Travis is betting on Houston’s future, and he’s convinced that if they keep playing like this, they could upset some of the league’s top contenders. Could the Rockets really go all the way to the Finals? The guys dive deep into Houston’s potential and why it might be time to start taking them seriously as a Western Conference powerhouse.

Isn’t this the same guy who said at the beginning of the season that the Rockets should trade Amen?? GTFOH
17-6 on the road bro👍🏿
😂😂if I was you I would make him a bet rockets get out of the first round 10 to 1 odds 😂😂🎉 I made one with my hater friend too he rolls with teams that are winning since I know him you two remind me of our arguments and bets😂
When Celtics blew them out the Rockets were without Amen, Tari, and Jabari. That game isn't a blowout if they plat, but I think they can come out the West, as well.
The Rockets are young everything can happen. Your bet is cool 1/50 is worth a hope of what you see
Remember Chet has not been playing. The Thunder have one of the most impactful players coming back to the line up in a few weeks. No trades will impact a team as much as Chet Return! Rockets would need a KD to make that upgrade comparable to Chets return. Rockets are coming but you have jumped the Shark if you think they get past a healthy OKC!
The Rockets have so many young stars, they have to ship players to the lower level league and when these kids get there they dominate. We have plenty of studs on the bench, watch them in the near future, man are they fast😮
When yall beat us at home we had no amen, tari, and Bari so that game didn’t count
Dude on the left saying we can’t beat the grizzlies lmaooooo. We 3-0 against them this year
Rockets didn’t have Jabari or Cam. Keep saying stuff will never happen again. Rockets beat the Thunder with Fred dropping 38. Bunch of ‘analysts’ for years keep saying what the Rockets won’t do. We know you guys are never right. Shout out to the believers
Celtics beat Amen less and Tari less and Jabari less rockets team
This team is so improved from last year because they would’ve choked those leads they had
Let me turn this off. We beat Memphis 3 times. What a joke!
We didn’t have 3 players the 1st time we played Boston.
I said the same thing in the offseason, after seeing the roster i said we could be a top 4 seed and look now LMAO
Thinking that the rockets needs to rely on brooks hitting 10s threes clippers lakers grizzlies haven’t beaten the rockets yet this year 😂 keep doubting the rockets
Rockets have a good defense with athletic and long players… combined with great coaching is a recipe for success…
I’m a Rockets fan and I agree I don’t think they are ready yet to win in the playoffs. I saw them play in those NBA Cup games when it matters and it was like they didn’t know what the word offense meant, it was brutal. It’s been a great season so far, can’t take that away from them but yes they do need a couple of shooters and I think they will be on their way. They really don’t have to do anything crazy or break up the team.
Houston had guys out too bro. No excuses no explanations.
Get his @#$ some glasses because he CAN'T see.
Get his @#$ some glasses because he CAN'T see.
Lakers???? Boi STOP!!!!
😅😅😅😅 scoreboard my GUY
Bro a full time hater lmao I don’t thing he has been paying attention to any of the games this year lmao idk man bro might just be trolling aha
Tell this idiot defense win games and guess what the rockets have the best defenders in the game. Boston is the only team that can matchup with the rockets. But I think Ime can out coach Mazzulla nevertheless
Umm agree OKC VS HOUSTON WEST FINAL..
Your friend thinks the rockets won't beat the clippers in the playoffs?? DudeIs such a hater.Call me as no idea what basketball is bro. You're not watching this team like really watching this team. We're the number one defensive team number 1 in offensive. Rebounds, and we can afford to make a tread for adjordan clarkson, or a role player, but even if we don't, we're winning a couple series. You would take playoff, James harden. This is coming for someone who loves James. Former rocket always a rocket, but you clearly don't know basketball. Oh, I'm just saying if the timberwokves was tomorrow.
