They don't work well because Reed Sheppard can't stay in front of anyone

Even when you get blown by, if you have some length you can find ways to recoup.

In his case, once a guy has a step on him he has zero ability to close on.

Houston started a lineup yesterday that was 4 6’11” guys and a 6’7” Amen Thompson.

This cracked me up because some of these stats these nerds push are whatever. I like Reed as a player but last night was very ugly.

Yes, it's an anomaly. I'm also not so sure it's the tallest starting lineup ever like the media is saying.

I don't see how it really fits into Sheppard not being able to stay in front of people because he plays for the Rockets. That giant lineup should be able to cover for him being a defensive liability.
