Today's game is so much more entertaining
30% iso ball only played in the 90s, no one does that anymore in today's game
Malik Hairston, come in and spin this.
Just elite defense tbh
lol rockets winning that november le tbh
No one said the Rockets is a great team. Without muh needed foodstamps they're lolable
How many FT's for Harden last night?
Rockets going through those defensive grinds early in the season. Collecting Ws.
Man, that one low scoring game sure proves your point!
The offense looked absolutely abysmal due to Morey's shoot nothing but 3's philosophy. And McHale of course. Jesus he lets his players get murdered and doesn't say a thing.
I have a question since I dont follow the rockets FO why does it seem thay morey has a lot of say on their offense? Like what you said, shoot nothing but 3s etc when he's not even the coach
Good question. I really don't remember any other Houston GM with this kind of say. I'm guessing the organization wanted to go with the analytics movement. But Morey having so much say in the offense is what ran off Adelman, and McHale is just a yes man.
I dont think Adelman was a much bigger loss though? Ways better than mcfail but certainly not thebcoach that would make them legit contenders. Although as you said, maybe morey is the real problem...

Told you Morey sucks. He's won one playoff series ever, with Carroll Dawson's players, but thinks he's qualified to tell NBA coaches how to do their jobs
It'd be one thing if he just stuck to the analytics like pretty much everybody else, but his inflated ego gets in the way.
I know that "take" by Harlem and others is bull . The 90's did suffer a bit from the 80's talent getting old...and a whole heap of draft busts (Yinka Dare anyone?) And the talent and quality of play didnt really recover to the mid 2000's.http://espn.go.com/blog/statsinfo/po...ters-miss-mark

but all this the 80's 90's team couldnt survive defense is so complex and all that bull is overstated. Teams (good ones) still run Horns, UCLA cuts, Princeton and triangle principles.
Yes, teams and the league advance the game with a few new concepts and wrinkles but basketball is still basketball at it's core. Yes, if Lebron played in 80's and 90's he would dominate but he dominates now.
Great players transcend generations even if the impact might be less because the athletes have gotten bigger stronger faster ...
No, it's a fact that defensive schemes are more complex. Before the illegal defense rule was abolished, there was the occassional coach who figured out how to work around it, but since that rule went away, we've seen much more sophisticated schemes like the strong-side. There's much more of an emphasis on team defense now, too.
Schemes are no doubt more sophisticated, both offensively and defensively, but it's not due to some sudden improvement in coach intelligence, it's because changes in rules allow certain sets to be executed. The Walton Blazers and Reed Knicks were running a free flowing offensive game in the 70s. Priceton offense has been around for ages, in the college ranks to boot.
Thinking the 90s were a weak period in basketball because of league rules is stupid, at best.
Never said it wasn't a fact ... I said its overstated.
86 Celts would steamroller most teams that run complex schemes because they could shoot were excellent passers and had a good mid range and great low post players.
I'd still take my chances against them with a legit defensive scheme and team defense instead of the '90s "hard fouling and thugging it up" defensive strategy.
Devoting an entire thread to 1 single game in 2014 that resembled the majority of games in the 90s..if you had pain watching Rockets-Thunder, 1 random game in November, imaging having to watch an entire era of basketball that utilized that playing style every single night
"a single game "

How was that a majority? It's the 11th game since the shot clock? That's 11 since the 50s. Unless all the other previous 10 games happened in the 90s, and they only played 19 games through the entire decade, it couldn't be a majority.
