What a wet fart of a Game 1

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. 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!

Thabo doesn't have the footspeed to guard Harden anymore unfortunately.

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.
