Many people say that the Rockets in the new season are the most profound Rockets since this century. It is true that the lineup, from the starting five-man team to the substitute lineup, can be said to be quite strong, especially on the defensive end, which can be described as brutal. The Rockets can send out different defensive lines to curb their opponents, especially in the forward rotation, which is simply top in the league.

Some people will ask who is stronger and weak in the Rockets led by James Harden in the 25th season or the Rockets' peak in 2017? Let’s first compare the lineup. The Rockets James Harden and Chris Paul formed a double-gun in the backcourt in the 25th season, and compared the backcourt combination of Van Vreet and Amen Thompson in the 25th season. It can be said that the lineup in the 25th season was completely better than the 25th season. The Rockets in the 17th season of the forward group were only composed of Ariza, Tucker, Anderson and Bamot, while the Rockets in the 25th season of the forward group were composed of Jabarri Smith Jr., Durant, Fanny Smith, Tari Ethan and Okogie. It can be said that it beats the Rockets' forward line in the 17th season. In the 17th season, only Capela, Nene and Zhou Qi were composed, while in the 25th season, the Rockets' inside players Shin Kyung, Adams and Capela can beat the 17th Rockets. It can be said that in the 25th season, except for the backcourt, all positions will be completely defeated by the Rockets in the 25th season! However, in the 17th season, the Rockets' offensive ability is unmatched in the 25th season. After all, Harden and Paul are both offensive masters!

Which Rocket do you think is 17 or 25 is outstanding? I personally think the 17th season is my favorite one!
