Kevin Porter Jr. said #Rockets ran 'wiper' for he and Jalen Green, and whoever Neto was defending would be who took the final shot

FYI:Wiper is ordinarily a screen then re-screen action during an out-of-bounds play. Here, wiper was to 'wipe' the defender, create preferred switch

#Rockets Film Room: 5-1 INVERTED Pick-and-Roll between James Harden and Jeff Green

It’s not your normal Harden and Big man pick-and-roll. It’s inverted, meaning the Big (Jeff Green) is the ball-handler and James Harden is the screener. https://t.co/sCPjFK3oeM

At NBA level, his coaches and player development staff will look to leverage his quickness and teach him proper technique on coming around screens. Needs to improve his 1) decision making, 2) hip movements and 3) will need to play with other + defenders to makeup for length.

A lot has been made on Ponds' offensive abilities, but he'll need to demonstrate he can stay on the floor defensively. With a 6'2 wingspan, must be disciplined. Cannot take poor angles or reach, puts him at more of a disadvantage. He is good at isolation (lateral quickness).

@BucksFilmRoom Wrong question lol. There’s double standard with the thinking. When Harden was carrying his team w/o CP3 and had a better record than the Thunder. Westbrook still won because of the number of triple doubles. Point is, that it’s bias anywhere you look at it. Both players are so-

Brogdon held Harden to 2-11 shooting, 3 turnovers, and an offensive foul the last time the Bucks played the Rockets. His absence, heavy ball pressure and length on the weak-side, will be felt.

[Clutch City Hoops @ClutchCityHoops]

All this focus on the #Rockets injury report, and I almost forgot that the Bucks are without Malcolm Brogdon tonight. Big loss.

He was great in the last meeting - 24 pts, 5 rebs, +20.

PJ Tucker had a great shooting performance against the Hornets. Scored 15 points, all from 3’s. Shot a perfect 100% from the 3PT line.

roll right to the rim in open space. The big thing here is that Omari Spellman is engaged at the weak side screen because he’s guarding Tucker on the perimeter. This allows Capela to roll right to the rim. Carter leaves and we get an Alley-Oop Lob.

This play is called 21 Nash, popularized by your very own Houston Rockets. Play starts off with a James Harden pass to Eric Gordon on the wing. Then we’re gonna get Harden and Capela both into a double ball screen. Harden is the first guy getting the ball screen and Capela is—

setting the second ball screen. One thing to notice now is that we can see that the paint is empty. We have Tucker on the weak side with Omari Spellman guarding him. As Eric Gordon comes off the screen all the read is what Carter does since he’s in single tag action he’s going to
