They have the Rockets being really bad. Go ahead and sign me up for this prediction being wrong. Even if they trade James Harden at some point, they aren't this bad. Here's their prediction for them.
11.Houston Rockets: 32-40
Their explanation:
The Rockets have a shot to be better than just decent, particularly if James Harden buys in and John Wall is healthy and returns to form. But right now, our panel isn't anticipating that outcome.
Look the Rockets could stink if EVERYTHING hits the fan. That's not going to happen. You keep doing you, ESPN. Your bias is never showing.
