The Old School Offense Bullying Today’s NBA
The Houston Rockets have one of the most interesting offenses in the NBA. They have no shooting, but have been able to create tons of space in other ways. We go over how they’ve been able to do that and why they are the best offense in the NBA.

I want you to break Nuggets defense down bc they are really good with Joker and JV,THT.Their defense looks a little bit unique.
"isn't exactly rocket science" – appreciate the pun
They are changing the game man, and we are again witnessing this. idk what the meta will be in next few years but it's gonna be fun. I kinda like all teams adapting different strategies and having different strengths and weaknesses kinda likea pokemon battle.
I guess we could say it happens rn too but this is just enhancing it even further
wont work in playoffs
How does this pan out against a team like the warriors going small ball
only works because they have sengun who's a 3 level scorer and an exceptional passer
Yikes, nba is hard to watch.
Tari Eason shooting 3's at 53%, Reed at 50%, Okogie at 46%, Sengun at 42%… I don't know where you get that this year's Rockets are not a good shooting team. Only Amen and Steven are bad shooters in the rotation.
nice interview man
The rockets are playing overseas basketball, team play entirely on the offense but they’ll pick at the mix match and still throw some isos aswell it’s good overall team basketball
KD finally understood go to a team that compliments him. Rockets allow KD to be an elite scorer w/o worrying about much else.
B4 he kept tryna pair up with elite scorers. Thats what LeBron needed not him
calling josh okoge a non-shooter is kinda crazy, maybe his first few seasons but he's a nice guard 3 & d now
this video made me think maybe russ would have been a good fit regardless of his shooting ability, anyone have any thoughts on this?
its crazy this offence is essentially the exact opposite of the morey rockets offence
I hate that every Sengun's move is an elbow to the face or the body
This is giving 2005-2009 San Antonio Spurs without a Tony Parker vibes.
Daniel my guy, please please can you make a Cooper Flagg video? I really want your take on him please brother
“The way the Rockets are getting offensive rebounds isn’t exactly Rocket science”… I see what you did there. 😂
The main reason the “old school offense” is working is that almost the entire team is shooting way over their head from 3 btw. Sengun at 42%, Okogie at 47%, tari at 53%, reed (yes he is a great shooter) at 50%. This is incredibly fake and Ime does not deserve that much praise for it. The offensive rebounding is super neat but genuinely this is mostly shooting luck.
Reminds me of the grit and grind grizzlies. In fact conley, Allen, gay, randolph, and gasol mirrors vavnleet(injured),Thompson, kd, sengun, Adams in roles
ALPEREN SENGUN
Even this “old school offense “ is modernized
If I had a nickel for every time I had an Asian American YouTube coach named Daniel teach me about the intricacies of the macro game of basketball… I'd have 2 nickels…
Welcome back russell Westbrook
You make it look so simple.
Sometimes I forget Amen is only on his 3rd season because he's playing like a 5+ year player
What's great about Rockets' new style is it can very well work in playoffs too.
This won’t be viable in the the playoffs
