Houston looking to push the tempo tonight Sorry, Posted this in the wrong forum earlier
Track meet
For the first time this season, the Rockets will play a team as determined to run as they are. But the Rockets said they will remain determined to be up-tempo.
“That can’t change the way we’re going to play,” coach Rick Adelman said. “We’re not a team that can walk it up the court. Dallas can play both ways. We can’t play any different, no matter who we play.”
Though the Mavericks are one of the NBA’s top running teams, Shane Battier said, if anything, the Rockets have to be more determined to get up and down the floor quickly against the Dallas size.
“We have to play quick,” Battier said. “We have to play fast. They have so much size, if we try to slow it down, it works in their favor. We have to push the tempo, even faster.”
