9. team. 169. . 8-5. Previous: 14th. Houston Rockets

With the exception of one of their losses, you can make the argument that the Rockets have only lost to teams better than them this season. The problem, of course, is that there’s that many teams better than them.

James Harden is going to make the headlines, because of the insane numbers that he’s going to post on a day-to-day basis. However, if this team doesn’t make a move before the NBA Trade Deadline, we should expect this team to be anything more than fun.

Watch the Rockets. You won’t get bored. Though, I’m not sure if they’re good enough to make much noise out West. But at least you’ll get a nice night out of them?
