    The NBA will be using the no-ball strategy for the remainder of this calendar year.

    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.”

    I don't understand why they cut Hartenstein. thought he could've been an X-factor for them. their best big man on the roster now is Chandler? yeah I'm out.

    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 margin

    Small ball may work in the early rounds but size matters. In relationships and basketball

    Once the virus spreads amongst the players it's over. The guys don't social distance. How many times do we have to say it?
