The Rockets have been struggling lately, where do you think they’ll finish out the year?
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.
This week’s SB Nation Reacts question wanted to know where you felt the Rockets were going to finish in the Western Conference. With the team slumping right now, this question is perhaps more pertinent than ever. Houston currently sits in fifth place and are 1.5 games out of fourth, while they hold a three-game lead on the sixth-place Golden State Warriors. Here’s what you thought:
As you can see, by a slim majority, most of you felt Houston would either stay where they are or fall back yet another slot, while many of you still feel that top four would be doable. Granted, this poll was given last week, before Houston’s current three-game losing streak, which may have swayed some voters. I have Houston pegged for fifth or sixth also. Though with the Dubs surging and the Rockets struggling, sixth is becoming an increasingly likely possibility.
