Defeating the Raptors is like a blind cat encountering a dead mouse. Look, the Thunder hit another one, but what about the Rockets?

The Rockets played against the Raptors at home. Before the game, all experts predicted that the Rockets would rebound and win two consecutive games. However, the dream is ideal, but the reality is very skinny. The Rockets also suffered a lot against the Raptors' forward group. Although the Rockets defeated the Raptors in the end, anyone with a discerning eye knows that they still rely on the aging Durant. Of course, Jabari Smith Jr.'s performance today is crucial, but the Rockets still haven't played the way we wanted to see. As Adams said, young people should stand up!

The Rockets have played in the past four games. Amen Thompson is currently 0 of 10 three-pointers. We don’t know what he has practiced during the off-season. Look at the Thunder's second-year rookie Mitchell's average of 10+5+5 per game in the new season. The Thunder have someone who can stand up every year, but what about the Rockets? Jaylen Green didn't play well, and Amen Thompson still seems to have made little progress this season. The Rockets now feel like they won't train new players. To be honest, both Jaylen Green and Amen Thompson, including Jabari Smith Jr., are top talents in the league, but they have been unable to realize them in the Rockets.

For a team like the Rockets, the greater their hopes, the greater their disappointment. Maybe for us, we just stubbornly miss the Rockets during the Yao Ming era and hope that they can complete their dream of not winning the championship.
