What is happening with the Rockets? are they expose by the Clippers here? I was thinking it would be a close game but it seems like the Clippers are betting them every quarter,.. Rockets are dead when their 3 point shooting is not hitting, Clippers knows how to beat them?
It was just a horrendous shooting night for Rockets. When you shoot 7/43 for three points, you can't expect to win against weak teams, let alone one of the main contenders, Clippers. On top of that, Clippers exploited their small lineup with Harrell and especially Zubac, 2 very good centers. I still can't believe how easily Lakers got rid off very talented and still young center Zubac, and for Mike Muscala, who played like crap for them, and they eventually get rid of him. That was one of the weirder trades I've seen in a while, made no sense at the time, and still doesn't.
This small ball lineup is for sure interesting to watch and kudos to Rockets for trying it, but i doubt that they can go far with this tactic.
