Awesome! PS. With the 3rd pick in my fantasy draft I will take Omar Asheek. Thats right, Championship!
The analysis by OP is spot on. Anyone not giving him credit for his research should really read it again.
Update: If the playoffs started today, the Rockets would be in 9th place in the West. They would also have the 14th Overall Pick, barring tremendous lottery luck.
if the playoffs started today the Rockets would have just completed a season without 65% of their fan base seeing a single game. and these idiots wonder why the area is half full . . .and by the end of the season they will be hoping they can get it half full
After exactly 50% of the season, if the playoffs started today, the Houston Röckëts will be in 9th place again after a long losing streak.
True, but we've also had one of the hardest schedules in the NBA in terms of travel, back to backs and level of competition. I expect it to level out considerably in February and March. Way too early to get panicked. Just gotta get out of January with a few wins.
