Ready for liftoff? Houston Rockets streaking after dreadful start

The 2018-19 version of the Houston Rockets have demonstrated that they are not doomed to repeat the past. Although the Rockets are currently 7-7 (which is on pace for 41-41), this team does not have the same energy that the 15-16′ squad had.

For the most part, the main reason this year’s Rockets team was 1-5 was as simple as that they could not hit shots.

Through the first six games, the Rockets ranked 26th in points per game and 25th in offensive rating. To add to their struggles, Houston’s defense was also terrible during their first six games of the season as their defensive rating was 25th in the league.
