It’s the first Rockets postseason in four years. Where does it end?
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.
Well, here we go, y’all. The Rockets are back into the NBA Playoffs for the first time in four years. It’s a lovely occasion, as Houston surprised mostly the entire NBA world (myself inlcuded), in finishing with the number two seed in the Western Conference. If you told me before the season that the Rockets would finish number two in the west and lose in the first round, I would’ve said the season is a success. I still feel that way. No matter what happens in the playoffs, the 2024-2025 NBA season was a success.
But it’s human to want more. And we certainly do. Houston has a tough road. They’ll either play the Golden State Warriors or Memphis Grizzlies in round one. It’s likely they get the Lakers in the Semis, then maybe OKC in the Finals. But if there’s one thing about the Western Conference, I turly feel that any of these teams can beat just about any other one at any time. Surprises may (and likely will) occur. Why can’t one of those continue to be the Rockets?
Anyway, we want to know where you think Houston’s season will end?
