2024-2025 Houston Rockets thread - Prepare for Liftoff 🚀 [Now Featuring Kevin Durant]

- It’s painfully obvious why Whitmore hasn’t been playing more. The guy doesn’t play team defense or offense. When his shot isn’t falling, his only elite skill is crashing the boards and dunking junk around the basket. His ball handling isn’t above average so I question his ability to be prolific driver. I think he’s talked/played his way out of attractive trade bait. I’d love to get a conditional first for him, but that’s not happening. Maybe he’s a piece we can package in the next big move.

Are you going to get a better player than Cam with a conditional first round pick? I think he needs more coaching and PT but has undeniable talent.

    Sooooo, I’m in the Amsterdam Airport and ran into this tall dude sporting Rockets gear.  I introduced myself and he said his name was Clint.  Man, he was as nice and gracious as he could be.  I told h

I think we could get a better fit or maybe a Euro Stash with high upside.

Cam is one of those guys that would immediately score 20+ every night if he was starting for a bad team. He's an immature player right now, but he's still so young. Would hate to see him blossom somewhere else, but I understand if the organization tries to trade him for a piece that gets us closer to championship contention. 

 

 

 

 Awesome analysis on Adams' impact on this team.  Dude is still a fucking mountain in the paint that almost nobody can match in strength. I hope we see some of this in the playoffs.

Adams was a great signing and has fully delivered on the court. Love him. 

 

We traded for him at the deadline last year. I think he will be even better next year as he gets healthier. The Rockets should do everything they can to resign him, unless they can get the C from Portland that played for Ime in Boston.

Those charts are hilarious. What a monster. Seems like he would be a great locker room guy for a young team too.

Team Stay Teady about to take a 30 point L. Basically Green is the only regular playing tonight. I think even Tate is out. 
 

Lakers need a win to clinch to the 3.

So glad Whitmore is healthy. That Harden foul was so much dirty bullshit. 
 

Yet Silver would rather get hair plugs than fine him. 

 

it's his time to shine 

Not here to troll (like I have on occasion in the Astros thread).  But if the Lakers win, we pretty much lock the 3 seed.  Then this would be the round 2 matchup.  I think it would be a close series.  But I think the Lakers would take it in 6.  Luka and LeBron in the playoffs will be hard to beat.  But I think Adams in the middle would be a problem. 

What does Ime says during these timeouts lol.

Uhhhhh yeah guys just calling a timeout so it looks like we are "engaged". I really don't care wtf yall do so yeah go fuck around and shit

For the record i think the West playoffs is gonna be a bloodbath and could see pretty much any team winning a 7 game series... except maybe Kings unless they are fucking playing the rockets....and the Mavs

Cam gonna score 40....we gonna lose by 20

Oh shit 25 pt lead its safe to put in Bronny lmao

Lmfao wtf was that....fumble the ball then drop a shot off top of backboard like a boss

See yall in the 2nd round.  Where we will will in 6.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to have the maybe best 

Luka is just rounding into form.  I’m so we got him. But we have him, and are now the best team in the west, when it comes to playoff experience.  We have to be top 4 chances to win this.S

Watching Luka on the Lakers really makes you know the league is rigged and corrupt. 
 

NBA so desperate for a return to their 90s peak they flat our engineered a trade rape. 
 

Hard to take it seriously and think there is anyway the NBA lets the Rockets win in the second round after forcing a superstar next to their falling star James.

So where does the suns pick need to land in the lottery for the rockets to get it? 

Don’t we have it already with the Suns missing the playoffs?

I should have stated this better. The Suns winning potentially gives us a worse pick. I was hoping they’d lose out. 

Finally some rockets playoff basketball. Feels like an eternity since I’ve been actually pumped for some playoff basketball

We are gonna end up playing the fucking Warriors aren't we?

Getting ragey already

Playoff Jimmy Butler concerns me. Doesn’t scare me, but he can be a problem. I hope they get bounced in the play in. 

Here’s an updated look of the Harden/Nets trade with the Suns pick falling in the lottery:

James Harden for:

2022 — FRP #17: Tari Eason
2024 — FRP #3: Reed Sheppard
2025 — Top 9 projected pick
2027 Suns FRP
2027 Nets FRP swap
2029 Suns and/or Mavs FRP

(@BradeauxNBA)

if the pick stays at 9-10, i'm intrigued by Kasparas Jakucionis.  but i fully expect the pick to be traded if they don't move up into the top 4.

If the miracle happens and the Rockets get the number one pick…..

Trade it for a superstar?

Draft Flagg, then who from the current roster is traded?
