The Houston Rockets are nearly two weeks past the trade deadline and it appears that they’re going to be fully committed to their small-ball concept of doing business for at least the rest of the season.
With Mike D’Antoni at the helm, this is to be expected and although this strategy is nothing new, it’s definitely trailblazing that the team has reconfigured to align with this mindset. In fact, you’d have to look back at least five decades where you’d find a starting lineup as small as the Houston Rockets at the moment.
