The Houston Rockets have not had the start to the season that many imagined they would. The vast majority of the free agent additions from the offseason have not panned out like the team hoped. Carmelo Anthony is no longer with the team while Michael Carter-Williams played his way out of the rotation.
The team appeared to be turning a corner before hitting another skid caused by some injuries and more inconsistent play. Chris Paul has been battling a slew of leg injuries that have now prevented him from playing a quarter of the season so far.
