It's Obvious, the 4th Quarter is our achilles, besides the concept of Defense.
Instead of yelling for Mchale's job, or killing Jeremy "Cringe", lets figure out what is the best set to run in the last five minutes.
I would love to hear your ideas, I know the Howard/ Harden pick and roll would be the obvious choice.
And I'm actually ok with the HARDEN Iso.
The more I watch Harden, he reminds me of Paul Pierce. Great shooter with a slow motion drive to the basket. And every time Celtics ran an iso for pierce in a crunch time, I felt pretty confident that he would hit the shot because Pierce knew what areas ( the elbows) he needed to get to. In contrast, I don't think Harden knows where his spot is, I think he believes he can hit it from anywhere which is wrong. If Harden can get to the free throw area, (which he can!) and pull up, I would feel pretty confident. Right now, I think he is pulling up above and near the three point line. I think that slight adjustment, would improve our chances.
Howard in the post, for me is a big no no. I know we have to feed him to make him happy but Harden is our best player.
