14. Houston Rockets (9-9)
Last week: 14
The Houston Rockets have won five of their last seven games and eight of their last 12 games overall during the month of November. The Rockets are beginning to look more and more like their old self, and it’s beginning to reflect that in the standings.
This team still doesn’t look entirely like the team that should’ve represented the Western Conference in the NBA Finals, but after the rough start that they had to the season, you can’t really complain about where this team is now.
They’re still a work in progress, and I’m not sure if this team will look as good as last season in April and May, but they’re getting better – and more comfortable with each other – every day.
