+1. I also think the Rockets will catch the league by surprise this year, not dissimilar to last year's horrendous season, difference being we will be on the winning side. Whatever happened last year is water under the bridge. Players need to come out each and every game with their best efforts, play as team winning or losing, just with a renewed sense of camaraderie.
Such a fluff piece. If Harden returns to MVP level, this team is still likely not that good, and it would be unfair to blame him
As much as I rag on Harden for his lack of defensive effort, I'm glad we secured him to a long term contract. I was honestly worried he would leave for LA at the first chance.
Hopefully he has some help next year, one guy cant do it all. No "supermen" needed, just some dudes who can hit open jumpers, set good screens, and go after the ball hard.
They might not. Cavs and Spurs still legit contenders. Personally I'm hoping they have chemistry issues and fail

Say what you want about Morey and Harden, but they are definitely leaving a positive impression They must be doing something right
