After 10 games this season, with the talent the Houston Rockets have, the lack of practice time, injuries and adjustment to new faces can’t be used as excuses anymore. If you keep harping on what you don’t have, the season will be over before you know it.

The Rockets hit rock bottom after a 110-98 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night. Now might be the time to panic — yes, even though we’re only 10 games into the season. Last season, en route to a 56-win campaign, the Rockets didn’t lose three consecutive games until the Western Conference Finals. They’ve done that twice in the first three weeks of this season.
