The Houston Rockets have struggled so far this season. The defense and Carmelo Anthony have received most of the blame for the horrid start. However, Eric Gordon has not produced to his standards and it has hurt the Rockets tremendously.
So far this season the Rockets have not played one game at 100%. The Rockets started the season without Nene Hilario, Marquese Chriss, Isaiah Hartenstein, and Zhou Qi so, all of their bigs besides Clint Capela.
Then just two games in they lost Chris Paul to a suspension when Paul got into a late game fight with Rajpn Rondo and Brandon Ingram after Rondo spit in Paul’s face.
