Last season the Houston Rockets were consistently, inconsistent. National pundits weekly power rankings found the Rockets standing on so many different rungs of the ladder it was clear no one had a handle on the squads true identity or potential. Conversely, this season has found the home town team experiencing a steady upward climb with the majority of National pundits in eerie synchronicity.
To wit, zero questions exist regarding the Rockets identity, offensive brilliance and untapped potential. In truth the only unknown is whether assistant coach Jeff Bzdelik can get the squad to provide equal effort on the defensive end.
