    Houston Rockets find way to get better -- even after blockbuster Chris Paul trade
    Big trade to open offseason merely marks start of roster reshaping for 55-win team

    Is it possible the Houston Rockets are under the radar?

    “We obviously pay attention to everything written about the Rockets,” General Manager Daryl Morey said Saturday. “It seemed like everything is written about us.”

    But, really: you didn’t hear a lot about the Rockets after their big acquisition of Chris Paul in late June. There were the breathless reports during the summer about Morey trying to engineer a deal for Carmelo Anthony, but there was never any real traction to any of the talk -- New York didn’t want the rest of Ryan Anderson’s contract, and that was that.

    Honestly, I thought it was some new guy, who happened to be Cole's brother. instead of David Aldridge.

    Great article! You guys posting about anything besides the article are ....
    Aldridge is one of the last good reporters. I feel excited about Mbah and our bench even more now.

    I've never really seen the rockets as a contender. The rockets are a great regular season team and that often allow them to get to the second round of the playoffs.

    The rockets have largely avoided teams that could beat them in the first round, namely the grizzlies.
    The rockets should have beaten the spurs last year, with kawhi's injury and winning the first game, but the rockets squandered that opportunity.
    The only significant team that the rockets have beaten was the clippers who have been the most beatable of the big 5 in the last five years: that being, clippers, okc, Grizz, spurs and houston.
