Rockets faltering as season winds down
Club loses five straight; Chaney seeks consistency in team play
HOUSTOin (AP) — The veneer is
starting to come off of Coach Don
Chaney’s smile as his Houston Rock
ets continue their lurch toward the
NBA playoffs.
“At this time of the year you
usually don’t feel the need to make
adjustments, but we’re still making
adjustments,” Chaney said. “I
thought maybe we’d be more consis
tent as far as rotation, substitution
and play.”
The Rockets limped home Mon
day night after a 1-4 road trip that
was supposed to show the team’s
progress as the playoffs draw
nearer.
The Rockets won the road opener
against the Dallas Mavericks, who
were still adjusting to the loss of
Mark Aguirre.
Then came four straight losses,
ending in a 121-105 drubbing Sun
day night at Milwaukee.
at home you have to play to win. We
didn’t play to win.”
The normally affable Chaney has
reached the testy stage as the Rock
ets prepare to go back on the road
for three of their next four games.
Asked what he told the team after
the Bullets loss, Chaney snapped,
“What I told the team after the game
is between the team and myself.”
The Rockets were flat from the
start and despite a fourth quarter
spurt, led only briefly in the game.
all season, trying to fit off-season ac
quisitions into the rotation, the most
recent being Walter Berrv
The adjustments are distracting,
but necessary, Chaney said.
“We’ve had a ‘positive wrench’
thrown in with the addition of Wal
ter,” Chaney said. “Now we have to
work him into the rotation.”
“Just because you’re at home, no
body is going to give you the game,”
Rockets center Akeem Olajuwon
said. “You have to earn it.”
Only five Rockets from last year’s
roster remain with the team.
The Rockets have been adjusting
The Rockets’ 9-17 road record
isn’t the only problem, Chaney said.
Only three teams in the league have
winning road records.
“Everybody has problems, we had
our problems on the road,” Chaney
said. “I feel we are still a competitive
team. We have to become a better
road team in the playoffs.”
The Rockets’ road woes wen
magnified by a 114-111 loss to tin

“We’re hurting ourselves in snia[

we were blown out every game

thing.”
Then the Rockets came home ant

“The game was lost in the fits

Chaney had hoped playing in the
Summit Monday night against
Washington would give the Rockets
a much-needed new start.
Instead, the Rockets scored a sea
son-low 15 first-quarter points and
allowed the Bullets a 104-98 victory
without injured leading scorer Jeff
Malone.
Chaney was upbeat before the
game, distraught afterward.
“The game speaks for itself, we
came out in the first half in another
world,” Chaney said. “When you’re
