I think one of the reasons that the Rockets lost was because D'Antoni made a mistake in using Capela. D'Antoni played mostly small ball & Capela only played < 30 minutes. Even though he averaged only that much play times during the season, D'Antoni should have played him more minutes, because his presence absolutely dominated offensive rebounding (Green was way too short, Kerr didn't play McGee/Zaza, & KD didn't want to fight for rebounding that much near the hoop), as well as defending their own hoop (against Curry's hoop attacks, for example etc.).
It's no doubt that GSW's defense was slightly better than Rockets' in this game. That's why they say Defense Wins Championship. 作者: aplusluke 時間: 2018-5-15 09:03 PM
