After going 15-2 in December, the Rockets are hovering over the .500 mark (10-7 including Tuesday’s win over the Kings) in January.
The Houston Rockets have gone 4-7 in their last 11 games amid injuries to Eric Gordon, Ryan Anderson and Patrick Beverley.
“Injuries to Gordon and Beverley showed they’re a little scary thin on the wing,” Lowe said on his “Lowe Post Podcast” with FiveThirtyEight’s Chris Herring on Tuesday.
In that stretch, their defense has regressed to being among the worst in the league in most metrics, according to Marc Stein of ESPN.
The Dream Shake’s Darren Yuvan says the problem in the first month of 2017 is not only roster inconsistency or defensive effort, but also James Harden.
