Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni says his team "plays like shit"

Coach Mike D & # 39; Antoni does not say what the Rockets have done to start the season.

"Right now we are playing like shit," said Antoni, according to Tim MacMahon of ESP.com. "We just do not play well, you know, I do not have many answers for you now, we'll watch and we'll fight."

Houston dropped to 1-5 during the season after losing at home against the Trail Blazers 104-85 on Tuesday. This was the second consecutive game of the team without the MVP title James Harden, who had been dismissed by a sprained hock.

The Rockets have now suffered their fourth consecutive loss of the season and their third by at least 15 points. Last season, Houston had only three losses of 15 points or more for the entire season, beating the league record of 65-17.

"We have lost our courage and we are on our heels," said Antoni.

Although October was not a good time for his team, D'Antoni also said that he had not lost confidence in his team after the mediocre start, adding: "I think we're still in the game, "the team still counts 76 games play this season.

The Rockets are currently in 26th place in the championship with 105.8 points per game and 29th with a goal percentage of 41.2%. The 84 points scored on Tuesday were less important than in last year's regular season games, aside from the season finale where many of their key players sat down.

Houston's next game will be Friday against the Nets. The team is looking to separate from the Cavaliers, Wizards and Suns, the only other teams to win just one win to date.
