Twelve of their defeats have come by double digits, they're last in the league in turnovers (18.9 per game) and they have the worst offense in the league. And the Rockets haven't just been losing this season. Two of them have come under Silas in the last calendar year, including a franchise-worst 20-game losing streak last season.Īny time you struggle that much, there are going to be questions about your ability to lead the team.
