In just one quarter in the regular season opener for the Houston Rockets, it became abundantly clear what Ime Udoka intends to do with this team: go big. With the addition of Clint Capela in the offseason to back up the Rockets' starting frontcourt, it seems Houston could be committing to a double-big arrangement that will influence how this team wins basketball games.
Udoka began the night with a lineup featuring Steven Adams and Alperen Sengun on the interior. This mirrors what we saw the Rockets do for much of the preseason, and it hints at what their philosophy could be for this regular season.
