After the not very successful last season, there have been big changes at Houston. There was a change in the vector of development, management and coaching staff. There were also some rather curious newcomers who were called upon to strengthen and raise the level of the team. Among others Wood and Cousins ??stand out, who have already proven their high level in the preseason. True, there are problems within the team at Houston. The coronavirus also spoiled the start of the season for the team, but already in the last games the Rockets players regained their usual confidence.
Thunders also cannot boast of a stable game, which, in principle, was predictable, because the team fell apart in the offseason. That only is the departure of Chris Paul, who was the leader on the floor and now an extravaganza at Phoenix. Oklahoma managed to register the victory in the previous meeting, as it turned out to be stronger than Orlando (108:99). Darius Bazley was one of the best in the Thunder squad, which is a good indicator for a 20-year-old forward. The main thing now is to keep the bar high. Mark Deino’s wards will try to break into the top 10 of the Western Conference. However, what can we say if they have to confront last year’s finalist?
