The total was 27 missed 3s I think! They also got kind of lucky with Igodala missing most of that WCF series. The players are the reason the Rockets haven't taken advantage of key injuries to the Warriors, but the coaching isn't particular smart either.

Clippers look really good imo, and it's like the Boston in 2018, where it wasn't about stars making plays or headlining for the team, but about individual players recognising their roles, embracing them, and therefore performing more efficiently. In this league, you either win because of the sheer talent you have on your team, or because ALL of your players buy in to the 'team' concept and not the superstar concept; like the 2014 Spurs, which is genuine true basketball. I place more blame on the coaching of Mike D' Antoni. That much talent from the bench you traded away, has went to become the new sheriffs of LA.

As a salty Rockets fan, I SHOULD agree with you, because his bloated contract extension is pretty much going to ensure that we won't be able to get a tier 3 guy any time soon. But WHEN we got him last year, he was arguably the 2nd best player in Houston. Hindsight really clouds us, and it kinda sucks that Harrell exploded into a prime player that is pretty much a better version of Kenneth Faried.

Harden can dominate a game, but through iso-ball and volume shots. Curry can dominate a game, but while getting everyone else involved at the same time playing the ‘right’ way. He is a legend, and a level above Harden.

Other than the contract, the only regret the Rockets should have had regarding Chris Paul is letting D'Antoni cast him as an extra instead of a slightly lesser co-star. The difference in the Rockets in 2017/18 and 18/19 season are more noticeable, while they played iso heavy both years, Chris Paul was much more involved, and the ball just happens to find shooters more often with him. He's not 24 and 10 kind of player anymore, but letting him have 18 and 10, isn't that bad honestly

Of course you would say that now... Everyone loved the CP3 trade when it happened. Beverly was coming off injury and did not have a consistent 3 point shot yet. Lou Williams was never this good until he got to the clippers and having the freedom to do whatever he wants. Montrezl Harrell was young and not proven yet. Give credit to the clippers for developing these players and getting the best out of them. I don’t think they would have been the same caliber if they were on the rockets.

Can we finally, FINALLY admit two truths: Mike D'Antoni is a bad basketball coach and James Harden and Chris Paul are the two most overrated players of our generation? D'Antoni has a system that is very hard to deal with when the other team has no time to prepare for it; however, when his system is challenged and slowed, he has no plan B. He doesn't have either the attention to detail or ability to make adjustments that are the hallmarks of a good NBA coach. No matter how many MVPs or all stars he has on his team, he is 0-5 in playoff series against Pop and 0-3 against Kerr. For years now, all the media does is sing Paul's and Harden's praises. "One of the best point guards in NBA history", "Should be the MVP", etc. When it comes down to crunch time, the legacy of Paul and Harden is one of playoff failure, and more than just failure, chokes. When it comes time for the gut check, both of these guys consistently fail to demonstrate their fortitude. Morey may be convinced that analytics are the way to winning, but the numbers can't factor heart.

He played great this series but idiots will only remember the last quarter, and forget Curry's embarrassing game 4. Saying Dantoni is a bad coach is also ridiculous, he routinely puts together contenders that only fall to GOAT coaches/teams.

Iso ball, lack of engagement, no real team play, etc etc. I think this all boils down to Darryl Morey, and his overly analytical approach to the game. All he cares about is how to score the most points, he doesn't take or encourage a team based approach. Just give the ball to Harden, and get out the way. The Dubs play as a team, and have a team first culture. I believe that is the core difference. You could have Heat era Lebron, CP3, and Harden on this Rockets team and would STILL lose, because they wouldn't play as a team.
