Sometime very soon, the Houston Rockets will start having to play legitimately good NBA teams again. Today, and Wedensday, is not that day.
The Brooklyn Nets would be a playoff team if the season ended today, in the way that the flu vaccine is a disease. Is it technically a disease? Yes, but once it's in there you're not exactly worried about it.
The Rockets have a fully health squad and no Isaiah Canaan for their jaunt into Brooklyn. If this is a close game I will not be thrilled, but take the W. I will be morose if this is a loss.
