|
| | | HOUSTON: LAST SEASON: 53-29, lost 4-2 to Golden State in Western Conference semifinals.
COACH: Mike D'Antoni (fourth season with Rockets, 173-73; 16th season overall, 628-499).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Russell Westbrook (22.9 ppg with Oklahoma City), G James Harden (36.1), F Eric Gordon (16.2), F P.J. Tucker (7.3), C Clint Capela (12.0).
KEY LOSSES: G Chris Paul, G Iman Shumpert, C Kenneth Faried
KEY ADDITIONS: Westbrook, C Tyson Chandler, F Thabo Sefolosha, F Ryan Anderson, F Ben McLemore.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: All eyes will be on Westbrook and Harden as the Rockets try to prove that these two ball-dominant guards can coexist after Houston sent Paul to Oklahoma City in exchange for Westbrook. Harden and Westbrook are longtime friends and played together in Oklahoma City at the beginning of Harden's career when he was the sixth man for the Thunder and insist that things will work out because they want them to. But things have changed a lot since their Oklahoma City days and it will be interesting to see how Westbrook will adjust to playing a supporting role to Harden after being the face of the Thunder for years.
OUTLOOK: The addition of Westbrook to this team starring Harden gives the Rockets two of the league's most dynamic scorers and playmakers a year after Houston lost to Golden State in the Western Conference semifinals. If the pairing of is successful it could help the Rockets become an offensive juggernaut in the stacked Western Conference. While Harden and Westbrook will drive Houston's success, players like Eric Gordon and center Clint Capela will have to continue to improve if the Rockets hope to finally get over the hump and compete for their first title since winning back-to-back championships in 1994-95. | | UTAH: LAST SEASON: 50-32, lost 4-1 to Houston in Western Conference first round.
COACH: Quin Snyder (sixth season, 227-183).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Mike Conley (21.1 ppg), G Donovan Mitchell (23.8), F Bojan Bogdanovic. (18.0), F Joe Ingles (12.1), C Rudy Gobert (15.9)
KEY LOSSES: F/C Derrick Favors, G Ricky Rubio, F Jae Crowder, G Kyle Korver.
KEY ADDITIONS: Conley, Bogdanovic, F Jeff Green, C Ed Davis, G Emmanuel Mudiay.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: All eyes will be on Mitchell to see if he can emerge as a true All-Star this season. The third-year guard, who averaged at least 20 points in each of his first two seasons, won't have to shoulder as big of a load in creating the offense with Conley now sharing the backcourt. Gobert is a two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year and will anchor one of the league's best defenses again. He posted career-highs in points (15.9) and rebounds (12.9) per game a year ago. Bogdanovic adds a valuable shooter on the wing with Ingles that should give the Jazz an improved outside scoring punch. He shot a career-high 42.5 percent from 3-point range last season.
OUTLOOK: The Jazz are well positioned to take a step forward and become a Western Conference title contender. Conley gives Utah a veteran point guard who is a legit scoring threat in addition to a strong passer. Bogdanovic and Green will also shore up shooting and help Conley take away some of the pressure from Ingles and Mitchell to get it all done on offense. Utah's fortunes, ultimately, will rise and fall on the continued progression of the central star duo of Mitchell and Gobert. If the Jazz offense can catch up to the team's elite defense this season, few teams will be able hang with Utah as the season progresses. |
| | Harden, Westbrook might miss Rockets vs. Jazz
The Houston Rockets might be without stars James Harden and Russell Westbrook when they visit the Utah Jazz on Monday night. Harden, who leads the NBA in scoring with 36.1 points per game, did not play in Houston's 117-110 loss at the Denver Nuggets on Sunday because of a thigh injury. Westbrook, who had 32 points, seven rebounds and seven assists at Denver, has not played both ends of a back-to-back this season. In Utah, the Rockets will face the hottest team in the Western Conference. The Jazz have won 14 of their past 15 games and rallied for a 112-107 home victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday. During that 15-game stretch, the Jazz offense caught stride with their typically stout defense to allow Utah to grab first place in the Northwest Division and second in the conference behind the Los Angeles Lakers. "The way that we play and move the ball is obviously a way that we think works and it's successful," Jazz forward Joe Ingles said. "But I think if we find a mismatch or Donovan (Mitchell) is hot or Bojan (Bogdanovic) is hot, we've got a lot of stuff that we can run that gets them the ball quickly in our offense, and they're players that can create their own shot or a shot for others pretty easily. "I think we've got a good mix of both." The Rockets were coming off an emotional Sunday, when they played at Denver following the death of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter and seven others in a helicopter crash near Los Angeles. "I've got to be honest, I'm a competitor and obviously we cared about losing ... but it wasn't on my mind when we lost, us losing the game," said Rockets guard Austin Rivers, who spent part of four seasons playing for the Los Angeles Clippers. "You go back to reality, and the facts are we lost somebody that meant so much to all of us. And then you hear about his daughter. As a father, I've said many prayers for that family and I will continue to do so. "This was tough. I don't know how we played. I would start thinking about the game, and it would just snap back into my mind. We have to play (Monday), and I'm sure Utah will do a tribute. This pain is not going to go away anytime soon. You don't even have to be a basketball fan to feel this. One of the most competitive athletes, iconic athletes, and to be completely honest, more so as a father and what he's meant to that family. I'm going to pray for (his wife) Vanessa and the kids. May he rest in peace." "Today is one of the toughest days in my life," Rockets forward P.J. Tucker said. "To try to play today was tough. Kobe meant so much to the game -- period." --Field Level Media |
