Houston’s small ball only works when ALL of their players are fighting for every rebound and boxing out while also playing tough, physical defense on the taller players. Whatever team plays against them has to do the same with their taller players. The height difference lulls the opposing players into laziness and complacency. The opposite happens to the Rockets players, since they know a seven foot center isn’t going to bail them out.

Paying a guy 40 million in in order for a team to reach 50+ wins donāt seem like such a bad contract now tbh.

If chris paul can get the thunder out the first round, I’m have to look at westbrook in a different light and applaud KD for leaving and telling the truth that you can’t win with him. This would be a big mark against westbrool career

Weād be a top team if we didnāt have such a slow start (like if we had the post-thanksgiving momentum at the beginning of the year).

Because that team is suited for a point general like CP3. Whereas the open spacing is suitable for an attacking guard like Russ. It’s literally just a system fit switch.

Why is this Amin guy on here all the time? He is awful to listen to.

Yes because Russ was focused on carrying them when they could just ball and develop for themselves. CP3 is not going to grabbing rebounds or taking hits at the rim for them because he canāt and even he could he wouldnāt. Heāll let them develop but heās closing games when they need him to.

I think they are more well rounded team with parts the mesh better. Instead of relying on 2 to get you 25-30 a game they have 4 who get you 20-25 keeping teams more honest on defense while being solid on defense themselves.
