HOUSTON ROCKETS 2024-2025 NBA SEASON DISCUSSION

Amen might have a shot at MIP.

 

We still have part of our MLE if Brogdon did become available, correct?

 

True he's probably top 5, but it's such a runaway for Atkinson there is no real race.

 

That would be sick

 

IMHO it is time to embrace the youth completely and move the veterans to the back seat.

Start Amen - bench FVV
Start Tari - bench Brooks
Start Jabari
Start Alpi
Start Jalen

I don't think Tari will be a starter any time soon with his current physical condition.

 

Yes, please

 

I like Williams but he’s hurt too much. Would rather Jonas or Vucci Mane.

 

Officially halfway through our schedule with a .68 win percentage and on pace for 56 wins.

 

If so, the Clippers are on pace for a 50 win season shorthanded as they are.

 

Our record is only a half game behind the NBA champion Celtics.

 

Harden should be apart of mvp conversations

 

Fourth best point differential and record (tied with the Celtics in the loss column)

The most brutal stretch of the season is coming up:

DET
CLE
@ CLE (start of 3-games-in-4-nights gauntlet)
@ BOS
@ ATL
@ MEM

I hope Udoka doesn't run the team into the ground to secure a high seed.

Looking at the schedules of other teams, worst case... even if we go 1-5 or, God forbid, 0-6, we would still be fourth or fifth in the West with plenty of games left.

 

I came into the season expecting 46-49 wins and likely getting dispatched in the first round, and I would have been happy with that.

Now if we don't make the second round I'll be disappointed. If we can avoid OKC a conference finals trip feels absolutely on the table.

Not a bad trajectory. Still work to be a legit title contender, but things have come along brilliantly this season.

 

For sure, I am waiting on the Playoffs to see if some of the stats are for real though, I mean in a setting of higher intensity.

The Cup was a good test but the Playoffs are another animal.
