- Some bold predictions about the Houston Rockets, with Travis making the case that this could be the year they make a serious run at the Western Conference title-and maybe even the NBA Finals. They break down the breakout performances from Amen Thompson, the development of young stars like Alperen Sengun, and why the Rockets might just be flying under the radar as one of the most dangerous teams in the West. 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.

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.
It’s funny before game 2 I told Celtics fans that and they said they were without brown in Boston with amen and tari rockets won Celtics are great but the rockets are here man
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😮
17-6 on the road bro👍🏿
from one of the worst teams last season on the road to this big improvement
Thank you for this great video, you are really special at your craft. And hey, for those who don't follow the Rockets closely, that previous game that we were beat down by the Celtics, there was not Amen Thompson, no Tari Eason, no Jabari Smith Jr. and Adams wasn't himself yet and played only 7 minutes. Credit to the Celtics for taking care of business but I only wanted to offer a little bit of conext.
Go Rockets. 🚀
Dude on the left saying we can’t beat the grizzlies lmaooooo. We 3-0 against them this year
Lakers too!! Sheeesh bro on that cool aid!! Probably why bro copied bronny's swagg!
Never said they wouldn’t beat them. I clearly said they wouldn’t matchup with the Grizzlies in the playoffs because the Grizz are the 3 seed and the Rockets are the 2 seed. I was talking about opponents they could see in the 1st round.
@@Ountae ok hater 😂
@@0Er0 😂😂 let’s see it play out. I’ll be watching closely.
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
16-1 on the road is incorrect. Can’t remember exact number but it’s much lower than that. Agree with some of your points, but that one’s off.
This team is so improved from last year because they would’ve choked those leads they had
Houston is just so athletic and long. They have Amen listed at 6'6". He's at least 2" taller than Dillion Brooks. They stood next to each other after this game.
Amen's probably 6'8 in his sneakers
Rockets have a good defense with athletic and long players… combined with great coaching is a recipe for success…
Houston had guys out too bro. No excuses no explanations.
I don’t want to hear about alpren then… what happened the last 2 games?
That's a bold pick. I like it.
Isn’t this the same guy who said at the beginning of the season that the Rockets should trade Amen?? GTFOH
what a dumbass what a shitty take
That's what i thought.
I'm a Rockets fan, but 90% of their roster are playoff first timers. I don't think they'd win the west, but they give a hell out of a series.
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.
The rockets are a team own the rise,like the Celtics was 5 years,ago,lol,but the Celtics are just trying to get threw the season with no injuries,and the c can lock down any team own defense,so wake up Celtics fans, salute love the show,go rocket 🚀🚀🚀🚀
The Rockets are young everything can happen. Your bet is cool 1/50 is worth a hope of what you see
The Rockets can go ahead and win the West. That Mickey Mouse conference is only getting 2nd place when it matters anyways. No one's beating the Celtics in the Finals.
That NBA Finals "Runner-ups" banner will be cute.
I sensed no hate. Thats honesty.
When yall beat us at home we had no amen, tari, and Bari so that game didn’t count
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.
I’m a rocket fan and I want to see a healthy Dallas in first round of playoffs.
Finally an objective viewer. Rockets are good but need a little more consistent offensive firepower to get to where they want to be.
This team today is playing on a whole other level. Those tournament games performances would look different today
@@puppetmaster1052hey I hope you are right, especially now that Amen is in the starting lineup.
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!
it will be a good match up and tough
@@stevendo578 It would! Love what Houston is building! They remind me of OKC. Both are two young teams built on young talent. Making older vets far less valuable...
😂 waiting
Is that Will Anderson jr?
Not only Jabari was missing so was whitmore. If you gonna talk about Celtics 40 year old Al horford missing, mention a young and coming star like whitmore too; who’s scoring more than Horford in less mins.
Celtics beat Amen less and Tari less and Jabari less rockets team
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
Grizzlies beat them this year
@ for the first time in forever
@@theoperry3236Yall lost to the Nets tn too because you can’t shoot consistently. There’s a reason I brought up that point.
@ we lost to the nets because for one the rockets rely on energy and defense and that’s was most definitely lacking then sengun and Fred not being in the game when they literally run through sengun offensively and Fred controls the rock so played a bad defensive game with their offense out just was an ugly game I ain’t tripping tho teams lose sometimes
@@theoperry3236 12-39 certainly doesn’t help 🤷🏾♂️
Getting them at 16-1 to win the west is still good odds on your money.
No jabari or cam Whitmore in that game either🚀
If Houston Rockets and Boston Celtics play the NBA final, I will find you and buy you a nice bottle of Scotch. I am a Houston fan.
The reason Celtic beat them like that the first game anen Thompson was nit starting jabari was amen is different maker
Why he say obsessed like that lol
what is bronny yapping about get him back to the gleague
Yoooooo ever since I watched this video Rockets started playing like crap so I'm blaming you. No I don't actually believe in jinxes I'm not a 7 year old but I wanna take my frustration out on somebody so it's goin here lol. I like the content tho
I agree with the guy in the red shirt,I don't think the rockets will a series this year,but go rocket 🚀🚀🚀🚀,love the improvement wear we at, I'll take it right now
The clippers bro you are tripping lmmfao stop it please 😂
Lakers???? Boi STOP!!!!
😅😅😅😅 scoreboard my GUY
They could win the 2025 NBA Championship
No the rockets,haven't won a playoff off game,but if they do win the West it will be up to they coach,rockets second round out
Rockets are the truth, Şengün in the next Joker and Ime is the only competent coach in today's NBA!
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.
Umm agree OKC VS HOUSTON WEST FINAL..
Look never sleep own the nuggets, grizzly,ok,
If Houston taded uncle Jeff Green their average age would be first. Adams, Green, Brooks, and VanVleet hold the average up.
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
😂😂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😂
LOL, watch Harden try to get back, The Rockets would laugh, he too slow now.
OKC will beat them in a series.
Lol red shirt hater won't even come back and say he's wrong after Rockets win. Gtfoh
Man you sound ridiculous.. 😂 no wins in the playoffs??? Whaaat?!! You better look at the teams we’ve beat and how we’ve beat ‘em.. then come back and talk to us again. Somebodies higher than a giraffe 🥴 cloud 100.. 😂😂😂Somebody get this man a toothbrush and some breakfast cause he been sleep for weeks 😴 💤 HOUSTON ROCKETS!! WE HERE!! WE AINT BACKING DOWN FROM NOBODY!!
What are you a Rockets' hater?
😂 I’m really not
@@Ountae Prove it like your cohost...bet your house on the Rockets then. lol
@ 😂😂😂
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
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
You want to take that back? I don’t want to hear about people being out either because the Grizzlies and Nets were missing people too 😂.
We just gave away a game to Memphis
We won with defense and not a lot turnover don’t play 🔥🔥
