Now that’s more like it. Less than a week after ESPN released their season predictions that had our Houston Rockets languishing in 11th place in the Western Conference, FiveThirtyEight released their more analytical approach to the same exercise, and they have the Rockets finishing fourth overall in the Western Conference with a final record of 43-29.
Now this is a prediction I can get behind, as I also picked the Rockets to finish fourth in the West in the SB Nation NBA season preview that was also released earlier this week.
