This season proved that while small ball is fun to watch its not a long term sustainable roster that can compete with the powerhouse teams in the current NBA, and after losing their architects of such maniacal strategy, the biggest task for Stephen Silas an unknown future Rockets GM is how do you construct this roster to compete without fear or favor to cater to their superstars. Its a dicey game of chance for the Rockets and so far they are rolling snake eyes with very little chips to gamble with for their future.
