    I'm fine if we improve to 30 wins honestly. That would be good enough for bottom 5 and some percentage chance at 1st pick.

    I don't want to be the worst team again.

    Rockets will be champion in 4 years time not only because of Jalen and Jabari but also fantastic mid-first rounders Alpi+Tari.

    Rockets can't be as bad as Spurs,Pistons,Magic this year and likely will finish higher than OKC. and Charlotte. Lots of people were saying that Rockets would regress after mid-season EGordon trade but it won't happen also.First no one wants to cede a first rounder for Gordon, secondly newcomers KJM/Tari playing better than Eric.

    This team can beat any team in NBA if not mismanaged. OK, not in a 7 games series but still can resist to any franchise for any given night.Too much potential. They need to taste "sweet success" more often. Success and failure are habits, contagious. Success is the only way to lure star FAs off-season. Next drafts 2 picks and 2 signings (1 in 2023, 1 in 2024) and the squad is ready for the ring.

    Dont use the Texans slogan on the Rockets, that's trademark infringement.

    And when they don’t? It won’t take April to finally realize they’re not in it. Don’t worry though you’re thread will continue to get bumped just for this

    It's definitely a bold prediction. I suggest don't rub it in if the Rockets miss the play in by like 2 games. Small chance but that scenario wouldn't be a win for you because you are claiming it won't be even close.

    I'm sticking to my original idea that the Rockets possibly can get to 30 wins due to schedule lightening up while teams start to load manage more for the playoffs.

    What two months can change.

    Now folks are happy with 20 wins and that is not even a given.

    y’all do this sh*t every year just for the Rockets to end where they always belonged which is at the bottom of the league

    who can forget people thinking that fake win streak led by Wall and Wood immediately post-Harden trade was real

    who remembers that laughable “put your tanks away, this is a playoff team” thread from last year…straight up comedy central

    now this thread

    One can't help but notice that certain people in this thread aren't very active recently.
