Let's visit the Way-Back Machine to about 10 months ago. Rockets coming off a 41-41 season. Coaching staff was fired. Then Pringles was hired. Dwight bolted. And in free agency, Morey whiffed. If a fortune teller told you then: 10 months from now, the Rockets will be trotting out the Coach of the Year and the League MVP at Toyota Center for Game 6 of the Conference Finals... ...would you have been excited to hear about all the things the Rockets did right in 2017? Or would you have b****ed and moaned about all the things the Rockets didn't do right in 2017? I can't believe how many people are blaming Pringles and Harden. This is an 18-64 lottery team without those two. Seriously.
