This makes it very difficult on opposing teams, especially guards because there's not much space created by screens and they can do this because they're athletic.
That and Sefolosha is a Bruce Bowen type player but more athletic.
My main concern with a line over 10 isn't Houston getting hot, it's OKC playing complacency or their much weaker second team playing more minutes, allowing a back door cover. This is a more likely scenario if the Rockets cover.
With that said, I'll say OKC isn't afraid to run it up at home. Like the honey badger, they don't give a shit.
