The Rockets just lost for the third time in four games last night, and I think it's time to start worrying about whether this team is a first-round exit.
In that time, KD just hasn't been the same. He had only 11 points on 5-of-8 shooting in the 36-point loss to the Nuggets, 18 points on 8-of-16 shooting in Monday's loss to the Lakers and 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting in last night's loss to the Lakers. Amen, Jabari, Sengun, Tari and Reed all took more attempts than Kevin Durant last night, which is not Houston's recipe for success.
This is really discouraging, especially with the season nearing its end.
