The Houston Rockets have had a roller-coaster of a season, to say the least. In a year that has seen them have records of 1-5 and 11-14 at two points, to be the No. 3 seed in the West right now with a 41-25 record is something truly extraordinary.
Thanks to the constant MVP-caliber play by James Harden, the Rockets kept afloat while dealing with many injuries to pretty much every key player on the team. It’s a tough competition between the Beard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, but bringing Houston all the way back to a top spot might seal the deal for Harden.
