The Houston Rockets are known to be star-gazers. (If that's a word). Historically, they've been successful at acquiring Hall of Fame worthy players. And certainly All-Star players.
Are you having fun? Good for you. I’m not having fun. I hate it here. (Not TheDreamShake. I love it here.) The Rockets just have not felt fun in 2025-26.

Tuesday night inside the Toyota Center wasn’t about style points. For the Houston Rockets, it was purely about survival.

It wasn’t pretty, and of course it couldn’t be easy, but “win” is still a much sweeter word than “loss’. The Rockets broke their losing streak, and more importantly got off the road, which seemingly caused small problems to snowball downhill, getting bigger as the trip went on.
The Houston Rockets have been reeling as of late, having lost three consecutive games, all of which came against sub-.500 teams. This made their Tuesday night clash against the Chicago Bulls at home all the more important.

Kevin Durant is one of the greatest scorers in NBA history. There’s no question about it. No one debates it. Because there’s no debate to be made.

Make no mistake about it, the Houston Rockets have been playing some of their worst basketball in recent weeks. Since the end of November, Houston has fallen short in many of the traits that made the team elite during the first quarter of the season.
After the Houston Rockets hit a slump through most of December, a stretch of victories to close out 2025 led most people to believe they'd get back on track.
The Houston Rockets have been on the road for most of the past month and a half. To begin the season, the Rockets had one of the easiest schedules in the NBA, with multiple days off between games, only one back-to-back to start, and, for most of the season, the fewest games in the entire NBA.
