As the Houston Rockets have begun the season 0-2, with losses to both the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Detroit Pistons, one of their surprising weaknesses has been their inability to contain opposing guards on the defensive end of the court, with the size of their starting lineup preventing them from quickly blocking off lanes to the basket.
Now, as they face the Brooklyn Nets and attempt to earn their first win of the season, they will need to get into their full defensive form against dynamic point guard Cam Thomas, who is coming off a stellar 40-point performance against the San Antonio Spurs.
