In two three-point games, 12-of-1, the Rockets shooter was beaten back to its original form and it was difficult to renew the contract, and the 4 main playing irons continued to slump
The Rockets lost to the Cavaliers by a big score, and in this game, many of the Rockets' main players were injured, and four players, Wood, Gordon, Jaylen Green and Porter Jr., could not get on, and the Rockets' starting lineup players performed badly. The Cavaliers' rebuild was undoubtedly a great success, with only Tate scoring in double figures among the Rockets' main players, and the others performing poorly. Matthews' form continued to be sluggish, with only one point on 1-of-6 three-pointers in the previous game, 0-of-6 on three points against the Cavaliers, and 1-of-12 in two games.
Matthews, the Rockets' outburst of the game during a winning streak, has gradually been beaten back to his original form, and his three-point decline has been very serious recently. Matthews is an absolute role player, which makes it very difficult for him to pick up the girder, and Matthews is targeted in the absence of multiple main players. As a result, he didn't have a lot of three-point opportunities, and the Rockets didn't have Matthews in their future plans. The team needs to make a free spot in the squad if they want to sign him.
Matthews will return to the bench after the return of Jaylen Green and Porter Jr., and it is not ruled out that they will return to the development league. The Rockets have been poor players in their last two games, with Augustine, Tess, Brooks and Matthews playing iron like crazy. Theis became the Rockets' "chicken rib" player, playing only when the team had no one available, and didn't play well against the Cavaliers' interior. Theiss is undoubtedly on the edge of the Rockets, and the Rockets will trade as long as the offer is right.
Brooks and Augustine, two main guards, were also bad, with Rockets leader Jaylen Green posting that he wanted to play. Obviously, the Rockets need Jaylen Green's comeback very much, and the large-scale injury has led to the Rockets' overall record play style of play. The Cavaliers played well on the inside this game, the main lineup is difficult to resist, the Rockets' next game will be back-to-back against the Knicks, the team is difficult to win.
The Rockets didn't have much of a non-selling roster, Matthews hadn't performed well in several consecutive games, and general manager Stone needed to consider how much of a contract he would have to give him. If the contract length and amount are not close, I am afraid it will be difficult to renew the contract, and the rocket's last two-way contract turned positive player is House, when the two sides renewed the contract has become a relatively big problem. Against the Cavaliers, the Rockets' offense inside and outside is a big problem. It's normal to lose without an offensive strong point, and the next game is crucial.
The chances of a team trying to rush the playoffs are very low, the team's trade will come, and the time has come to test General Manager Stone. The Rockets have not been very successful in the past few trades, and now the team's winning is not the key, mainly for the adjustment of the lineup. The team's goal is still to sign the champion, the Western Conference's penultimate team Pelicans rely on the kill to win, the Rockets are still ranked third from the bottom, but there is only one game of difference with the bottom thunder, which does not affect the team's rot.
