I'd like to formally apologize to Houston Rockets fans for ranking the team 8th in my latest power rankings: I'm sorry I didn't overreact to their fast start to the season, for still not totally trusting the offense, and for not fully believing in Ime Udoka’s ability to adjust on the fly. I hope you will forgive me, especially after every concern was on display in tonight’s loss to the Edwards-less Timberwolves. Sloppy turnovers, weird rotations by Ime, and questionable end-game scoring. Just like last year. Yes, their start to this season is encouraging. That is why they moved up multiple spots into a higher tier since preseason! But Houston has a lot more to prove to enter the upper echelon of contenders.
