5 Teams That Could Dethrone the Golden State Warriors This Season

#2 - Houston Rockets

James Harden is continuing to smash up the board with mind-blowing numbers this season

The Rockets have been James Harden's team the last few seasons, and with how impressively and consistently he has performed, it's understandable why.

But the Rockets have done something different this season after picking up with Chris Paul from the LA Clippers. They have managed to get hold of one of the best point guards in the game, who's a proven clutch shooter, and one of the best assist makers in the league.

The questions were always going to be whether the two would gel together and whether Harden would be able to let go of his substantial ego to accommodate another big name in the team.These questions have been answered on the floor, with the two showing just how good they can be together, sharing the floor and the limelight.

With other big names and proven players like Trevor Ariza, Ryan Anderson, and Nene in the squad, the depth that the Rockets have is quite scary.

Having already soared to the top of the Western Conference standings with the best record all round in the league, this could easily be the year that the Rockets mount a serious challenge.
