The Houston Rockets roster just took a step in the right direction in the wake of their 4 consecutive losses which marks the team’s longest losing streak since January 2013. Immediately after the Boston Celtics defeat the team had a ‘players-only’ meeting to address the problems and issues that have resulted in their disappointing start of the season.
Kevin McHale’s team is currently the second to last team allowing more points off turnovers (20.5). In the game versus Boston (Monday), the Rockets conceded almost twice as many: 39.
Although easy to detect the team’s real problem: defense, it’s their lack of effort, energy and general indifference from the players in recent games that is drawing particular attention and ire from the fans.
