CP: Remember when the Rockets used P.J. Tucker as a human shield every night?

Hupu News, October 17 Today, the US media ClutchPoints updated the news and talked about the Rockets' lineup for the new season:

Do you still remember that the Rockets used PJ Tucker as a human shield every night?

The 6-foot-5 center goes up against giants in the ultimate small ball experiment in 2020👀

Fast forward to 2025, and adversity has catalyzed yet another transformation.

With Fred VanVleet out for the season and rookie Reed Shepard not yet ready to lead a championship team, the Rockets chose a big lineup.

Starting lineup:

🔸Amen Thompson (6-foot-7)

🔸Kevin Durant (6-foot-11)

🔸Jabari Smith Jr. (6-foot-11) inches)

🔸Alperon Shin-kyung (6'11")

🔸 Steven Adams (6'11")

Four nearly seven-footers competing against an athletic geek.

Although this move is bold, playing it safe is not an option in the face of the threat from the defending champion Thunder.

From "small ball tactics" to "full-height lineup", Houston may be rewriting the rules of the game again🚀
