What's going on in the Rockets' locker room seems to be particularly clear to anyone but the Rockets' internal players and coaches. However, from some reports, we can also roughly guess the general situation of the event, specifically, Rockets coach Silas and assistant coach Lucas, after halftime, believe that the Rockets players did not play hard enough, as the core of the team Porter Jr. and Christian Wood are very dissatisfied with this statement, after all, as the core of the tactics, the two are particularly sensitive to this kind of words. As a direct result, Little Potter got angry at old Lucas and even threw something.
Wood, not to mention, was already dissatisfied with the substitute appearances, and was criticized in midfield, and simply stopped playing in the second half. To know that the Rockets' Harden, Westbrook and Paul did not dare to say anything unpleasant to the old Lucas, the 21-year-old Little Potter is actually not even a star, at best it can only be a 2-rate point guard, and the Rockets "rescued" him from the Cavaliers when he was in the most dangerous time, the old Lucas really did not bother for little Porter, and in the end he ended up being thrown something, which really made the coaches chill.
The Rockets' infighting has already occurred, and the penalties will follow. But for the Rockets, this infighting does not seem to be a bad thing, although in the short term, this matter has a great and bad impact on the Rockets, but in the long run, Porter Jr. and Wood's approach has directly made the Rockets management firm in the future team building plan. Potter and Wood are not very capable, but their temper is even hotter than that of superstars, and the Rockets really can't keep them.
If possible, the Rockets could trade the duo away at any time. Don't be afraid that the Rockets have no new talent training, Jaylen Green's performance in the last 4 games can be called a quasi-All-Star level, Shen Jing, Christopher is also very hard in the game, even the European big forward Garruba, is also grasping every minute of the appearance to try to perform. Don't forget, the Rockets also have 26-year-old small forward Tate, who is also one of the core of the Rockets' future forward. Green, Tate, Christopher and Shin Kyung will basically be the most important core of the Rockets' future.
Coupled with Martin Jr., Matthews, Gordon, Theis, Brooks, a few role players, this lineup, while not very strong, is definitely promising, especially the Rockets can get a super rookie next summer to help Jaylen Green. Wood and Porter Jr. are no longer worth cultivating, which directly makes the Rockets change from "undecided" to directly abandon the two, the two of them have no cultivation value, for a player who does not respect the team's coach, even if it is a good game, the Rockets can no longer reuse him. In fact, even other teams do not dare to use such players.
Potter Jr. and Wood are in such a fight, not only makes it very likely that the Rockets will quickly dispose of the two of them, but also very likely for the Rockets to cultivate Green, Shinkin and Christopher as the core of the future. The Rockets had always wanted to wait to see what height Potter and Wood Jr. could reach, and after this incident, the Rockets' final illusions were directly shattered. I believe that Fertita should also wake up, Porter Jr. and Wood are no longer a member of the Rockets' future plans, and only by vigorously cultivating rookies and then picking a high-ranking rookie next summer can the Rockets' rebuilding proceed normally.
