The Rockets’ last win was on February 4. Since that evening in Memphis, where Christian Wood injured his ankle, the Houston players have been living a long descent into hell with now thirteen defeats in a row!
In such a bad patch, the cut always comes too late, but Stephen Silas’ men will finally be able to breathe for a while. While waiting for better days that the coach already announces.
“It’s encouraging to know that when you’re healthy with a full squad, you’ll be fine. I’m convinced “, he warns the Houston Chronicle. “This losing streak is always there, in front of me, and I can never stop thinking about it, to try to do better. The All-Star station wagon doesn’t allow you to forget these setbacks, they are there and I want to find a solution to this problem. It is obvious that health will help us. “
The return of Christian Wood will of course be capital to find a better level of collective play. We must also hope for the Texans that Eric Gordon and Danuel House Jr. will also be less embarrassed by their knee, and that the duo John Wall – Victor Oladipo will be able to have more common minutes on the floor (the trio Christian Wood, John Wall and Victor Oladipo, for example, only evolved together for 53 minutes…).
“We will know what we have in the stomach when the group is complete”
It is this set of elements that keeps the former Wizards playmaker optimistic.
“When we are in good health, we will know the type of team we can become”, he announces. “Without physical glitches, we have a lot of weapons. But we need to spend more time together. We can, I hope, come back after this series of thirteen defeats. We hear the media noise, the comments, but we remain united. During this break, we have to look at ourselves in the mirror and tell ourselves that we can do better. “
The “extra small ball” bet did not work, the Rockets showed big gaps in defense and their outside address has too often been down. Besides the absentees, which weighed on the performance, the shortcomings were all the same obvious and Victor Oladipo is aware that this team must and can react.
“We will know what we have in the stomach when the group is complete. It will be very interesting to see that. We shot each other in the foot, but we all have things to prove. We are motivated for the future. “
