D’Antoni and Morey do acknowledge a concern about how they’d fare defending, say, Lakers superstar Anthony Davis for a seven-game series. They also note that’s a concern for any team who faces the Lakers, regardless of size, so the Rockets will take their chances forcing tall stars such as Davis and Denver’s Nikola Jokic to defend 3-point shooters on the other end. “A lot of people have guarded [Davis]. It hasn’t worked,” D’Antoni said with a laugh. “I don’t care who guards him. He’s still going to be Anthony Davis. We’re not going to all of a sudden turn him into a pedestrian player.”
