I think the Rockets have a legit shot this year.
Everything is set up perfectly for them because I always say, star players are important, but you have to have the right players around them and good chemistry.
Rockets seem to have it all and are feeling confident.
Superstar guard and MVP front-runner James Harden says he believes the 2017-18 season is “the year” for the Houston Rockets.
“This is the year. For sure,” Harden told ESPN on Tuesday in an exclusive interview when asked what his expectations for the Rockets are this season.
Steph Curry didn’t add any fuel to the fire, but I am sure this was noted by the Warriors.
“Yes (they are a threat) because they do it a different way,” Curry said from shootaround in Washington on Wednesday morning. “They adopted the power of the three ball and tried to use that as a main weapon. Obviously with James and (Chris Paul) together, honestly we know they’re playing well and we’re chasing that No. 1 seed and keeping tabs on how they’re playing and what not. … We know they’re serious, but so are we.”
Curry also said it’s not just the Rockets that he’s noticed a different swagger from.
“Everybody has to have that confidence whether it’s rational or not,” he said.
