As things get near the midpoint of the season, Houston Rockets are 27-9 and have exceeded many “experts” expectations.
After the hiring of head coach Mike D’Antoni, the signing of free agents Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon, the decision to let Dwight Howard walk many people (including Rockets fans) was a controversial one.
Many did not know what direction this team was going.
The “hot take” lines were blowing up, some people said the Rockets wouldn’t even win 30 games and would be poised to be in the lottery.
