Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Houston Rockets fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
Most of us expect the Houston Rockets to improve this season. Last year’s .500 ball club will be looking to take a leap into the postseason this year. But development doesn’t always happen on a linear trajectory.
Maybe they improve a bit and become a Play-In team. Maybe they take a huge leap into contender. But maybe injuries ravage the team or several players stagnate and the Rockets don’t improve much.
But the Western Conference is a nightmare either way. Will the Rockets improve enough to get through it with a playoff spot? An NBA Play-In Tournament spot counts.
Thanks for voting. We’ll be back soon with results.
