    Patience pays off. Don't freak out after each loss and try to trade and fire everyone. Stay the course, keep growing, developing, and getting better each season.

    What matters is where a team is trending long-term. these 22 year olds haven't even scratched thier prime potential yet

    A shocker what consistency, upfront defensive coaching and professionalism can do for a young team.

    Same thing happened to the Orlando team.

    They just need to replicate that over the next 5 years.

    Hopefully we're stuck in the We're back phase mostly this year, the first 10 game was more like this :p

    Last year was Udoka's first year. The team got a whole summer to learn his offensive and defensive scheme. This team is legitimately much better than last year.

    Anything less than 20 games is not worth consideration. People were saying JG had become a full blown superstar 5 games into the season and that Sengun was a bad contract. 15 games in and look how things are actually shaping out.

    It’s a young and talented team. There will be ups and downs during a long season; but these Rockets look every bit a playoff team.

    I know the Rockets may have had an easier schedule to start the season, but they’ve dismantled several of those team that in the past would have been a likely win, but very close games. And some of those loses were huge comebacks by the Rockets that came up short.

    Maybe it is too early to say but we are showing an example for the league how to build a team from tanking to competitive in the four or five year

    The average team is not going to get Udoka after 2 years and not getting top defensive and good offensive players like Tari and Amen.

    Not to say Sengün at the 16th spot.

    And the Rockets are doing this without getting dudes like Wemby or Luka, that is impressive though.

    It’s bringing back the old school championship logo instead of spaceships with teeth or bleeding “R’s”.
