Tonight’s Rockets offense could be described in a number of ways: dismal, terrible, bad, wretched, horrendous, embarrassing.
That would be unfair, for it to be those things, it would have to exist.
Right now, the Rockets have a putative NBA offense that struggled to break 80 points against an indifferent Memphis Grizzlies starting unit (and fired up bench).
The Rockets starting lineup scored 35 points. Total.
The Grizzly bench scored 85 points. The Houston Rockets scored 84 points. The Memphis bench outscored the entire Rockets team. The Memphis Grizzly bench doubled the scoring output of the Rockets starters.
