On November 9, Beijing time, with the Pelicans losing to the Lone Rangers, the record of this team that lacks Zion Williamson and Ingram has become 1 win and 10 losses, which means that the Houston Rockets, which temporarily won 1 win and 9 losses in 10 games, were once again "pushed" by the Pelicans to the 14th place in the West, and it seems that this season's championship battle is indeed very fierce.
The Rockets have swallowed an 8-game losing streak before this, and this 8-game losing streak is also the longest losing streak in the NBA's 30 teams this season, and it is not known who will break this record, or whether the Rockets will continue to rewrite the losing streak record. In short, the Rockets have been busy for an offseason, and after the draft, signing free agents, and renewing players, the record in the regular season may not be as good as last season, which really makes rocket owner Fertita look disgraced.
Silas's coaching position should be relatively stable, after all, the Goal of the Rockets is to spoil the situation, so Silas will continue to coach with the Rockets. But then again, if Silas still loses in the game without order and lack of tactics, the next step for the Rockets management may be to fire Silas. After all, the Rockets' game scene this season is too ugly, and the so-called core Jaylen Green and Porter Jr. have not played the level that people expect.
But then again, the Rockets' temporary poor performance also has a lot to do with their too scary schedule, in 10 games, only the first two games with the Timberwolves and Thunder are still easy, and the next 8 games are each team's playoff level strong team, and the Rockets' loss is also normal. Even the Rockets have caused trouble for the Lakers and Nuggets, and it is one of the few highlights to almost defeat these two strong teams.
Now that the Rockets have all returned to their home games in Houston, 2 days later, at 8:30 a.m. Beijing time on the 11th, the Rockets will meet the Pistons at home to challenge them. Now that the Pistons are 15th in the East (bottom) with a record of 1 win and 8 losses, Cunningham is not much better than Green, so the Rockets want to end the 8-game losing streak, and taking the Pistons to "open the knife" is the best choice.
Today, the Rockets' new assistant coach Gerald Green also posted a photo on his social media, Green took a picture of the rockets' home floor and the team's red "r" logo, Green stood in the rocket team's home court he is most familiar with, must be a lot of emotions - from a rockets substitute shooter, to the current rocket assistant coach, Gerald Green's identity has changed dramatically.
But the most important thing is how to help the Rockets win. After returning to the home court, the Rockets finally breathed a sigh of relief, not only the Rockets have home field advantage in the future, but also the strength of the next opponent, the Pistons, is not above the Rockets, if you want to end the losing streak, the Pistons are the best target for the Rockets. After the road trip, the Rockets needed a good win in front of the home audience.
