The Houston Rockets lost to the Washington Wizards after yet another game filled with complaints about the officiating. There’s plenty more to inform why the Rockets lost to a struggling Wizards team, including shoddy defense, a silly Dwight Howard ejection, and massive fatigue. It was another game that must leave a bitter taste in the mouths of the Rockets, and head coach JB Bickerstaff himself was spitting fire after the game. The Rockets have fallen back to .500 yet again, and there’s still no rhyme nor reason to this team.
I don’t have a lot of feelings about the fifth game in seven nights for the team, and the second game in as many days in which Dwight Howard got ejected on some very ill advised and honestly comical technical fouls, Clint Capela showed his inexperience, and a Houston player was called for tripping an opposing player they didn’t even touch.
