Memphis or Houston: which team is more legit?

[Im Still Ballin]

Houston is currently 2nd in the West, 14-6, one game behind OKC, and has a +8.5 average point differential. Memphis is 4th, 13-7, two games behind OKC, and has a +8.4 differential.

Memphis has dealt with a lot of injuries to start this season. I think they're better.

[Neal Romer]

Probably similar potential, Memphis maybe has the higher ceiling but Rockets seem to be more stable in terms of player durability.

[ArbitraryWater]

Grizz easy.

Grizz have been at it since 2021/2022.

For now, houston. Coach udoka and fred vanvleet have been to the finals before so i guess that will help them later on.

Rockets paying veteran role player glue guys like Adams Brooks and VanVleet to go with all that rookie depth could pay off in a title this year

[Akeem34TheDream]

I would feel real comfortable against Grizzlies in a playoff matchup. They have even less top talent than Rockets. Ja would get locked up by Amen Thompson. Would be a fun and intense series though.
