The Houston Rockets took the Golden State Warriors to the seventh game of the Western Conference Finals. It was an extremely tight series that was a least partially dictated by injuries on both sides.
The Rockets let some of that team go in free agency either to do cost or just not wanting them back. They also retooled and brought in new guys to affect the defense and guys to come in and ensure the offense wouldn’t stall out.
Well, so far this season, the defense hasn’t been good at all allowing seemingly lesser teams to have their will on offense.
