We were already in a tough spot, but losing a game against a direct rival when they were 13 points up with 3 minutes left is the final blow to a project showing clear signs of collapse. Kevin Durant is not enough to sustain a team with many issues.

While it's true that we can't fault the veteran player for his performance, it's important to note the impact his recent behavior may have had on team chemistry that is evidently affecting this rough period for the Houston Rockets. The lack of a point guard remains an unsolvable issue, resulting in a complete jam in offense and a lack of defensive discipline.

Having vigorous, strong, and tall players isn't enough to build a good team, and this is becoming evident. There's a lack of threat from outside shooting, no playmaking, no one providing attacking insight, Sengun and Durant's levels are dropping due to accumulated fatigue and tight defenses targeting them, and the supporting cast is not delivering. They seem destined for the sixth spot, which would pit them against the Lakers in the first round, appearing much inferior to the Angelenos now. Houston Rockets have a problem.
