The New Pelicans, losers of 7 of their last 8, are trudging ever so slowly towards the finish line defeat after defeat, while the Houston Rockets are blazing a track into the upcoming playoffs, winners of 12 of their last 14.
Honestly, things couldn’t be any more different between the two franchises.
The Rockets are led by one of the game’s biggest superstars, who is pouring his heart out each and every night for his team. James Harden is in the running for another deserved MVP award, and if you were to ask the Warriors who scares them the most, they would probably say Houston.
