After the game, the Rockets coach angrily scolded the players for underestimating the enemy, suggesting that the team would consider adjusting the starting lineup
The Houston Rockets suffered a surprise loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, perhaps their most frustrating game of the season. Rockets coach Amy Udoka felt that tonight's performance was poor, and he was angry about it. It was clear that no amount of changes she made could get the team back on their feet.
After the game, Rockets coach Amy Udoka accused the players of being "naïve" and thought they could easily beat the Grizzlies, and they ended up being self-inflicted. In the meantime, Amy Udoka has become impatient with the fitness of some of the squad and has indicated that she will make changes to her starting list.
The Grizzlies don't have a better record than the Rockets, but that's largely due to their injuries and the fact that the Rockets are only one spot behind the Grizzlies. Amy Udoka believes that the Rockets are always too weak and that he needs to give them a moment to reflect and find the best path to develop and get more people involved in the rotation and the starters, and among those people, only those who are aggressive and competitive deserve to play.
Amy Udoka gave Jalen Green some playing opportunities in the game, saying he never worried about Jalen Green's attacking ability and he just wanted the team to field a few more guards. Of course, we all know that even if Jalen Green can't make sure to score efficiently, it's just because of the negative effects of being on the court for so long. Of course, this game is not all Jalen Green's problem, Amy Udoka also hopes to make the team more active, but the results are often unsatisfactory, except for two or three players in this game The Rockets played at the level they should have, and the rest of the team seemed a little absent-minded.
Also, Amy Udoka believes that starting point guard Fred VanVleet is injured due to the injury, which has caused a lot of damage to the Rockets, but it's not all of them who aren't performing as well as they should. Three years ago, the Rockets looked like they were on a downward spiral, which took a big toll on the team's spirit and desire to win. Even Amy Udoka and a new team are on the roster, and they can't bring the Rockets back to life in less than half the time. After the game against the Grizzlies, the Rockets are gearing up for their All-Star break, and they expect that after a period of rest, they can stay in good shape for the next half season.
