As the Houston Rockets have begun the season 0-2, their infamous double-big lineup has looked largely ineffective on both ends of the floor: a major issue that the team will need to overcome if they have any hopes to utilize this weapon on a routine basis throughout the course of the season.
Moreover, Steven Adams, who will feature heavily in the Rockets' rotation this year, has looked to be easily fatigued through both of their games, compromising the viability of the zone defense they need to run when this line-up is on the court.
In the team's opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Adams played almost 37 minutes: a number that by no means will be sustainable throughout the course of the season.
