For now, though, the Rockets have no centers at all to put on the floor and they will struggle to compete against most teams. The West is a very tough place to play, but no one hs pulled away. The Rockets are still very much alive in the hunt for a playoff spot. The competitive nature of the West means that the top teams have trouble even against the middle to lower level teams. A trip to the East is always a welcome relief to playing in the battlefield that is the Western Conference.
Consistency is the main issue for Houston.
If they can get their players healthy, they can go far, but right now they don't have a consistent lineup, much less consistent play from that lineup. All Rights Reserved.
