Asked by Houston’s SportsRadio 610 about the Rockets’ 2014 championship chances, Morey urged perspective.
“I think there are probably at least three teams better than us if not more,” he said, hardly the type of restraint offered a year ago in Los Angeles, before the Lakers’ Howard, Steve Nash and Kobe Bryant succumbed to injuries.
“Until you’re going into a season felling like you are the top one or two, I think it’s, and we haven’t really accomplished anything, I think it’s hard to talk about, ‘Hey, we’re one of the favorites to win the championship.’ But I do think we go in with a chance, where as we haven’t in the last few years.”
And, yes, he has the Heat a step above, when asked if the Heat, Thunder and Spurs were the three teams he was referencing.
