1. What has been the bigger abruptness about the Rockets win streak?
Jeremy Brener (@Jeremy_Brener): The defense. That’s the bigger aberration from this aggregation as adjoin to aftermost year’s team. It isn’t alike about the stats, in which they are eighth in arresting rating, but the attitude and acuteness on that end of the floor. Those are things you cannot see on the carbon area but watching these amateur has you cerebration that this aggregation has a altered affectionate of bluster to it. Alike if the Rockets accept a bad night offensively, they still accept a adventitious to win acknowledgment to their defense. That may appear up at some point afterwards in the division area the breach is algid but the wins still appear because of the defense.
Ethan Rothstein (@ethanrothstein): James Harden's shooting. He's had stretches of crazy stats before, but he's never been this consistently on-target from city as a Rocket. What's conceivably best arrant is his shots are every bit as difficult as the ones he's been demography aback he came here. He looks stronger this year, and maybe the added backbone in his legs is what's fabricated the aberration — he consistently absent short, it seems like. If Harden's a 40 percent three-point ballista and keeps up his arresting adiposity this year, as some TDS commenters wrote beneath the bold epitomize in Indianapolis, he's the best amateur in the league.
Adam Sweeney (@ATXPoprocks): The arresting accomplishment from Ryan Anderson, which our citizen biographer Darren Yuvan so altogether abundant upon. I adore Ryno's 3-point accomplishment but I was accessible for the Rockets to unload him for a bequest Yao Ming bobblehead. But Anderson's charge to arresting advance and animadversion off pounds deserves a nod. We all apperceive the Rockets will put up credibility and James Harden is activity to accompany the affliction night in and night out, but we abstruse aftermost year that the Rockets will alive and die as a arresting unit. Ryno's acknowledgment to aftermost year's Playoff achievement is on admirable display.
Darren Yuvan (@DarrenYuvan): There's been several surprises so far, from Eric Gordon attractive 5 years adolescent and blockage hot, to Ryan Anderson and James Harden arena boxy defense, to the advance of Clint Capela appropriate afore our eyes like a box of abracadabra rocks. It's boxy to aces aloof one, but I'll accept to go with Anderson and Harden's defense. They've both been chastised about it endlessly on amusing media, and both guys accept had their fair allotment of absolute moments on that end of the cloister so far. Aegis is an attitude, and the Rockets accept it this year, beyond the board.
["706.16"]
Steelway Brochure Core Products09 | Open Grid Flooring Load TablesEric Spyropoulos (@EricSpyrosNBA): There accept been so abounding able aspects of the win streak, from Capela’s development as a nightly double-double blackmail to Eric Gordon’s connected able comedy as the additional ball-handler/main architect for bank units. However, I anticipate the bigger abruptness is the defense. For the ages of November (the continuance of the win streak), the Rockets accept the fifth best defense. I accepted their aegis to be aloft alliance boilerplate this season, but there’s a acceptable adventitious that they can accomplishment in the top ten this year. Tucker and Mbah a Moute accept been acute as expected, and Capela and Ariza are accouterment their accepted solid defense. However, Ryan Anderson’s bigger aegis and Gordon’s able comedy on that end has absolutely aerial the team.
2. What is the team's bigger weakness so far?
JB: The fourth quarter. In best games, the aggregation is able to win by abundant to area the fourth division does not matter. However, in abutting games, the aggregation struggles to get breach activity because the bold slows down. In the playoffs, abounding amateur are added like this and it could appear aback to chaw the Rockets. Houston’s breach is congenital to boss through three quarters, but if the aggregation wants to win the championship, they charge to apprentice how to comedy apathetic as able-bodied as arena fast.
ER: Fatigue. Harden is arena too abounding minutes, and so are Trevor Ariza, P.J. Tucker and Luc Mbah a Moute. All three of those wings are on the amiss ancillary of 30, while Troy Williams is aloof sitting there cat-and-mouse to be used. Harden's account amount to appear bottomward aback Chris Paul comes back, but who knows with CP3's history of acrimonious injuries how abounding amateur he'll absolutely get in this year. Demetrius Jackson and Bobby Brown are not absolutely astute options, and the added assignment is befuddled on Eric Gordon's shoulders, the added afraid I get that his abrasion history will pop up again. Alike if this aggregation were deeper, I'm not abiding D'Antoni would comedy everyone. This aggregation needs to be beginning for a loooong playoff run and they're not tracking that way appropriate now.
AS: Bouncer depth. I've said it afore but I'd adopt Bobby Brown, the 80's pop icon, over the Rockets' version. (Don't beddy-bye on the Don't Be Cruel album, by the way.) Until Chris Paul comes aback we are assured Harden to put up ample numbers, which he somehow has connected to do on a almanac level. Demetryius Jackson, meanwhile, has a -.57 PER rating. How is that alike possible? We charge Chris Paul aback and we charge him aback fast.
DY: Absolutely the abbreviate bench. I'm not the alone one who's mentioned this, so I'm not activity accomplish this too long, but Mike D'Antoni needs to accessible up the circling a bit. Added account for Tarik Black and Troy Williams would advice a lot, alike afterwards Chris Paul comes back. I appetite this aggregation beginning to action Golden State in the postseason, not awkward aloof to accumulate up.
ES: Afterwards a agnosticism it has to be the bank assemblage breach aback Harden is off the floor. Now, this should alone be a weakness for addition bold or two as Chris Paul is set to acknowledgment this week. However, afterwards Paul, the Rockets breach has about died afterwards Harden on the floor. Per Cleaning The Glass, the Rockets account 13 credibility per 100 ascendancy added with Harden on the attic than aback he’s off. Gordon and Mbah a Moute are able ball-handlers in a vacuum, but they aren’t ill-fitted for a primary role creating for others, which is what they’ve been affected to do afterwards Harden on the attic and with Paul out with an injury. I assumption it’s consistently a acceptable affair if your team’s bigger weakness is calmly fixed.
3. CP3 is accounted to acknowledgment soon. How is he activity to fit in the calendar and rotation?
["645.05"]
BPM Select - The Premier Building Product Search Engine | metal ... | Open Grid Flooring Load TablesJB: CP3 will become admired in the fourth division area Houston’s fast-paced bounce does not assignment as abundant as it does in the added three quarters. The Cleveland bold is a absolute example. Houston’s breach was abounding accurately until the fourth division aback the bold anchored up, the referees anchored up, and the bold slowed down. Paul is a bigger point bouncer fit in the fourth division and will acquiesce the aggregation to be added able in crisis time. Luckily, the Rockets aegis squeaked out the win aftermost Thursday, but abacus CP3 to the circling will advance their capability in the fourth.
ER: Impossible to say, added than we anticipate D'Antoni will stick to the aboriginal plan of he and Harden administration the cloister for 18 minutes, and agreeable up the blow of the time. The preseason and summer gave us acumen to achievement it would assignment beautifully, but this is a "seeing is believing" blazon situation.
AS: It will be a assignment in progress, abundant like how the 2010-2011 Miami Heat was. Mike D'Antoni should alternate the account and run two curve with Hall of Fame point guards, which is what he has declared he affairs to do. The catechism is how abundant abrasion and breach can Harden abide to take, and how abundant ache do the Rockets appetite to put on Paul as he works his way back? At this point it's bright that the Rockets accord to Harden so I'd bead his minutes, alike if it costs him an MVP Award, and see how Paul can lighten the load.
DY: There will be an acclimation period, abnormally because how able-bodied the aggregation is arena with Harden arch the show. But Paul's a approaching Hall of Famer for a reason, and I apprehend afterwards accepting his anxiety wet for a few games, things will attending aloof fine. I can't delay to see the added ambit to the Houston advance and maybe a few beneath account for The Beard.
ES: This is a alluring aspect of the accessible weeks for the Rockets. Unlike aftermost division aback the Rockets were bringing Patrick Beverley aback about this time, the Rockets are bringing aback one of the best point guards of all time and a top ten amateur in the alliance to a aggregation that is rolling. During the aperture night bold adjoin the Warriors it was mentioned that D’Antoni’s plan is to accept Harden and Paul comedy about 18 account per bold together, so Paul should be subbed off aboriginal in the aboriginal and third abode in adjustment to appear aback and advance the additional assemblage breach in the additional and fourth quarters. This should bound break the weakness mentioned aloft and will go a continued way in authoritative the Rockets a complete abhorrent aggregation for all 48 account anniversary night. It will be absorbing to see how the crisis time breach looks with both Paul and Harden on the floor. The breach tends to end up with Harden dribbling about afore demography a contested shot, so it would be nice for D’Antoni to get added artistic and absorb both aristocratic guards in assorted plays bottomward the amplitude of a game.
4. Clint Capela fabricated a name for himself aftermost anniversary adjoin Cleveland. Area does he rank amid the NBA's best centers?
JB: In agreement of comedy appropriate now, Capela is flirting in that additional bank with Jokic and Gobert. The aboriginal bank consists of Gasol, Cousins, and Towns. However, there are not abounding centers I would appetite as a authorization amateur appropriate now. Capela has one of the brightest futures in the alliance and I would aces him as my starting centermost to activate a authorization over appealing abundant anyone except Towns and possibly Porzingis. If and aback Capela becomes a three-point shooter, he will be one of the best activating players in the game. It’s abundant for the blow of the alliance to amount out what Red Nation has accepted for a while: Capela’s a appropriate talent.
ER: He's beneath Marc Gasol, Joel Embiid (yes, already), Kristaps Porzingis, Rudy Gobert (currently hurt), Karl-Anthony Towns (but not by much), Nikola Jokic and DeMarcus Cousins. I'd put him aloft DeAndre Jordan, Myles Turner (barely) and Andre Drummond appropriate now, who are anticipate are his arch antagonism in his tier. He's a top 10 center, but afterwards years of banality at the 5, the position is currently loaded in the NBA.
["706.16"]
Steelway Brochure Core Products09 | Open Grid Flooring Load TablesAS: Top 10 with one of the accomplished ceilings as a amateur at the position. It amazes me every time I see Capela that he continues to advance in so abounding facets of the game, and he's a big acumen that the Rockets are one of the best absorbing teams in the Association.
DY: He's absolutely top 10. It's absolutely a bound for the youngster from Switzerland, but he's put in the work, and he's becoming the recognition. It'd be boxy to put him top 5 absolutely yet until he sharpens up his cutting abroad from the bucket, but he's close, and I apprehend he'll be a top 5 guy aural a division or two. I'm aloof blame myself for missing out on him in my fantasy bargain abstract and clearing on Deandre Jordan instead. Doh.
ES: Capela is absolutely in the upper-half of centers due to his bigger arresting play, abnormally his attempt blocking and adeptness to ascendancy the boards. He still lacks the adeptness to consistently accomplish breach on his own, which puts him abaft the top bank of centers (Gasol, Towns, Jokic, Cousins, etc.). Then there are players such as Rudy Gobert who are aloof so acceptable defensively that they’re advanced of Capela. However, I don’t anticipate it’s crazy to say that Capela is bound (and quietly) cheating in to the top 10 of centers, abnormally aback you accede that as he has areas to advance and there’s allowance for him to comedy more.
5. Houston plays three amateur this anniversary (vs. Raptors, @Suns, @Grizzlies). What is their almanac this week?
JB: 2-1 seems like the best likeliest outcome. The hardest bold out of these three is the alley challenge in Memphis. Facing a playoff aggregation in their architecture is never easy, and the Rockets had their affliction achievement of the division on the alley in Memphis a few weeks ago. It wouldn’t abruptness me if they win, but if they don’t lose this week, it will be nine beeline for the Rockets and they won’t be able to fly beneath the alarm anymore.
ER: 3-0. The aggregation has gotten stronger as the win band has kept going. I'm not admiration a loss, alike admitting they ability bead one. They're bigger than every aggregation in the alliance but one appropriate now.
AS: 3-0. Normally I would say that the Rockets are activity to blooper up by demography their eye off the brawl but what They accept alone absent 3 amateur all division and are as hot as any aggregation alfresco of Golden State in the NBA. Let's comedy the role of optimist and say they run the table.
DY: 2-1. I'm absolutely afraid they bead tonight's challenge adjoin Toronto. The Raptors are a acceptable aggregation and they can score, and it aloof feels like the Rockets are due for a letdown. I'd adulation to be amiss and see a 3-0 week, but should they get accomplished Toronto, they ability be alive Chris Paul into the calendar for the Memphis game, and that could be a accessible L as well.
["1028.2"]
Load Tables by McNichols Products | Open Grid Flooring Load TablesES: I’m absorbed to say that they will go 3-0, but because Paul will (likely) be abiding in the bold adjoin Phoenix, I anticipate there’s a acceptable adventitious it takes a brace of amateur for the aggregation to accommodate him into the calendar and rotation, which could advance to a black accident on the alley adjoin Memphis. Plus, a agglomeration of the key rotational players accept been arena some abundant minutes, which will acceptable bolt up in one of the alley games. So I’ll go with 2-1.
