Kerr & the Death Lineup pioneered the fully switching defense and the multiple playmakers in a lineup. Prior to them, for on-ball screens, it was either drop coverage or fighting through screens. The multi-skilled lineup really paved the way to these new play styles both offensively and defensively.
This is not new as this is how they played defense when they took the Warriors to 7 games. Switch forces teams to ISO so you better have good ISO scorers. OKC doesn't and it shows.
Their defense is very similar actually. Jeff Green is like Iguodala, House is like Klay, and Tucker is like a slower Draymond. They’re all versatile defenders. This team could win it all if they prioritize defense and don’t chuck up contested jumpers
Exactly. In other words, the Rockets bring it on the defensive end how we all thought the Clippers would. But turns out Kawhi and PG exert so much effort on offense that they seem to coast on defense the majority of time.
@@emperorza5777 Its just effort and IQ + good coaching. I think they are a group of guys that 100% bought in to D'antoni's system and they want to prove the doubters wrong
It would be interesting to see this style vs Philly, with a highly offensively skilled post big man.Too bad the Sixers are cursed to get shut down by Boston every year.
Can we take a moment to appreciate Mike D’Antoni for a second? Not too long ago he was getting a lot of hate for his system offensively and defensively, and he’s totally changed that
Daniel, I wanted to thank you for giving me a great knowledge of this kind of stuff in the NBA. I recently subscribed to your channel and I’ve learned sooooooo much about the nba
Between Covington,harden,Westbrook,gorden,house,rivers,green,Tucker, and some times Macklemore they are all lock down defenders with great hands and great switching all underrated defensively!!
Harden can play man-to-man play defense because but he has very low defensive awareness to guard off ball. He also don't put enough effort to keep up with guards and just play matador defense in the perimeter. So, yes, overall he's still a bad defender with the exception of man-to-man post-up defense.
ArtanisKizrath you saying he is a bad defender but he is leading the nba in steals and the nba in blocks amongst point guards, shooting guards and small forward
Krys even if those are just stats someone that lead in steals and lead in blocks amongst guards can’t be bad at defense and do y’all even watch the games? houston plays incredible defense and harden is clamping up
Instructive sequences; fascinating video. Congratulations to the Rockets and Coach D'Antoni on what is looking like excellent effort and execution through three.
Thanks for the breakdown coach! Danuel House has been a revelation this season. Dude is a legit 3nD players with improved slashing and playmaking this year. Rockets have been so good at evaluating lesser known talent and coaching them up into good players.
I feel like OKC just doesn't have that guy to dominate...CP3 is too old and Shai just isn't being given the green light to be that guy nor is he good enough in general yet. Dennis is good but OKC also just doesn't have that spacing to be dominant on offense
@@senseidemetrius4800 I mean he was pretty good but in my opinion I feel like he hasn't decided to be aggressive enough to decide that this is his team and that he needs to carry them to a win...he still plays under CP3 a little bit which i hate because Shai is the future and I want him to do it all
Thanks for the great work. This experiment defensewise is why I watch this series beside my dislike of hardens playstyle. I hope you will make a second one when (if) the lakers or portland breaks the defense.
Great content as usual. It will be interesting to see how this over-helping defense will hold against a better shooting and moving offense! Okc has been awful offensively..
*Fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 jumpshots at once, but fear the man who has practiced one Stepback 10,000 times, and Fear the Beard* -BRUCE LEE
I just want to point out that I’m really impressed with Danuel house jr. He started with the rockets manly a spot up shooter but has grown to the point to where he’s creating his own shots, driving to the basket, doing step backs, and playing good D. The only thing i think he needs work on is his playmaking and a couple more weeks in the gym working on his handle and he can become a top 75 player im the league
I'm not sure we could name 50 players better than Danuel House right now. He's looked really good all season and even better after the break. Dudes been super impressive.
Graeme Stonehouse for sure i totally agree with that. The only reason i said 75 was because i didn’t want to debate anyone on it so i kinda low balled it and because I’ve seen some top 100 list that don’t include him. All he needs is what I’ve already listed and consistency but the talent is already there
godzilla love sushi lmao the rockets have a better chance at doing something than okc. Nobody thought he was bad it’s just that CP3 contract was not worth it for what he was doing. If okc had a second big name star he’d be a problem but they have a lot of Young talent so it works out. Another thing is that Westbrook is doing better here than at okc. If you want to blame anyone blame the management. Houston has been able to put a team around Westbrook that fits him while in Oklahoma the gm just put people that didn’t fit Westbrook. Another thing is that the only reason okc is good is because that trade with PG13. I promise you CP3 alone wouldn’t do that with the team y’all had last year. I’d say okc got a steal from the clippers.
godzilla love sushi i mean Lebron is was an explosive player and he’s doing fine. And for them winning who knows. There are many teams this year that have a chance. The rockets aren’t my favorite to win but there’s definitely a chance. I feel like harden and Westbrook complete each other. Westbrook brings that intensity that harden has lacked and Westbrook doesn’t need to make difficult shots anymore since harden is with him. Again nothing is guaranteed but they can do it with enough focus
godzilla love sushi well than look at Derrick rose and John wall although i think Westbrook is better than those two and less injury prone than both. I think Westbrook’s got at least two more years and i think harden could go till he’s 40 if he wanted to😂
Yes my majesty but, WRONG !!! Harden great Defense this season Defensive analytics Sites have harden this season 85th in goldstein D- pipm 65th in Per 75 D- Raptor 48th in DRAPM Rank (Via nbashotcharts.com) Via bball-index.com) Via projects.fivethirtyeight.com) If you look at Harden’s defensive efficiency this season he is in the 88th percentile with a -5.6 differential on the defensive end 94th percentile for block % and in the 83rd percentile for steal % amongst all wing players 72rd percentile on isolation defense league wide 94 th percentile on post defense 1st overall in post defense 2nd amongst guards in total blocks 2nd overall in deflections 3rd overall in total steals If these numbers were attached to ANY other star, they’d be selected to an All-Defensive Team 💯
Yes my majesty but, ???? you’re talking about BPG when i showed impact defensive stats big difference i didnt even bring up harden leads the league in steals
this was pretty much like the warriors small ball lineup with Draymond at the center. that team was a defensive monster esp. when they really locked down in the 2nd half that lead to so many of those steph and klay transition 3s. i imagine AD would be a nightmare on the offensive boards against them tho
You do realise , Noel and Adams are ranked top in offensive rebounds right yet as a team they are getting outrebounded . Anthony Davis may be rendered useless if they play each other , to beat Houston you have to defend the perimeter and hope they shoot like ass
OKC would be wise to play Gallinari and Adams closer to the basket working high-low to force the defense to collapse more and create more open looks on the perimeter.
After every Rockets win, I see fans of the other teams complain that they didn't pound it inside more, as though their teams never thought of that. The problem is getting the ball inside when you have five gnats swarming everywhere.
You can definitely pound them inside. You just need to make clean post entry passes and work high low action because like you said thru have pesky perimeter defenders . Adams isn’t necessarily the guy for that but I do think Montrezl Harrell and AD will cause them problems
2:48 This scram switch really impressed me. How do you even train for this? Have the smaller defender just run towards the voice of the switcher? The fact that it was so fast makes that seem like the only option.
Lots of people bash on the Rockets because their offense is kinda boring to watch with all the isos, but man they're missing a lot on the defensive end. they're doing great honestly, they felt inconsistent during RS at times, but when they're focused they're grindy. I think post ups aren't the answer either, because they should be covering what they allow on defense with the extreme 3 game on offense; Lakers will put them to a real test if both teams go on the second round and that will probably be an amazing match up to watch, Davis was scary in game 2.
Me being a lacrosse player, The rockets remind me of a nice flowing defense for lacrosse with adjacent switching and cross sliding to help the beaten man to keep the offense from cutting in and getting to the paint
Reminds me of the pistons defense when they played the Lakers in the finals the way they pushed their offense back and cut the clock down where the Lakers had to force a shot
OKC needs to switch out my man steven if they wann get around that Defense, because they need to stretch the floor if they don't stretch it makes it harder to penetrate that defense, ik we use to use a almost completely same defense in school it worked well, but could be picked apart by smart teams.
@@NothingElseMattersJM doesnt work because of the type of defense they running they jump the ball and him when its being thrown or in his hands for 1 second.
Harden is mocked for his bad defense... But I say he has improved a lot. Deflections and steals every game. Also, Lou Dort has gotta be the best defensive rookie followed by Thybulle. The way Dort shut down Harden was amazing..if he can improve his shooting next season, he's gonna be a great two way player to watch out in the future.
lack of spacing , movement, and a dynamic big to challenge the smaller defenders is what the problem is. And just overall lack of creativity on offense, typical Billy Donovan. He’s a solid coach, but just isn’t great in offensive play design. Houston is playing decent defense too.
Coming into the series, i knew the thunder would have difficulties because of the super switchy defense the rockets employ. I just didn't expect the series to be this lopsided
@@scottlyon7974 The rockets still won with harden having a bad game. CP3 cant get going in this series, the rockets are playing suffocating defense in the perimeter
All I’m seeing is that Westbrook needs to be more physical on defense , they are looking so Crisp without him .We definitely need him to get in gear early , especially against both LA teams . 🚀🚀🚀
First minutes :aye i got harden on me
Second quarter:damn i got harden on me
Yeah, but he probably won’t stay on you, considering how he’ll probably switch off
First minute: YAMAN Harden gonna guard me
2nd quarter later: OMAN Harden guarded me

This reminds of the full switching defense by the Warriors during early in their dynasty. Lineups full of versatile defenders.
That’s exactly what it is aka death line up

The Rockets defense reminds me of who the Clippers SHOULD have been this year.
So they should have played small?dats crazy rockets are revolutionary
nsg shaun I meant in terms of defense intensity and cohesion on switches.

Well they will be up against the Lakers likely. So this type of defense against AD will be interesting. They might get exposed.
They just going to let AD get his and shut down any and all peremiter. Plus they always have active hands so any steal is live inside the paint.
They're running Embiid off the floor
