Why are the Rockets Struggling this Season? (In no particular order)

  1. The Stars - Not playing to their potential

  2. Injuries - We have had a few untimely absences

  3. Role Players - Not hitting shots, not executing their roles well enough

  4. Head Coaching - The league has caught up to MDA's system and he needs to adjust

  5. Defense/D-coach - Jeff Bzd's absence messed with our defensive mindset

  6. Melo - His presence created distraction and "bad juju"

  7. Morey -His offseason moves did not properly replace Ariza and Luc

  8. Hangover Effect - Devastating WCF loss last year still hanging over us

  9. Referees/New Rules - New rules are hurting our style of play

  10. Other - Please elaborate.

    Oddly it's our offense and I think that we are just missing a piece or two in terms of role players and I think Chris Paul isn't 100%

    The system the system the system! Why on earth would mda and the team not think that the league would catch up to the style of play? Everyone in the arena knows the rockets don’t want mid range shots unless they are iso harden or cp3. Makes it super easy to gameplan against unless the rockets smack a load of threes every night.

    It’s not that Ariza was so amazing, it’s just that it doesn’t help that a great defender was lost.

    Mda needs to come up with something new offensively or be moved.

    They suck in every facet of the game.

    That’s why they’re struggling.

    im not sure if its age with CP, or is it he is not 100% but cant take proper time to heal because of how thin the roster is. maybe a bit of both

    This is the worst Rocket team in their history. Fire Morey, all coaches, give Cp3 away for free. Have a complete turnover of players and tank. This season is over. Forget about Rockets this yesr and watch the Texans in the playoffs.

    Nearly impossible to recover from that.
