before the trade i had houston finishing dead last. with the addition of harden, i think they'll improve some, but definitely not enough to make playoffs.
my prediction was;
thunder
lakers
clippers
nuggets
mavericks
spurs
grizzlies
timberwolves
- -
jazz
warriors
suns
blazers
kings
hornets
rockets
i think they'll definitely finish with the a better record than the hornets. good chance they beat out the kings also, maybe even the blazers, but that'll probably be a close finish.
