It was a depressing Game 3 for the Houston Rockets. It showed them just how far they are from fielding a contending offense, and they saw their lack of experience once again cost them a winnable game against the veteran Golden State Warriors.

We can talk about all the issues again or start to discuss the sky falling because Jimmy Butler III is probable to return tonight. At the end of the day, Houston just doesn’t have the offensive personnel to hang with a competent offense. They need Alperen Sengun, Jalen Green, and Amen Thompson to play really well on both ends to even have a shot. Expecting them to pull off the trick three times in the next four games feels unfair.
