The big lineup also gave up a bunch of open three's, but luckily the Pels were missing. We also gave up a lot of drives and points in the paint.
It's hard to judge Adams's value on offense. He puts so much pressure on the defense to keep him off the offensive glass that even though he's a non-shooter, he still occupies at least one defender on him. But we need shooting to unclog the middle. It will work if the outside shooting of Amen and Sengun improves significantly. On defense, I feel that zone defense confuses ourselves. There are lots of miscommunication. Perhaps it will get better with more reps.
Against GSW, the Rockets got killed in the 8 or so minutes a game when FVV sat which usually was not double big lineups.
I’m not discrediting Adam at all. I believe he is one of the top players on roster that opponent really plan ahead due to how impactful he is but I don’t think Capala can handle double big role like Adam is when he is not playing back to back or not feeling too well during regular season. I don’t mind going double big when the situation is right but don’t think it works as permanent solution to our FVV absent season
