Neither. They're like the old LAC teams, with a lot of firepower but never quite enough juice to get them through in the playoffs.

Their whole thing is so gimmicky. Ok you want to shoot threes and run? Fine. But why just simply not find center who can shoot instad of this midget lineup where Westbrook is guardind players 8 inches taller?

I bet Houston will go out and find a 3 point shooting big this summer. This is probably an experiment that was done to 1) try it out 2) Trade Capela, who doesn’t fit their future, for a quality modern pf like Roco.
