Charles Barkley is never shy about making his opinion known, with his latest comments appearing to criticize the Houston Rockets’ approach to basketball.
Out of every team in the league, the Houston Rockets are probably the most unique. Their latest approach to the game, heavily influenced by analytics, saw nobody above 6-foot-8 in the team’s regular rotation, emphasizing shooting and quickness over everything.
While the brainchild of Daryl Morey and Mike D’Antoni saw some success in spurts, the Rockets ultimately flamed out in five games to the Los Angeles Lakers, who were able to adapt their strategy based on their more diverse roster.
