With the new year officially upon us, the Houston Rockets have had a pretty good season so far. The Rockets are currently 23-11 which is good for fourth-place in the Western Conference.

The Rockets have shown themselves to be a contender, which is reassuring and also encouraging. This season presents the Rockets’ best opportunity for a championship in recent memory, due to the parity in the NBA. But the Rockets have had a few things that have come up recently that are quite concerning.
