    The Houston Rockets are historically an upper-middle-class NBA organization. Let's be honest. The Rockets aren't the Lakers, Celtics, Spurs, Warriors, or Heat. They aren't the (with apologies) Wizards, Hornets, or Kings either. In evaluating the fullness of each franchise's history, the Rockets are closer to the top than the bottom, but they aren't among the elites either. The Rockets have typically been competitive and occasionally contended. They won back-to-back titles in the 1990s.

    The Houston Rockets will not sweep the 2024-25 NBA season's individual awards. There's no MVP candidate on this roster. Alperen Sengun has an outside shot at making the All-NBA Third Team, but it doesn't feel likely. There's no Most Improved Player candidate, and Amen Thompson has started too often to factor into the Sixth Man of the Year race. Speaking of Thompson...

    Alternate title: SpaceCityScoop author completely contradicts himselfThe Houston Rockets have surpassed expectations in 2024-25. Fine - that's an understatement.

    The Houston Rockets landed a star player in the 2021 NBA Draft. They didn't do it with the second overall pick. Forgive me if I'm overly cynical, but it's hard to imagine Jalen Green achieving NBA stardom at this point. He is, to borrow from the Hot Hot Heat, consistently inconsistent. In the aggregate, the result is consistently poor. This piece isn't about Green. It's about the aforementioned star.

    The Houston Rockets have gotten very little from Jalen Green in 2024-25. The Houston Rockets are 13-6. Sometimes, life is funny. The prevailing assumption has been that for the Rockets to progress, Green would have to lead the charge. Alperen Sengun has been producing like a star. The Rockets knew they had a dynamic wing rotation. They've been a star guard away from a playoff appearance. Well, the Rockets didn't get their star guard. They're distinctly on pace to make the playoffs anyway.
