that's a really reductive stance to take on it imo. you could argue the rockets have regressed since last year. if houston nightlife wasn't fire, they'd be getting stepped on even harder.You're only as good as your players. The Rockets don't have any players. Yet.
OKC's team has considerably less experience. But they got actual players.
i get pulling guys to lock up the tank, but any kind of substantive, organized basketball from them is almost never repeated from one game to the next. let alone from one quarter to the next. its hard to develop any good habits in that kind of shyt.
