He wasn't on the Rockets' roster, it was after we had traded him to Phoenix. I'm not sure about his Phoenix situation. It looked like the NBA season was going to be lost, though there was certainly a lot of posturing.
throw in the lakers game and the clippers game at home when we just fell apart at the end of 3rd while having the lead the whole game before that
They've played a significantly tougher schedule than us and are missing Iggy, their second best player. They'll pick it up. Honestly they look better than us.
