The Rockets did not get the results they were looking for in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Warriors. They need to make some adjustments before Game 2 and one of those should be limiting the iso-ball. Mike D'Antoni needs to get more players involved in the offense, and that can also lead to guys playing better on the defensive end of the court as well. Also, if the Rockets truly are the deeper team, they have to get more out of their role players. Those guys are going to struggle to do anything if they never touch the ball. Finally, the Rockets need to shake some things up on defense and give the Warriors some different looks.

How locker room distractions could be playing a factor in Astros performance

The Houston Astros are coming off a big win over the Orioles and hopefully things are getting back on track as the club makes their final push for the playoffs with only nine games left.

While we're all excited about the latest walk-off win, we can't ignore the fact that the team has dropped three straight series. Two of which were against the two worst teams in baseball (the Royals and A's).

We've all heard the reports about Chas McCormick's playing time, the batter's eye in center field causing the Astros to struggle, and three team meetings over the past month.

With that in mind, are these distractions a factor in how the team is performing on the field?

Be sure to watch the video as we break it all down.
