Which Rocket has the most to prove this season? 👀

For me, it might be Jabari Smith Jr. Houston has added enough talent around him that his job should be simpler, but that also means the excuses are running out. Who’s your pick?Sep 22, 2026

The Rockets Rank Fourth, So Why Is Rafael Stone Only 13th?

the astros are tied for first with 10 games left and i'm not gonna lie i'm nervous...

Houston let the Royals climb back into that game last night and now Texas is right there with them atop the AL West. Espada said it himself — they've gotta win tonight. Feels like every game from here counts doubleSep 17, 2026

Three preseason games feels way too short for this Rockets team 😅

Two against Dallas in Macao, then one at home against OKC and that’s it. With this many new pieces and rotation questions, I already know I’m gonna need Ime to show us something fast lol. What’s the one thing y’all need answered before opening night?Sep 17, 2026

Alpi told Rafael Stone to communicate better, and Stone flew to Turkey 😂

https://www.instagram.com/p/DdM6sqyIG68/ I love that Şengün felt comfortable asking his GM for more communication, good or bad. Love even more that Stone listened and spent nearly two weeks with him. Ngl kindsa changed how I see Alpi’s leadershipSep 16, 2026

KD's bday is coming up! What do y'all expect from him at 38? And how should the rockets use him?

I feel like more responsibility should land on the younger guys in less demanding matchups, so KD isn't risked and is ready come playoffs personallySep 16, 2026

We're officially a month out from preseason- which player will y'all be watching the most closely? I've got a few in mind for sure, esp returning vets

Comment your player if it's someone else! Returning vets will prob only get a few minutes if any vs Mavs, but I bet they do make appearances vs OKC!Sep 10, 2026

KD just missed another 50/40/90 season last year, due to FTs no less- does he have another one in him on the Rockets this year?

Last year, he closed the season with 52-41.3-87.4.. SOOOOO close. Those missed shots cost the rockets a few games, so I bet he's been on that line for much of offseason. I'm hopeful!!!Sep 1, 2026

Rockets projected to land around 47 reg season wins this year rn- I feel like it'll be more with the bench additions and FVV back. Thoughts?

The won 52 last year without FVV and a weaker bench... I guess they've got a tough schedule this year, but still...Aug 26, 2026
