Houston v Boston: who is better prepared?

Houston v Boston: who is better prepared?

The match between Houston and Boston is a pretty attractive sign. However, one should not expect an ardent confrontation from them. After all, this is the preseason.

Houston

By the break, the “rockets” were fifth in the Western Conference, but there were chances to fight even for the second place, especially with such attack monsters as James Harden and Russell Westbrook, who, as time showed, found a common language on the floor.

Houston had two matches in the training camp, where they lost first to Toronto (83-94) and then showed class in the match against Memphis (119-104). Of course, it is difficult to assess the form of the team in such a short period of time, although the leader of the team, "Beard" Harden, is serious.

The Rockets will have their last preseason meeting against Boston, which will be a good rehearsal for the season restart.

Boston

“Celtics” has been holding the brand of one of the leaders of the Eastern Conference for several seasons and this championship was no exception. Brad Stevens's guys went on a break due to the pandemic on the third line and also managed to beat Indiana (114-111).

Boston, like Houston, started the preseason unsuccessfully, because they lost to Oklahoma (84-98), but managed to rehabilitate themselves in the second meeting against Phoenix (117-103). Jaylen Brown was one of the most active players in the Celts' squad with 21 points to his credit.

The team understands that the restart is ahead and the match against the Rockets can help to come up to it in good shape, so it is necessary to perform with dignity.
