[Power Rankings] Rockets ranked 28th......what a joke.

David Robinson says hi.

 

Sup prophet.

 

Regular-season grades for all 30 teams

Houston Rockets — Final grade: A | Record: 44-34, No. 7 in the West

Midseason grade: B+ | Midseason record: 22-22, No. 8 in the West

Having a superstar dropped into your lap is a sure way to jump-start a resurgence, but the Rockets’ rise from afterthought to solid playoff team has been more than just the James Harden story. Two deals for restricted free agents — neither of which seemed a guarantee when offered — have paid big dividends, with Jeremy Lin (13.2 points, 6.1 assists) and Omer Asik (10.3 points, 11.7 rebounds) each averaging at least 30 minutes without missing a game. Credit management for finding and trusting former second-round picks Chandler Parsons and Patrick Beverley, and don’t leave out coach Kevin McHale’s all-for-one, fun-and-gun dynamic, which has helped keep the youngsters from fading.

With credit fully shared, it’s time to come back to Harden. The first-time All-Star ranks 10th in the NBA in PER, performing every bit like a franchise player should.

If the Rockets were a stock, analysts would be unanimous in making “Buy” recommendations. That’s because of the core’s youth, the untapped potential of Thomas Robinson, Terrence Jones and others, and the organization’s big-time financial flexibility that could lead to the acquisition of another star this summer.

We are finally relevant again. Getting some measure of respect is nice.

 

We've gone 22-12 since that mid-season grade. Not bad. Not bad at all.

 

Not going to lie - I thought the Rockets would only win between 25-35 games this season depending on the health of the team. And those were my expectations even after the Rockets acquired Harden. Generally speaking, the youngest team in the league is at least pretty close to the worst team in the league.

I am more than pleasantly surprised to say the least. Couldn't be happier to have been wrong (though I didn't comment on this thread).

 

Labron is a player and he lives in this "World". If i recall correctly he added a hell of alot more games to cleavland than what you are claiming NO PLAYER in the world can add.

 

Dude, if this was not edited or fixed.....YOU NAILED IT. jeez. That was not only calling a Harden deal, but calling the parts being moved. Noice
