Houston Rockets Toronto Raptors

The Houston Rockets have played better than anyone could’ve expected. They’re coming into this afternoon’s game with a record of 13-9 and are tied for 5th in the West. They’re not just beating up on the weaker teams either. It speaks to the commitment of the players and to Adelman’s ability to have the team performing at such a high level without Yao and McGrady seeing a minute of action this year.

Contrast that with the Raptors who may have to do without the services of Jose Calderon for an extended period of time. I don’t think there are many Raptor fans who believe the team is capable of playing well for a prolonged stretch of games with an injury to one of their starters. I can’t imagine what would happen if two starters were injured. To be fair, the Rockets were a much better team to begin with but watching these two teams play just emphasizes the truth of that age-old idiom of hard work trumping talent every time.
