A couple of the Rocketts stepped up and they won the game with the Beard not really distributing, or creating shots. It was a strange game. I thought that for sure that Russ would shoot them out of the game, but somehow, they pulled it out.
On that note, Russ has really turned into the worst shooter in the league. Like EPIC bad. WTH. For a team like HOU that focuses on efficiency, how is it possible that they keep allowing him to chuck aimlessly night after night. How did he get THIS bad? He is a combined 14-57 the last two games, including 1-12 from 3. Why hasn't Coach Dan given him the bright red light - at least from 3? He should focus on D, pushing the ball on the break, penetrating into the lane to distribute or finish at the rim. This can't be in any model that Morey has cooked up, right?
Speaking of inefficiency, time to go check out what the Cowboys have been up to while I watched that weird Hou/Tor game.
McLemore and House came up big for Houston. McLemore made 8 3's and had 28 pts. House had 16 off the bench. Houston shot 22-55 from 3. Toronto was 12-39. Toronto's game plan worked vs Harden to a extent, Harden just scored 23, but Toronto shot poorly and had 22 TO's.
David Fizdale on suicide watch. Knicks got smoked, 129-92 by the Nuggets.
