Rockets' Defense Gambit Backfires | Houston Rockets News

The Houston Rockets gambled big last offseason by trading for Kevin Durant, but got crushed in the first round. This year, they’re trying to reload with Tari Eason, Marcus Smart, and Bogdan Bogdanovic — aiming to fix perimeter defense and scoring. But they also shipped out key wing defenders like Josh Okogie, Jae’Sean Tate, and Dorian Finney-Smith, leaving them vulnerable against elite offenses. With Alperen Sengun and Reed Sheppard already defensive liabilities, and Durant’s injury history making him a risky defensive anchor, the Rockets may be setting themselves up for a tough season — especially in a West loaded with length and firepower. It’s a high-stakes gamble with serious defensive risks.
