Did the Rockets expose their small members too early?

This team needs Luther Head

 

Small ball works 20 minutes a game, but not 48 minutes.

this team would be okay if you have Kuzma, Dwight and Harrell in the bench.

 

So succinct and well put.

Dantoni is notorious for this. He finds something cool that wort for a couple of games and then decided to spam it endlessly til the end of time.

Other teams like the Clippers and the dynasty Warriors have small ball line ups also. But they didn't always go to them because they knew it doesnt always work.

 

Should have unleashed small ball in the Playoffs to catch teams by surprise. This gimmick won't even make it till April

 

All this talk of stretch fours by Murray when he really needed a stretch footling

The Rockets do not have knock down shooters. The team leads in 3 point attempts and 22nd in percentage. Also, there are no alternatives when collectively the perimeter shot is off, the superstars are having average nights, the paint is walled and the officials are doing the Foster Brothers.

Defensively, the Rockets are getting exploited on the dribble drives and screen rolls. Even when the right rotations are made (tiring and thankless), opposing teams are making high percentage plays in the paint (lobs, dunks, lay-ups, prime offensive rebounding positions). Teams must be salivating when they look at the schedule and see the Rockets coming up.

Team scouting is too good, officiating is usually bad and unreliable, and on any given night, someone or the whole other team is setting records on the Rockets.

And in answer to MDA's assertion about "teams must adjust to the Rockets, not us," news flash, they are.
