The Houston Rockets, so far this season, pretty much just play on offense. Whether they’ve said it or not, their scheme is to simply outscore their opponents. It’s worked more often than not this year, too, so the team is starting to get some credit from pundits. One power ranking this past week even had the team ranked as high as fourth best in the league.
The Rocket who’s gotten the most praise is James Harden, and for good reason. The Beard is having one of the best individual seasons in league history.
