The Houston Rockets have been disappointing so far. They are just 1-4, though they are 1-1 with both Chris Paul and James Harden playing in the same game. Still, there are obvious issues early on that are requiring some change.
The one we’ll talk about today is the defense. The Rockets were a top-tier defensive team last season and were hoping to be even better this year. That hasn’t been the case so far, with the team ranking just No. 26 in defensive rating at the moment. That’s in the same area as the Cavs, Mavs & Suns, so something has to change.
