Like most Rockets fans over the past few days, I’ve been trying to figure out what games one through three means. I’m at a loss.
We know the Rockets can defend at an elite level, but without Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, they are not at the peak of their powers. We know the Rockets can shoot an elite level, but we also know that they basically never do in the playoffs. We know that James Harden and Chris Paul can have monster games in the playoffs, but we also know they can disappear when they are needed most.
