    Here's what I think are the problems based on what I haven't seen:

    - Defense at the free throw line
    - Assistant Coaching staff decision making
    - Lack of support from ex Rocket hall of fame players - Rudy T, what have you done for us lately???
    - After parties have had too much rich food

    You don't know me, that's 1. 2 is that even with those individual positives, as a team I don't think we did all that well. We struggled against 2 teams with legit defenses and that's a bad sign. CP3 is not healthy, Tucker is not a 100%, Black hasn't played, short rotations, too reliant on the 3, Harden's play, Ryno still meh, CP3's playing style so far, defense as a team in general. Not necessarily signs of a great pre-season.

    You forgot that the Rockets unguarded field goal % on defense was abysmal.

    It cost us big time.

    Okay, you didn’t get it, that’s fine. Regardless of that, bit judgmental and presumptuous no? Please don’t answer, you obviously spend much time here and feel important enough to call names.

    I believe the national anthem controversy directly caused the loss. It's fortunate that you included it as an option.

    Cause we didn't face any legit team and still lost 1.

    With essentially the same team as last year should be 5-0.

    And for God's sake, did you watch the games or just check stats?

    These past two games were horrible.

    What was that identity? The laughing stock of the NBA playoffs?

    I know right? It's a diagrace they lost to the lowly Spurs in a preseason game.
