The Houston Rockets faced a tough loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder, exposing significant challenges in their offensive strategy. The team struggles with consistent scoring, particularly from their guards, making it difficult to compete with the NBA's elite.
Despite a promising start, the Rockets' performance has been hindered by poor shooting percentages, especially from three-point range. Key players like Jalen Green and Fred VanVleet have not been able to deliver the scoring needed to elevate the team.
Without a star perimeter scorer, the Rockets are at a disadvantage compared to top teams. The front office's reluctance to trade valuable young players limits their options for improvement this season. The team must rely on internal development to enhance their scoring capabilities.
