    In an article by ESPN, the Rockets are shown, statistically, to be the third most improved team from last year, up to this point.

    Mavericks are first, Sixers are second.

    At least the Rockets are getting some press, even if it was forced on ESPN by their statistics.

    I agree that it's about time the media gave some respect to the rockets.

    The biggest surprise there has to be that the clippers are the 5th most improved team.

    Actually, not really. With the exception of the Bulls who STILL suck, the Clips were one of the few teams that had no where to go but up.

    You wouldn't expect the Lakers to be most improved because they won so many games last year.

    The Clippers are improved but it isn't showing that much on their record. If the Clippers were in the Rockets position they would be most improved for sure!
