Moreso for Memphis as they're already 0 and 3 for the season vs Houston.

Morant needs to go ballistic or go home and beat up on 17 yr olds.

Houston ain't no joke.

Rockets look super exhausted and banged up, Memphis was furious about losing those two, I think it will be a tough one for the rockets.

I don't know another team in the NBA more likely to surprise you though.

Well played Memphis. They dug deep and got the win.

Houston lost by one and missed the game winning shot.

It happens...

This team is hungry!

I don’t if they can do anything this season to improve. But the offseason they should go after Brooker hard.

I seen this before a team that depends on fast breaks that come off their defense and offensive rebound will always have a low ceiling.

Great young core in desperate need of a closer.

They'd be great if someone like KD were in Jabari's slot, i'd put them as contenders.

Don't they control Phoenix's draft picks? That team is absolutely screwed, and getting their picks back is the only way they can start a proper rebuild.

If I'm Houston, I'm holding the Suns over a barrel this summer and forcing them to trade me Booker.

They are overperforming this season, but I am not sold on this weird offensive rebounding stat. I am not sure if this is sustainable or something that other teams can hone in on, and cut off, in a playoff series.

IMO we still need to make some trades to balance the team.

Fortunately we have a trove of trade assets, including many juicy picks from other teams. Just a question of who becomes available.

I think they're 3-8 since this thread was made.

So, nice jinx OP I guess.

Their half court offense looks weird and that hurts a lot in the playoffs unless you are playing unreal defense leading to a huge amount of fastbreaks.

Houston keeping their powder dry and making a statement when it counts.

Udoka got them firing on all cylinders!

Solid but who's their go-to guy in crunchtime?

The Rockets currently have the #9 pick in the 2025 draft.
Thanks to Phoenix.
And Brooklyn.

I don't watch the Rockets much but they are by far the biggest surprise this season. I keep hearing about this amen thompson dude. Are rockets fans higher on him than Jalen green now?

Pretty much.

I'm pretty high on Jalen Green still though. But Amen has definitely surpassed him in the pecking order.
