The Houston Rockets have worked their way up to the second spot in the Western Conference with a 15-8 record.
On Thursday night, they lost to the Golden State Warriors, and that defeat has some people saying changes need to be made.
Certain fans think the Rockets are close to perfect but need a little tweak or two to really reach their potential.
But speaking on “Run It Back,” Lou Williams said the team doesn’t need to make any changes and should be patient instead.
He said Houston should “go out and get Giannis or somebody like that, by all means,” if they can, but thinks the Rockets should just work with the team they have now.

The Rockets are definitely doing better than many people expected, but there is no doubt they have a lack of postseason experience.
That could hurt them in the months ahead, especially as they take on teams such as the Warriors again.
For some, that means the Rockets need to add more talent, specifically seasoned vets who have played for a long time.
But Williams believes in the roster that currently exists and thinks they already have something special.
Obviously, they would leap at the chance to sign someone like Giannis Antetokounmpo, who could do great things for the team.
But they shouldn’t be looking for success through other players and need to foster the strong core they have now, Williams believes.
The Rockets have every reason to be confident, and now they just need to be patient.
