But over the last 14 games, their offense has quietly fallen off a cliff. What looks like a slump is actually something more specific, and more dangerous. The Spurs showed the league the latest counter: put a center on Amen Thompson, ignore him on the perimeter, and let that big roam the paint. We saw Wembanyama do it, we saw Anthony Davis do it earlier, and the results are the same, Houston’s spacing collapses, driving lanes disappear, and Kevin Durant is forced into tougher and tougher shots. In this breakdown, I show you: How the Spurs flipped the matchup by switching Wemby onto Thompson Why Thompson’s lack of shooting gravity is shrinking the floor How Dallas started the blueprint with AD What Houston is trying to do to counter it, and why it’s only half-working Why the Rockets’ offense completely falls apart when KD sits The numbers back it up, Houston’s offensive rating has cratered, and playoff defenses are going to copy this adjustment unless the Rockets find a real counter. If you want to understand what’s really happening to Houston’s offense, and what teams will do to them in a seven-game series, this is one you don’t want to miss.
