That&#8217;s why Houston sits at No. 28 in Sports Illustrated&#8217;s Power Rankings this week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After a five-game losing streak the day after Christmas, the Rockets finished 22 years with another four-game skid with two road losses to Boston and Dallas before losing twice at home to New York and the Mavs.&#8221; SI wrote. &#8220;Jaylen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. played well despite failing to score a win.&#8221; <\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<p>The lack of wins was likely due to a misguided structure within the group, and we&#8217;ve seen coach Steven Cyrus receive a lot of criticism. Wins and losses matter in the NBA, and the Rockets continue to fall short in that category.<\/p>\n<p>The Rockets hope to turn things around this week against the New Orleans Pelicans (Wednesday), the Utah Jazz (Thursday) and the Minnesota Timberwolves (Sunday) to end their losing streak.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<hr class=\"mm-horizontal-rule mm-horizontal-rule--hr1\"\/>\n<p><strong><em>You can follow Jeremy Brenner on Twitter <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JeremyBrener\" onclick=\"return phoenixTrackClickEvent(this, event);\" target=\"_blank\">@Jeremy Brenner<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Want the latest news and insider info on the Houston Rockets? <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>click here<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Follow Inside the Rockets<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>    facebook here<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Follow Inside the Rockets <\/em><\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/InsideRocketsFN\" onclick=\"return phoenixTrackClickEvent(this, event);\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><em>on Twitter @InsideRocketsFN<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Want more Houston Rockets news?
