The Rockets don’t need to be so isolated

It seems like most of the articles I’ve written since I (blissfully) returned to The Dream Shake have been some iteration of “the Rockets have the NBA’s second-best Offensive Rating, but they need to fix their offense.” Well… It’s now the fourth-best Offensive Rating (121.0). Still elite territory, but they’re slipping.  This should not come […]
