We know James Harden to be one of the best offensive players in the league but as you can see he is not the best defender. To be fair this was last season and Harden has somewhat improved his defense. A popular argument Rockets fan use to defend James Harden is that Harden does so much offensively and he plays a lot of minutes.
James Harden and Chris Paul faced off against one of the most talked about rookies in the league yesterday, Lonzo Ball. James Harden scored 36 points with 9 assists, while Chris Paul had 21 points with 6 assists. Unfortunately the overhyped rookie was only able to accumulate 2 points with 3 assists. The Rockets currently have the second longest win streak in the league with 7 wins ( Cavs have the longest with 11 straight wins).

Since the last time I have posted the Rockets have not disappointed. They are currently on a 4 game winning streak and do not seem to be slowing down. They are going to be playing the Brooklyn Nets tonight at 5pm PT and we both know that’s an easy W. I am personally happy to have Chris Paul back, I love watching James Harden drive in and kick it out to a wide open Chris Paul. Paul is lights out from beyond the arch. The Houston Rockets are currently #1 in the West and #2 in the league.
The Rockets have the second best defense in the league, they are also the best 3 point shooting team. James Harden is coming off a hot scoring night and Chris Paul has returned from his injury. They will be facing off at FedEx Forum, giving Grizzlies home court advantage. The Grizzlies are currently 2-1 vs the Rockets this season, hopefully my Houston Rockets can tie it up by taking this W.
