Today’s Houston Rockets can be said to have been pushed down by everyone. First of all, Westbrook left. He did not find the role he wanted in the Rockets. In fact, in the past five years, Westbrook has been the third second-in-charge. Howard to Paul and then to him, failed to prove himself in this team. Westbrook’s decision was just an introduction, followed by Tucker, the 35-year-old veteran who worked hard and has not missed a game in the past three seasons, but the Rockets have been vague about his contract extension, which made Tucker feel insulted. .
House and Gordon also expressed their dissatisfaction. Harden dominates the offense. They have their own ideas about their role on the offensive end, especially House. He even played against D'Antoni and Harden in the game against the Eagles. Westbrook has a dispute. D'Antoni has left, leaving a mess, but James Harden is still the leader of this team, and many players have questioned Harden's leadership ability.
Little Rivers was also dissatisfied with Harden. In a game, Harden missed a free throw from the free throw line, and then roared at the little Rivers next to the bench, thinking that Little Rivers interfered with him. As a team leader, even if your teammates really interfere with your free throws, you cannot treat your teammates in this way.
has to say that Harden still has a long way to go on the road of leadership. This is why Chris Paul would say: Some people are born for critical moments, and some people escape.
Even the former Rockets player Ariza is very dissatisfied with the culture of the Rockets. Because of salary and respect issues, Ariza chose to leave the Rockets, and then the Rockets tried to bring Ariza back, but Ariza believed that the Rockets did not give him an apology, so Rejected the Rockets' invitation.

trading Capela is still one of the wrong decisions made by the Rockets. What made the Rockets old and current players even more dissatisfied was the seventh game of the 2018 Western Conference Finals. That was the closest the Houston Rockets came to a championship. The Rockets, which were once the leader at the time, missed 27 consecutive three-pointers and did not adjust or integrate any other offensive strategies. They finally lost to the Golden State Warriors.
This should be the Rockets' most regrettable game in the past ten years, none of them.
Westbrook’s departure, Gordon and Tucker and House’s complaints, Rivers’ grievances, Ariza’s delayed apology, and of course, Carmelo Anthony’s nearly end of career are all enough. Let the fans recognize what kind of team the Houston Rockets are.
This is no longer the Rockets from Yao Mai era.
Yes, it's not anymore.
