Colin Cowherd: “The Rockets can’t win a playoff series. Here’s the problem: They Can’t Shoot. Since January 1st, they’re the fourth worst shooting team in the league. They’re also sub .500 in their last 15 games; and that's with the best scorer in the league. They also have the second worst rebounding differential in the NBA. So, I got 'small', weird fit, not playing well, and not shooting well -- that’s not a good team.” (Full Video Above)
Listen to Colin Cowherd explain why he doesn’t believe in the Houston Rockets whatsoever, in a segment where Colin predicted the playoff future of every NBA contender.
Not only does Colin not see the Rockets winning the Western Conference for the first time since 1995, but he doesn’t see Houston winning a single playoff series either, as the 34-20 Rockets sit in fifth place in the conference, with the no. 4 seeded Utah Jazz as their first round opponent if the season ended today.
Colin has never been on the Rockets bandwagon since their acquisition of former Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Russell Westbrook, saying after the trade they would never win a championship with Westbrook, and then saying last week that the Rockets already deeply regretted making the move.
