    Joke article. Rockets will still end up being the 1 seed in a really watered down West.

    If it’s the hangover, that’s great. No hangover last forever.

    There are 15 teams in the Western Conference. The Rockets are in 14th place. They have the same superstar players, the same revolutionary coach and the same aggressive front office. But this team that went 65-17 last season is 12-14, and they’re on pace for the steepest decline of any 60-win team that didn’t lose LeBron James or Michael Jordan.

    Reminder where the Rockets were on December 12, 2018 - 14th place, with early obituaries/ post mortems being written. Next day, Harden's streak began...

    Still it holds true, Rockets definitely affected by it still. Harden was out for blood in that win @ Oracle!
