Rockets on their match today is a little shaky because they are just following the rythm of Kings. They don’t have a good defense on first half. They just awaken on the 4th quarter when it’s already too late but nice game to watch.
To be fair Fred Vanvleet was missing, and that looked like the biggest difference maker for Rockets. While I know he is not the top scorer for the team, he is definitely a good playmaker and spreads the floor very well too, so losing him definitely hurt their chances and that's why they didn't win. Obviously they didn't suck or played terrible, if they started the game a bit better then they would have been better, but defensively they weren't that great neither, 132 points isn't good, it looks alright because they scored 127 compared to that, but they should have better defense at least.
I can see them getting better without a doubt, we are talking about a huge deal here and because of that I am not really seeing how things could change with one game, they will be fine and will be in playoffs and they will probably do alright. They don't have any playoff experience with this squad, so it is going to be fun for them to have a better squad without a doubt.
