Houston come playoff time can compete with any other team in the Western Conference. Oklahoma City led by Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are probably the favorites to come out the West. Also the veteran San Antonio Spurs led by Tony Parker and Tim Duncan are expected to be playing in June. Even the Los Angeles Clippers are a sexy pick led by CP3 and Blake Griffin. However the team that not to many people are talking about are the Houston Rockets. The Rockets can make a Western Conference Finals run and may even have enough in the tank to get to the NBA Finals. Dwight Howard is finally in a happy place in his career playing with a fellow All Star in James Harden. Howard will provide rebounding, interior defense and a low post presence inside on offense. Harden can play 3 positions and score at will, however he's a terrific passer as well. Jeremy Lin can run the offense and knock down the three. Guys like Parsons and Jones are coming on this season as well. The Rockets seemed to be coming together at the right time. Now obviously the Western Conference has depth so it won't be easy for anyone. Especially when teams such as Portland and Golden State will be in the playoff mix looking to make a run themselves.
