WOW! The Rockets' head coach fiercely scolds Sengun! The starting point guard has 6 assists and 6 turnovers in two games.

After the Rockets missed a rebound, Udoka harshly criticized Sengun: "Are you even boxing out? What exactly are you doing?"

Nowadays, it's uncommon for a coach to openly reprimand a core player like that, which highlights Udoka's frustration and reveals the Rockets are not meeting expectations.

The Rockets narrowly lost 124-125 to the Thunder and 111-115 to the Pistons, suffering two straight opening defeats, currently sitting at the bottom of the Western Conference with a 0-2 record.

In these two games, the Rockets started Amen as the point guard, who posted 18 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 turnovers in one game, and 10 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 turnovers in the other... totaling 6 assists and 6 turnovers, clearly an unsatisfactory performance.

On the Rockets' bench, there is another point guard, Shepard, who scored 9 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists in one game, and 9 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist in the other, accumulating 5 assists overall.

Amen is primarily a defensive wing-guard, while Shepard is a shooter; making them play point guard feels like forcing a square peg into a round hole, so naturally, the results have been disappointing.

With VanVleet potentially out for the season due to an ACL tear, the Rockets might seriously consider trading for a reliable point guard.

Currently, the general consensus is that Eason is the most likely trade asset for the Rockets,After failing to reach an early contract extension, this player seems mentally unsettled, leading to a sharp decline in performance. So far this season, he averages 3.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2.5 turnovers per game, with shooting percentages of 27.3%, 20%, and 0% in three categories.
