The Houston Rockets are currently back where the MSB loves them most. Jostling at the top of the Western conference. Currently 10-4 with one of the most difficult schedules in the league, the young core is looking PROMISING.

But unlike Rockets teams of the past, you are going to have a difficult time hating these guys. Hustle and defense is the priority in Houston. Some streaky offensive players. But maybe no scarier defensive combo in the backcourt than the two-headed monster of Tari Eason and Amen Thompson. When the Terror Twins check in, your guards start turning the ball over.

It’s early in a tough Western Conference, but I’m looking forward to the potential of some Rockets playoff basketball on the MSB.

Any truth to rumors about a trade for Giannis?

Seems so. We obviously have a ton of assets with so much young talent and still more picks (thanks James Harden). But this team is lacking in shooting, so it seems that we would prefer a super star shooter to Giannis. But not sure who that could be.

Sheppard living up to his draft status would really help.

We can fix him. I would prefer him over Giannis that guy is impossible to pull for.

Tari Eason is a super sub. His stats this year are great. Making an impact everywhere.

Sheppard went 4/5 from three last night, but the Bulls are bad. It’s all about if he can be comfortable getting his shot off.

I think the perfect star to add to this team in the next couple years would be Booker if the Suns implode.

I also don’t like the Giannis rumors because Amen Thompson cannot be on the floor with Giannis (same weaknesses on offense), and he is my favorite Rocket at the moment.

Amen Thompson will be a HOFer.

Jalen Green is unlocked. This team is just nasty.

Amen Thompson is going to win a couple of DPOY awards. Him and Eason are fun to watch on defense.

Truthfully the only problem is no one cares about the NBA much.
