After a breakout 2023-24 season that saw Houston break away from losing records after three seasons in the red, the Rockets will try to take another step forward and move from mediocrity (last year’s 41-41 record) into a winning campaign, their first one since the 2020 Bubble season.
It’s all about continuity in Houston. The Rockets are armed with a promising young roster and some semi-veteran leadership, as well as a game-changing coach in Ime Udoka who finally (not quite, but almost) brought Houston out of the murky losing waters of the NBA.
The postseason push is a must this season for the Texas-based club.
