On Friday, former Rockets guard Kenny Smith cited the Rockets’ style of play as a barrier for them winning the title. Smith was on ESPN’s First Take and explained his reasoning.
“They have a great chance. It’s not like implementing an offense that’s gonna build and ascend again.
We know exactly what Houston is gonna do. Isolate, penetrate, pitch. That’s it, that’s their whole offense. There’s nothing to change, there’s nothing to do.
I think they do have a huge advantage. But at the same time, I think guys like LeBron and AD can play that way as well. I think Denver can play that way as well.
And being that small, I just don’t see it. If they still had Clint Capela, I would probably pick them as the favorite. But without him, I don’t see it.”Comment -

RoCo is going to be their x factor. He will determine how long a series goes in the deeper rounds. In this version of small ball he is the marginComment -
