Can you change something you have done all year with massive success? The Rockets have been running their Super ISO all-year, but against the Warriors, it just isn’t as effective because of the Warriors defense and how they make you pay for it offensively.
Eric Gordon says things have to change when he spoke to ESPN Undefeated.
“This is going to be different. This is going to be a learning task for us,” Rockets guard Eric Gordon said.
“I definitely would like to get the ball more for me to be aggressive and get good looks,” said Gordon, who took 13 shots. “Offensively with everybody, we really don’t get real good looks. … We can’t isolate as much against a good defensive team. I don’t care who you are. We have some of the best isolation players out there. But against a team like that, it’s going to be too tough.”
The Rockets ran 45 isolations plays in Game 1, and that was the most by any team in 5 years.
