So far this season, the Houston Rockets have proved that they are one of the best teams in the NBA and should absolutely be taken seriously. After acquiring Chris Paul in the offseason, the Rockets showed the basketball world that they had championship ambitions, and so far they haven’t disappointed.
James Harden is having yet another MVP-caliber season, and Chris Paul still has those same mesmerizing ball-handling and passing skills. Clint Capela, Houston’s starting center, is putting up career numbers almost across the board. Eric Gordon is having another Sixth Man of the Year worthy season and Trevor Ariza is flourishing in his usual 3-and-D role.
