you said we just don't have the firepower. Rudy is limited and they know this. So is Rubio. Add in Favors and there is absolutely nothing to fear on the outside. This makes Capella's job amazingly simple and allows CP3 to guard these guys as everyone else can switch or sag off. I agree we should've attacked Harden but that's easier said than done when all Houston had to do is clog the paint.
Dantoni is exploiting this team. I was reading somewhere where an assistant coach said they got exactly what they wanted with Rubio and Crowder being the focal points, not Donovan. While Rubio and Favors played well they just don't match up well in today's game. Crowder is a little better but at 33% from the three, teams are not afraid of him and dare him to shoot. Ingles, who I haven't mentioned, is scared of his own shadow at times.
Yeah I get that we’re limited. But I’d like to at least see us try and exploit harden. I’d rather have us force plays against harden than see Thabo and Jae brick wide open 3s.
