Why Houston Could Be the Dark Horse That Makes Dallas’ Star Player Irrelevant
Undoubtedly, the person with the most to lose in this series is Kevin Durant. Durant, the star sharpshooter, has looked great this season and is the go-to scorer that Houston desperately needed a season ago. However, the team wasn’t better than last year, and the team definitely was missing a point guard to guide the team. Fred VanVleet’s injury may not have seemed devastating at the time, but I do think it hurt them more than most realize. The team still ended 22 games above .500 and the middle groups weren’t separated by much so two games could’ve made this a home series for the Rockets instead of heading on the road. Ime Udoka will come into the series as a favorite, and probably a deserving one. After losing to Golden State last year, the Rockets need to advance this year.
