Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was critical of the Houston Rockets before the postseason where the Mavs and Rockets squared off in the first round:
“[The biggest difference is] practice time. There’s no more predictable team than the Rockets. You know exactly what they’re gonna do.
“But James Harden is so good. That’s what analytics have begot. Right? Predictability. If you know what the percentages are, in the playoffs, you have time to counter them. Whether you’re good enough to do it is another question.
“Because they are very talented, and James Harden, I think, is the MVP. Because that’s not a very good team over there.”
Now that Houston has advanced to the Western Conference Finals, Cuban was forced to eat his words:
Congrats to the Rockets. Gotta admit I was wrong. A lot.of guys stepped up. Congrats @dmorey
