Despite not a minute of basketball being played yet, many in the NBA community have already voiced their doubts about the Rockets’ title chances due to the loss of reliable veteran Trevor Ariza.
While replacing him with the lesser known James Ennis III will certainly be felt, it shouldn’t be near as detrimental as much of the national media makes it seem (honestly, if Zach Lowe doesn’t write this wonderful piece on Ariza in May, this is likely a non-story, but as Lowe goes, so too does the nation.)
Don’t get me wrong.
