The Houston Rockets are RED HOT
Jalen Green and the Houston Rockets have been on a tear lately and are making a playoff push. They have won 10 of their last 11 game and are within a game of the Warriors. This team is young and fueled with fire of being counted out. To top it off they also have Dillon Brooks who seems to acutally give this team and edge. If they keep it up they might possibly see the Lakers in the play in tournament and we all know how Lebron feels about Dillon Brooks. That would be must watch basketball. I don't believe in the Houston Rockets just yet because their win streak has been against some very mid teams but let's see if they can prove they are not pretenders because right now their wins have come against bottom tier teams lol. Do we think the Houston Rockets are legit?
What does legit mean? They have a legit chance of making the play-in. If things break their way there, they can sneak into the playoffs and legit have their asses handed to them while being swept by the nuggets
Wasted push. Jalen green can score against soft teams but he is barely breaking 15 per game against the top of the East or West.
In their win streak, they played Portland twice, Washington twice, Utah, and Chicago. Not a murderer's row. They beat the Kings on the road and OKC just now. Which I give them credit for. But two road victories against good, but, not great teams, doesn't really prove themselves in my eyes. If they beat an elite team, then we can say they are legit
