The Houston Rockets are quite literally below average. They’re supposed to be in the higher echelon of the Western Conference. But at the moment they’re currently trying to get back above .500.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are more watchable at the moment. Would you have said that a year ago? Under JB Bickerstaff, the Rockets are just above 500 but you can tell that he isn’t enjoying being the interim head coach. All year he has publicly ripped his team and today is no different as he calls the Rockets a ‘Broken Team’.
“We’re broken,” Bickerstaff said. “It’s that simple. We’re a broken team, and we all need to use this break to figure out how we’re going to impact change. If we don’t want to impact change, then we need to be made aware of that, too, and we’ll go in a different direction.
“We can’t continue to go out and play this way. It’s easy to see it’s a fragmented bunch. You can’t win that way.“
But don’t worry guys. Daryl Morey is to the rescue.
“We’re obviously not playing at a level we need to be,” Morey said. “We will keep battling until we are.“
Oh, guess not. I find it interesting when GM’s say that ‘we’ll keep battling’, so you mean that you’re not going to do anything. The players are battling, the coach is battling, you’re a GM, if you aren’t finding ways to make the team better what are you doing exactly?
