The Rockets were one of the 29 teams that did not win a championship in 2015, but they are primed to be a main contender for the 2016 title.
To focus on the negative at this moment would be silly. The Houston Rockets went toe-to-toe with the supposed fourth greatest team to ever lace up their sneakers and take the court.
In three of their four of losses, the Rockets competed. This is a team a series earlier I questioned if it had the heart to even be on the same floor as the Clippers' reserves.
