Well, the Bucks and Warriors both have a better eFG% than the Rockets. And, they're both better defensive teams than the Rockets. To beat the best teams the Rockets are going to need to play much better on both ends of floor than the did tonight. For the Rockets I think it has to start on defense. Better defense=better offense for the Rockets.
15-50 from 3 and 36 percent from the field, won't get it done. Especially getting beaten on the boards 46-58.
The Rockets aren't a championship team. They rely on good shooting to win these kinds of games. That's how they beat the Raptors. Our bench is terrible now, and our rebounding sucks. Plus, they're too quick and long for our defense. It's a shame...
