Thing is, I think as the playoffs have shown, playing like the Rockets will only get you so far. It's min/max analytic basketball taken to the extreme. I don't see a need to change it necessarily, because I think it can be countered, especially by not turning the ball over and giving up easy looks. I doubt the NBA feels a need to change it either, because everyone wants to see 3s and dunks. What they don't want to see is FTs, and that's the area where the league needs to be smarter, because I doubt anyone wants to see any player milking his way to the line for 15-20 attempts in a game. Let your stars miss contested shots without blowing a whistle, because defensive rebounds lead to highlight plays, but FT attempts don't.
