SB Nation surveyed fans about the Houston Rockets’ season outlook, revealing that 55% expect the team to exit in the Conference Semifinals. Currently fourth in the Western Conference, the Rockets could face the Nuggets in the playoffs, where their stronger Net Rating may help, although Nikola Jokic presents a significant challenge. A matchup with the Spurs could follow, posing difficulties due to Victor Wembanyama’s defensive capabilities. While the Rockets have a slim chance of winning the title, expectations remain realistic.
