Mike D’Antoni’s improvised rotation tips off in a few hours so here’s five final things to watch in game five.
1. Does Houston run a James Harden-Eric Gordon pick-and-roll?
Ryan Anderson is Houston’s best pick-and-roll option with James Harden. He always brought LaMarcus Aldridge to Harden for baking lessons and his three point shooting forced Kawhi Leonard to be honest and stay close to either or both. Running the pick-and-roll with Capela gives Leonard time to stay with Harden because the only threat is rolling to the basket or resetting the offense.
