Rockets are just a proof of concept of hustle anarchy. They have very few drawn-up plays and a lot of the guys are very similar in size. The team just hustles its buns off and its paid off. They still cant beat many talented teams and hustle ball tends to fade out over an 82 game season, but they are way overperforming at this point because of sheer hustle, chemistry and talent (even if a lot of it is at the same position)

Suns are 10th in reb diff, 2nd in spg but amazingly have the 4th worst opponent FG% from 2 and 3. They are just third best in FG%, and are shooting 46.3% from three as a team which is the real secret. I'd contend that no team that is in the bottom 5 in defense can continue to win at such a high pace and that the Suns will not continue to shoot the three at the ridiculously high rate of 46%+. The Sun will set.
