Yeah they definitely adjusted to it but also we shot our selves in the foot when we made the right read and didn’t convert. We missed 17 layups that’s 34pts. Hitting even half of those is almost 20 pts. Can’t do that again. This team is prideful and I’m confident they’ll be much competitive tonight. If that results in a win, we’ll see.
I'm sure they will come out better.. that pride needs to come from Harden on both ends though. I've seen some pathetic defensive effort from him, which i know is his reputation. But guys are getting by him at will and its creating some easy opportunities for the Warriors.
I don't buy the layups thing though, because the Warriors missed some too.. and its not like the Rockets layups weren't challenged. Harden seems to get caught in between because the Warriors wait him out at times. So he gets caught between the lob and the layup.
But i don't think analyzing previous games help forecast this game. Each game is new, and we have to see how things play out.
Hopefully the Rockets decide they wanna play tonight.
