Can Rockets turn their season with small ball strategy?

We have got a sample of 1 game. I think they will do better now than they were doing before because Capela was over-hyped and Covington is an actually good defensive player. But is it going to give the Rockets a chance to win it all? I don't think so. One of the games they don't shoot well they will probably have very little chance. Although Brodie and Harden can attack the rim well, the team is still totally dependent on hitting 3s and in playoff series you get better defence from your opposition and your 3s die.

I do believe Rockets will likely finish in top 4 in western conference but they won't make it past 2nd round.
