This Rockets Duo Makes No Sense

The Rockets have found something with the double-big pairing of Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams, but what makes it work so well?

  1. I know injuries are a big factor but take them away I personally would take AD on my team over Luka any day. Because I am a big believer in defense being the reason

  2. Kinda reminiscent of how the Raptors played stifling defense with an Ibaka + Gasol frontcourt, and versatile wings like Kawhi, Siakam, Green etc.. The bigs could stretch the floor on offense too. Houston really has something special going on there with their bigs. If Sengun ever stretches it out to 3, I'm not sure how you guard their big lineup…

  3. Sengun is a liability both on defense and offense. Lacks size & athleticism, can’t shoot 3s and inefficient with less than 50% fg. He’s lucky he has Adams by his side.

  4. The big lineup can be a problem to all teams in west except maybe lakers due to how they matchup hunt from Luka and LeBron

  5. Thing is, Alpi is almost impossile to stop unles you have AD or giannis defending him. Normally in such a case shooters take the whell normally. As rockets lack elite shooters, they found this method to eleminate doubles on şengün or benefit those doubles. This could work in normal season but they still need an elite shooter who can defend if thay want to have any chance in playoffs.

  7. Yo Adam’s a lowkey superstar presence huh , he just a lovable down to earth big defensive problem. Just a day at work aye cuz

  8. Another great video 🙏 it’s great to see our man Steven Adam’s getting back into things and becoming a huge impact in this diverse team. Mad love from New Zealand 🇳🇿

  9. They aren't leaning into it cause they are trying to hide it. Come playoffs this will be used more. They just dont want people knowing it will be installed.

  10. The one problem I have with sengun, he misses too much, too many free throw misses, or easy layups, and especially threes

  11. Been saying for a few years that the first team to go against the current paradigm and have two genuine bigs that dominate down low will change the game back in a good way. Hopefully a team will find the right balance and combination soon.

  12. Love the video. Glad to see Adams utilised. And agree with not being able to wait to see how the Rockets translate over to the playoffs
