    One could say the Rockets' fiercest foe are the Rockets and their mistakes/laziness.

    This. The Lakers might be even an worse matchup because they have great bigs that could easily punish our size.

    Lakers are the team everyone should be afraid of. Clippers are Mr. Glass team Beverly, Kawhi even PG13 are all injury prone, they look great on paper I wanna see them reach postseason while healthy first last year Kawhi was falling apart in the Finals and just willing his team to win.

    Lakers oth have Lebron AD duo as well as some complimentary pieces Dwight, Kuzma and Danny green. Even their scrubs have contributed like Caruso and Javale. They are def the biggest threat IMO just gonna wait for the inevitable Clippers injury you know it is coming.

    Nobody. Too early in the season to worry about playoffs. Davis playing more than 80 games this season would be a shocker.

    Davis is probably more injury prone than any of those Clippers players.

    But the fact is, as currently constructed, there is no chance in hell the Rockets will make it out of the west.

    Lol ok wanna do a 10 usd tip jar bet? I bet somebody in the Clippers team gets a serious injury before Davis.

    As the Rox having no chance, we can def get a chance as long as Dumbtoni pulls his head out of his ass and starts coaching properly. We got James Harden and Beastbrook man, we always got a chance.

    Well Dumbtoni is the reason I don’t think we have a chance.

    Phoenix!

    Seriously all teams should frighten us right now. The offense won’t save the team from that horrible defense

    None scare me. But I am not yet betting on the Rockets until they actually give some effort on defense for an entire game.

    They have a defensive scheme and players are executing them

    scheme put more emphasis on recovering loose balls, drawing charges, and contesting three

    While less emphasis on deflections and contesting 2 pt shots

    Need to remind players for active hands, contest 2s as much as 3s, and better closeouts on 3s

    None. Rockets packing it in on defense isn’t concerning either. Why play defense in October.

    The Rockets scare me more because how dangerous they can be when comes to beating themselves.
