Rockets lack killer instinct?

Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy has been preaching for almost a month that his team needs to develop a stronger finishing mentality.

He's hoping a recent turn of events will finally get his message to sink in.

Nearly 48 hours after allowing the Utah Jazz to rally past them in a pivotal game for home-court advantage, the Rockets expressed their desire to close out games better and learn from their recent run of late-game miscues heading into Wednesday's home date against the Golden State Warriors.

The Rockets have surrendered a trio of fourth-quarter leads in the past three games, sweating out a pair of wins in Los Angeles and dropping a game to the Jazz.

With the playoffs right around the corner, the Rockets are well aware that they need to do a better job of putting games away.

Re: Rockets lack killer instinct?

So why have the Rockets struggled to put teams away? Are they lacking a killer instinct?

Cool Re: Rockets lack killer instinct?

They're just not that good. And Jeff Van Phony is the most overrated coach in the league.
