FAILURE TO LAUNCH
After two straight terrible losses to the Thunder and the Kings, Rockets head coach Stephen Silas buried the team's lack of effort during his post game press conference.
My question: where was this fire and brimstone earlier in the season? And if he's changing his coaching approach now, how will players take it? Will they find it authentic? You've got plenty of time left this season. It should be used to develop this team.
With good coaching or bad coaching, they're a lock for one of the worst 3 records in basketball and a 14% chance at the # 1 overall pick and potential superstar with Victor Wembanyana.

Eric Murray returned one of Justin Herbert's career-high four interceptions for a touchdown, C.J. Stroud threw a TD pass and the Houston Texans rolled past the Los Angeles Chargers 32-12 in a wild-card playoff game Saturday.

It’s the second straight year Stroud and the Texans (11-7) won in the first round after they beat Cleveland last season.
Herbert threw just three interceptions in the regular season and had never thrown more than two in a game before facing a Texans secondary led by AP All-Pro cornerback Derek Stingley, who had two INTs. Kamari Lassiter had the other pick.
The Chargers (11-7), who returned to the playoffs under first-year coach Jim Harbaugh, lost in the wild-card round for a second straight time after also losing in the 2022 season to remain without a postseason win since 2018.
Stroud threw for 282 yards with the touchdown pass to Nico Collins and an interception. Collins finished with seven catches for 122 yards. Joe Mixon ran for 106 yards and a score.
Herbert was 14 of 32 for 242 yards with a 40.9 passer rating.
