Houston Rockets fans — through just seven games, our team is just one game above .500 which is about where I expected them to be at this point in the season. It’s going to take some time for the new parts of this team to fuse together and before we know it, they’re going to hit their stride and the team will start climbing their way through the standings.
While we sit back and watch the Los Angeles Lakers sail to a hot start, the Houston Rockets climb will be a lot more gradual as it’s fully expected that James Harden and Russell Westbrook will continue to tweak the best way on how each can maximize their touches on the basketball in order to make plays to help this team win.
