    Offensively, it's true to some extent. But you can't leave those bigs on the floor if they can't chase us around the perimeter.

    It was nice to see Bill Simmons salty tears not go to waste, doesn’t look like he acknowledged they won and you just know he stayed up and watched the emend of the game. Ha ha

    team defense gonna be a work in progress for sure, making it more balanced on both ends
    just 1 game, it's a long to go
    (due to cc leaving, force everybody to rebound and play D, jh should know he would be the first one to do that, otherwise, he will be isolated in this team)

    This also lets James defend more in the post, where he's actually an asset

    Lakers blinked first. Couldn't deal with the small ball lineup and THEY changed their lineup cause of us. Was beautiful to watch!

    Because any traditional center is going to get burned defending smaller/faster players on the perimeter.

    It's pretty amazing how the small ball Suns were universally considered the most fun to watch team in the NBA. Same goes for the Warriors when they went small - they played the "beautiful game".

    When the Rockets go absolutely all in on small ball to a level that nobody else has dared to it's suddenly the most disgusting thing to watch in the entire universe.

    They thought we are fake one, gotta to be a failure since we kinda mimic suns and hampton5.
    Based on critics, they have got kinda consensus these days in variety of sports shows, that we rockets are forced to play small ball on half way other than naturally grown to be, by specific LTS seasons.
    They thought small ball born to have dna spectrum, i.e. should be those teams who built based a perfect blue print (personnel wise, like the suns) to play. In another words, they count chickens before hatched that we were not built to be.
