For once Chuck brought up a great pt at halftime, HOU is used to this pace but not against that level of D and that much effort into each possessionThey shortened their rotations tonight. The bench went 8-26 for 21 points. And Tucker/Ariza, in the starting lineup, combined for 3-11 for 9 points. That's 3 players left that actually showed up. Hardcan, CP0 and Capela. And Capela disappeared in the second half. I'm not saying they're going to win. I just think it's major overreaction like every game 1 in here.
I'm assuming Dantoni will attempt to negate the late shot clock passes to bad shots by Harden mainly, to get guys in better rhythm, but even w/ that it's much different when you have to actually work for almost every shot
harden looked definately to be tiring at the end there, and it's game 1. Not a good sign IMO
