The Houston Rockets lost a second game in a row on Thursday night, and head coach Ime Udoka was not happy about it.
Following the game, Udoka had nothing but harsh words for his team, according to a video shared by ClutchPoints.
In the video, Udoka said:
“All the things we’ve done to get a decent record have gone out of the window these last couple of games… A few guys really didn’t look like they showed up til after halftime.”
He then called Thursday’s match “one of our softest games since I’ve been here for sure.”

The Rockets just couldn’t keep up with the Golden State Warriors during Thursday’s game.
Although multiple players were in double digits, they didn’t have an answer for Golden State, especially Jonathan Kuminga, who scored 33 points.
The Warriors didn’t have Stephen Curry or Draymond Green, which led many Rockets fans to believe a victory would be achieved.
Instead, they fell 99-93.
That came just days after the Rockets were taken down by the Sacramento Kings, 120-111.
These were the first back-to-back losses for the Rockets all season and a sign that they could be slowing down after such a strong start to the year.
Udoka isn’t happy with what he saw, and he surely gave his team a very serious, intense chat after the game.
Will his words have an impact, and will we see the Rockets bounce back when they face the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday night?
All teams go through rough patches, so that isn’t abnormal.
Now it’s time to see how the Rockets handle this and what they do next.
