We discuss whether the Houston Rockets are legitimate Western Conference contenders. Currently sitting 3rd in the West at 33-19, they've moved past the Nuggets and are breathing down the necks of the Spurs and Thunder. We talk about Coach Udoka's efforts to find the right matchups and identity for the team, acknowledging he's done a great job getting them to 3rd without a true point guard. However, we highlight offensive struggles and the need for another steady hand via the buyout market to push the Rockets deeper into the playoffs.
