Time and again a single player on another team has a great and maybe even career games against us. The last time we did that to Harden and it worked. Yet RC refuses to try that consistently. I understand that it might open up some easy shots elsewhere but that is the point isn’t it? To at least make some others prove they can beat you. We all know Randle is the alpha on that team just as DeRozan is on the Spurs.
RC has great amount of respect for James Harden, even to go far as saying his comparable to Michael Jordan, yet he found a strategy to contain him.
What I don't understand is how inept he is when it comes to non-all-star players that go off on us. Great coaches adjusts to reduce other teams strengths and attack on their weaknesses. Rick may not have the all the tools (players) to do that but than again, he doesn't use all his other tools (Boban, Green, Melli) and appropiate lineups, or responsive lineups.
