WCSF Game 4: James Harden Exposed -- Rockets at Jazz 5/6/2018 6:00 pm MST

[LoPo]

So Houston has two key veterans who many teams really, really like. They are known for defending, shooting the 3, and complimenting everybody.

Trevor Ariza's stats this series: 32mpg, 42% FG, 35% 3p, 3.5rpg, and 7.5ppg
Luc Mbah a Moute's stats this series: 19mpg, 25% FG, 13% 3p, 3rpg and 3ppg
Royce O'Neale's stats this series: 28mpg, 52% FG, 31% 3p, 4rp and 9ppg

And those guys get to play with superstars known for spreading the floor and getting them open looks. We don't even have our starting PG.... O'Neale is averaging more points, shooting a better percentage, and getting more rebounds.

After this entire season and postseason, I can't believe we are sitting here arguing over an undrafted rookie who just started against the #1 seed. The kid has been a pleasant surprise and is definitely not part of the problem.

O'Neill was perhaps our best player in game 3.

Favors is a much better fit than Gobert as far as this series goes because he can guard other players better 1-on-1. The +- for the series backs this up as well.
