Houston’s 3-Point Barrage

Great breakdown I really dont understand how this happens it just seems like the Clippers wanted to give up three’s everytime the ball went down low they would immediately double or help in the post I see absolutely no need for that with this team maybe if they had a Tim Duncan or a Dwight Howard anyone who could maybe score 20 down low it would be understandable. But with Kaman and Camby down low there really should be no reason to try and double or help out in the low post. I would really like to see the Clippers play more zone defense maybe a 3-2 with Kaman and Camby down low Baron, Gordon and Thornthon up top could be highly efficient I feel Dunleavy is a good coach but he needs to find ways to win if that means mixing things up a bit then thats what he needs to do he need to play to his players strenghts not to what he wants to do. I would like to add that I believe Rick Adelman is one of the best coaches there is in the NBA hes never had a healthy Rocket team yet always seems to have them in the playoffs kudos to Adelman.

Yea, coaching does make a diffrence. When Gordon is out we need a stopper. what happened to Marty Collins,other then Gordon Marty plays great defense. scorers come and go but defenders win championships. Dunleavey needs to make better moves.

I remember KA picking Houston as his second-favorite team…I can see why. In a lot of ways they’re the polar opposite of the Clippers: A scrappy collection of players that don’t look good on paper, but who fit together and fit the team’s system. They’re built by a very smart front office that makes good personnel decisions that are a part of an overall strategy.

Someone tell me that isn’t the antithesis of the Clippers over the last few years.

I read that Blake is expected out into January now this morning….damn.

I missed the game, but I gather that the Clippers played *pretty* well from the posts this morning… although sounds like Butler’s inability to capitalize on Brook’s covering him cost us. Hopefully when we get the rest of our guys back we’ll be able to win games like this—

Yeah, I guess Dunleavy is resting Blake until January. Someone told me it provides him a good excuse because the Clippers have a hard schedule coming up this month.

We need another maggette type slasher for the sm fwd position.. Just not another Corey .. Please..ft attempts are killin us..
