As promised, here’s your 2018-2019 predictions for this upcoming Houston Rockets season from your Dream Shake staff. We even have one extra-special guest dropping by his old stomping grounds to make a prediction for you (Hi, Ethan!).
There’s going to be some kinks to work out defensively — we’ve already seen a small glimpse of some of those lapses in the preseason, albeit without P.J. Tucker and Clint Capela — but the Rockets will be an absolute offensive juggernaut. Melo’s going to be good, so is James Ennis, and Houston has a cadre of role players, which includes some young talent, that will allow them to mix and match, while healthy, with any team in the league.
