How Wemby's ONE Adjustment Broke Houston's Entire Offense

Description
I love breaking down defensive adjustments that completely neutralize an offense, and Wemby's positioning on Amen Thompson is a masterclass. By camping off Thompson and ignoring him entirely, Wemby turns Houston's horn-flare sets into broken plays. The Rockets' offense becomes predictable when they can't utilize their athletic advantages.
What's fascinating is how this one adjustment cascades through their entire system. Thompson starts screening randomly, getting in his teammates' way instead of creating advantages. The perimeter defenders can switch everything because Wemby has the paint locked down.
The real killer? Houston's offensive rating plummets to embarrassing levels during Durant's bench minutes. They desperately need a true floor general who can recognize these defensive schemes and counter them. Right now, they're just hoping individual talent can overcome systematic breakdowns.
