The Ringer: Should We Reconsider the Rockets’ Ceiling? And the NBA’s Other Biggest Questions of the Week

[Adam Wolff]

I caught a majority of the game against Boston. Westbrook looked as good as I can ever recall him looking.. he was aggressive, but under control and was just attacking like crazy. I came away from that very impressed.

The Rockets, to me are the least enjoyable team to watch.

Nothing but 1 on 1 stuff.

It will be interesting to see Harden play after he has reportedly lost so much weight.

The Ringer: Are the Small-Ball Rockets Sleeper Contenders in the NBA’s Restart?

[Mike B]

I think the Rockets were contenders from Day 1 but not a team that should be cosidered one of the favorites.  They will need to out score teams, because defensively they are going to be exposed.

Can't imagine that that teams will be lining up for Russ.

Can't imagine that that teams will be lining up for Russ.

Clippers and Knicks apparently.

[Mike B]

Russ and Harden were IMO, a bad matchup.  Too similar as both need the ball.
