After finishing 41-41 last season, but missed the game tournament with five Western Western Conference, there were questions about whether the Rockets could take the next step this season around a deep and promising nucleus.
They responded to this in a major way. Alperen şengün and Jalen Green remain a fantastic duo outside. Fred Vanvleet, Dillon Brooks and Steven Adams provided a solid veteran presence. Amen Thompson continued to become a double -meaning threat. Tari Eason and Jabari Smith Jr. offer a length and a ground spacing.
Are these rockets tied with the best pretenders to the NBA such as Oklahoma City Thunder, Cleveland horsemen or Boston Celtics? No, probably not, although they are a respectable 4-4 against this trio this season.
Rockets also have the experience of some of the Western teams behind them such as Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Lakers or Golden State Warriors.
But Houston goes up in the playoffs on a good note. The team has now won 13 of his last 15 games while trying to lock the seeded n ° 2. It is not a group that any team from the Western Conference will be delighted to face.
Rockets may not be ready to compete for the title, but it’s a very good basketball team. They will make noise in the playoffs, and the future is very brilliant in Houston.
