"But genius GM Daryl Morey seems to have done it again, assembling a team that not only has desire and something to prove, but also real talent and extreme likeability. The Rockets play the game the right way and are the dictionary definition of the classic sports cliché, “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” A surprising 3–1 start to the season, with victories over expected Western Conference powers the Portland Trailblazers and the Utah Jazz, have the Rockets in first place in their division at this admittedly infantile stage of the season."
