Houston is just a horrible matchup for Rudy. Even when they had Capella he always struggled against them, he had the worst plus/minus on the team against them in the playoffs each of the last two seasons. They're an even tougher matchup for him now that they play so small.
we no longer have the small ball 5 in Crowder or low post threat in Favs to punish Hou for playing small. their small ball lineup will neutralize Rudy's D every time and rudy cannot punish them or anyone on offense. so ironic enough, despite getting gentlemen swept by them two years in a row, this year's Hou will be an even tougher matchup for us.
