What a debacle, at least if you're a Rockets fan. Two things I learned watching Game 4:
a) Rafer Alston cannot guard Deron Williams. The Rockets need to trap Williams on the pick and roll to prevent him from getting into the paint at will. Putting McGrady or Battier on Williams could be an option too, and have Alston guard Fisher as well.
b) The Rockets have been outworked for the ball in almost every quarter of this series, except for the third and fourth quarters of those games in Houston. The third quarter has been the quarter where each team has made the deciding runs that won the four games.
So, what's next? Three games to decide the winner of the series, with the next one in Houston. I only hope the Rockets come out with more energy in front of their home crowd; they seemed intimidated and listless on the road.
