5 NBA teams that could narrowly miss the playoffs

John Wall and Bradley Beal – Washington Wizards

#5 Houston Rockets

Houston Rockets

Yes, you’ve read it right. It is the Houston Rockets who could miss the playoffs this season. There is a time bomb in Houston and it can go off anytime soon. With firing of the head coach to the drift between Howard and Harden, you know there is something fishy happening.

They are 5-5 in the last 10 games and have lost important games to teams below .500. This could mean nothing and Rockets can turn it around while competing for a higher seed in the western conference.

But we cannot turn down the fact that they might be fighting for the last spot in the playoffs if they continue to degrade and decay like they are now. It is tough to watch Rockets lose despite having a solid team and the amout of talent in that roster is abundant.

Rockets are finally having a healthy Howard and for that matter a complete healthy team, it is time they put everything together to see how far they can go with this team. Because you know there would be some offseason moves and things would be shaken up in Houston this year.
