The Houston Rockets Are The Main Threat

We always knew the Rockets were good, but we never knew they were this good.

For almost three years, the Golden State Warriors have claimed the crown as the best, or one of the best, teams in the NBA and it was never even arguable.

However, this year, the Houston Rockets are putting their foot right into their door, and they're looking to knock that door down.

As of Wednesday, March 7, the Rockets extended their streak to 17 straight wins after a 110-99 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.

So, let's just get it out of our system --

The Rockets are nasty.

I mean, you have All-Star and elite passer Chris Paul at point guard, MVP candidate James Harden at shooting guard, NBA veteran Trevor Ariza at small forward, tough-guy P.J. Tucker at power forward and dominant baller Clint Capela at center.

With this kind of starting lineup, it's almost terrifying, to be honest, and it's amazing how easily these players have clicked with one another this past season.

This season alone, Harden is averaging 31 points, five rebounds and two assists while Paul is averaging a solid 18.9 points, five rebounds and 8.1 assists.

When Paul got traded to the Rockets, we all knew that this pairing was going to be ridiculous, but we didn't know it was going to be that ridiculous.

And it's not even like Houston is beating the easy teams or the teams they're "supposed" to beat, they're beating really good teams.

Ten of the 17 wins have come against teams with winning records and more than half aren't even at home, they're away.

Moreover, the Rockets aren't just about offense, they're about defense as well.

Whether or not Houston can last against Golden State in a seven-game series is the question, but, for sure, there's nothing that says they can't compete.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
