1 guy can`t beat 5...lol
Who do you think he should put in? If they bring in McDermott or Kanter then Harden is going to put those guys in PnR every single time.
Everything sounds good until you try it. And you can't play those 2 guys together against a team like the Rockets.
Dipo been a disappointment for OKC, he was the guy that needed to stepup and be that #2 scorer in this series. Also, like I said in the other thread, they should've got Lou Williams. That was a big X-factor tonight.
1 team has a guy to create offense when their star leaves the floor, the other doesn't.

GB that stat line means nothing. he was 13-25 coming into the fourth. the lead he built was given away in 2 minutes when they benched him for whatever reason. they could have stole this one. my point is just roberson isn't slowing harden down anyway and he sucks at offense so whats the point of playing him

48 points sounds good......He had a horrible game in my book......2/11 from 3......16/42 missed 26 shots FG`s
Great player......He was a CHUCKER tonight though.
1 man show can`t beat 5 guys....Period!

So who would you put on the court and who would you take off?
Teams usually go defense 1st with roleplayers, you can hide a bad offensive player a lot easier than vice versa.
Rockets do a really good job with matchup recognition when teams have a bad defender in. And all their players can pop a 3 or roll hard.
edit: You said take Roberson off, I definitely wouldn't do that. He is their best guy to cover Harden. And he has a way better chance to slow him down than anyone else they have.
