    I'm predicting us to go 2-2 over next 4 if we keep shooting like ****. 76ers are actually good this season and fighting for a playoff seed, I hope Rockets don't underestimate them. We have to play Grizz again on the 2nd half of a b2b. Hornets are trash and will be the trap game.

    Go ahead and chalk up those 3 other Grizzlies games as losses if this what the officiating is gonna look like.

    CBS: 2. Houston Rockets
    The Rockets aren't quite the Rockets yet. They're winning games and playing efficient basketball, but they're a below average team in pace and an average team on offense right now. This will surely go back to normal as the season continues on, but it's odd to see them playing this way with slow-game maestro Chris Paul sitting out injured.

    ESPN: 1. Houston Rockets
    The Rox are 0-2 against Memphis, and undefeated against the rest of the league. Friday night's win at Charlotte was Houston in technicolor. The Rockets set a record for the fewest 2-pointers attempted in a game, with 28. It was also only the third time in NBA history a team attempted 57 3-pointers or more. The other two occasions? The 2016-17 Houston Rockets.

    SI: 2. Houston Rockets
    After riding the high of Eric Gordon’s game-winner against Philly, the Rockets suffered a sobering loss to the Grizzlies. Until Chris Paul returns, Houston will be susceptible to bouts of inconsistency.

    Pretty much sums up the Rockets. They can win without Paul(against most teams anyway), but they're gonna be hard pressed to beat anyone if their rotation is shortened even more.

    We have won a game or two with Clint getting 16 and 20 and he won't be averaging those rebounding numbers.

    Truth: Rockets doing better in the Power Rankings this year now that they aren't the "committee of one" as they were before with DALLAS Stein doing it. Stein always depressed the Rockets. Takes his jabs when he can.
