1. Major disadvantages in the playoffs

The final one comes at the most important time of the season: the playoffs.

While the Rockets might be able to continue to win some games throughout the regular season by outscoring their opponents, which they have the scoring fire power to do, that won’t be easy to do in the plaoffs.

In a seven game series, where they will have to face players such as Anthony Davis, Nikola Jokic, LeBron James, or possibly Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid, how do they defend them? If you send a double team, they will just pass it to the next open guy.

Scoring won’t come easy either if you can’t rise over the guy to shoot or drive past the guy to get a layup.
