The Houston Rockets desperately needed a spark for the team as they’re meandering through the season with a 4-6 record. With just how this team conducts itself out on the court, it’s clearly obvious something is missing from this team, notwithstanding the losses of Trevor Ariza and Luc Mbah a Moute.
Although the loss of Mbah a Moute is not as defined because of his inability to stay healthy last season, a case can be made for Ariza’s. Although his skills were on the decline, he still was the catalyst to the team’s defensive prowess and it’s certainly showing at the moment.
