Losing to the Heat, the Rockets once again swallowed 6 consecutive losses, although it is completely expected that the Rockets will play such a result, but it has to be said that the Rockets manager has had a big problem in the use of personnel during this time.
After 7 consecutive wins, the Rockets only achieved 2 wins and 10 losses in 12 games, and the biggest problem with the Rockets during this time was on the defensive end, compared to the 7 consecutive wins, the team's offense declined slightly, but the offensive efficiency was still more than 110 points, ranking at the level of the upper middle and upper reaches of the league, but compared with the team's defensive efficiency, the Rockets' defense directly fell from the midstream to the bottom position, and the rockets lost an average of 122 points per game in the past 12 games, and the performance was quite bad.
The main reason for the decline in the Rockets defense is the employment problem of Silas, in the past period of time, Brooks has been the core rotation of Cyrus' hands, and his average playing time is even more than 25 minutes per game, but Brooks has not helped the team much at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. So far, he has played in 31 games for the Rockets, averaging 7.2 points, 2 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, including 36.7% from the field and 32.2% from three-point range. If it were to be placed in other teams, I am afraid that he would not even have the opportunity to play, but Silas often gave him more than 20 minutes of time, and even more infuriatingly allowed him to shoot blindly on the field.
As we all know, Brooks's biggest feature is that he can shoot three-pointers on the outside, but he is better at catching the ball in the open position, but in the past few games, it can be found that Brooks is often dribbling and shooting three-pointers, which is obviously not good at him, in the past 9 games, he has shot a total of 66 three-point shots, but only hit 19 times, hitting only a dismal 28.8%. His offense not only did not help the team, but also the defense was a drag, so far this season his defensive efficiency is 111, in the whole team is also ranked at the bottom level, his poor defense is mainly because of his lack of height, his body is too thin, on the field is basically the opponent's point of purpose, so for Silas, Brooks should be abandoned in the case of no help to the team's attack, rather than giving him such a long time to play every game.
You know, the Rockets still have a first-round show to train, this season the Rockets' Green, Shinkin, Christopher almost proved their potential, but the team's No. 23 show Garuba was hidden by the snow, which is unfair to him. Garuba was selected by the Rockets to take a fancy to his defense, has an excellent height arm span, can change defenses indefinitely, can play small ball center, his draft template is also seen as a dream green, although there are some shortcomings on the offensive end, but his potential is huge, Silas should not waste this superior talent and give time to role players like Brooks. Looking at the current situation, not only did the team not win, the rookies in the team did not develop, and Garuba also complained about the coaching staff, Silas really should not have made such a stupid decision.
