The Houston Rockets keep losing games they really, really shouldn't lose. After falling to the 7-22 Sacramento Kings on Sunday and the 8-21 Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday, the Rockets now have losses to the Kings, Clippers, Pelicans, Mavericks, and Jazz this month.
Why do they keep doing this?
I don't know the answer to that, and I doubt the Rockets themselves know, either. Each time before it happens, I tell myself, "Well, they can't be unprepared for this one, surely," And then that ages poorly immediately.
The strangest part? From a distance, it doesn't look like the Rockets play that much worse in losses.
