Well Rockets defense is stagnant so theyre basically trying to out score their opponents if the shots are not going in and their opponents shots ARE going in well then that spells a recipe for an L.
I think I'm going to start recording the relationship between "streak" threads and hard losses, these ones always seem to pop up this year right before the Rockets suffer a devastating loss. course, given the number of devastating losses the Rockets have suffered, this probably is a coincidence :/
