Nicole Obrien+FollowDurant’s arrival could supercharge Houston’s young coreKevin Durant isn’t coming to Houston to take over—he’s here to lift the Rockets’ young stars even higher. Coach Ime Udoka says Durant wants his new teammates to keep playing their own game, not just defer to him. With the Rockets already a playoff threat, adding a two-time champion and elite scorer like Durant could be the spark that makes them a true contender. If the team’s youth and Durant’s experience mesh, Houston might finally have the perfect mix of energy and leadership. How do you think this new dynamic will play out next season? #Sports #Basketball #HoustonRockets40Share
Ryan Lopez+FollowPat Bev nearly reunited with RocketsPatrick Beverley was just a contract away from rejoining the Houston Rockets, working out with the team for weeks this offseason. Salary cap restrictions kept the reunion from happening, leaving fans to wonder what his veteran presence could’ve brought to the young squad. Meanwhile, Amen Thompson is turning heads—he’s already making All-Defensive teams and being projected as a future Hall of Famer, despite not yet being an All-Star. With so much young talent and almost bringing back a fan favorite, how do you see the Rockets’ future shaping up? Would Pat Bev have made a difference? #Sports #Basketball #HoustonRockets10Share
Beth Holland+FollowThe 1995 Rockets Title Run Was Absolutely InsanePeople talk about “best rings ever”… but the ’95 Houston Rockets might have the most absurd championship run in NBA history: Faced the 4 best records in the league: 62-win Spurs, 60-win Jazz, 59-win Suns, 57-win Magic (avg opponent = 60 wins!). No home court in any round as the 6th seed — won a record 9 road games. Came back from 3-1 vs Phoenix, winning 2 elimination games on the road, including OT in Game 5 and a Game 7. Beat the #1 seed Spurs by taking Games 1 & 2 in San Antonio — then won every game in Texas. Swept the Finals vs Orlando, who had just taken out Jordan’s Bulls. Hakeem & the Rockets pulled perhaps the most legendary team runs of all time. #NBAHistory #HoustonRockets #HakeemOlajuwon #NBAChampion #Sports 13327Share
FromTheLand+FollowCan Kevin Durant lead the Houston Rockets to a surprise run in the West?The Rockets were the 2-seed last year behind elite defense… and now they’ve swapped Jalen Green for Kevin Durant. On paper, that gives them a legit shot — a polished scorer to pair with a gritty young core. It might sound wild, but KD as a dark horse out West isn’t impossible. #KevinDurant #HoustonRockets #NBA #WesternConference #DarkHorse #Basketball #KD #RocketsNation #Sports 20Share
Ryan Lopez+FollowHouston’s under-the-radar NBA move could change everythingThe Rockets’ blockbuster Kevin Durant trade grabbed headlines, but it’s the low-key addition of Dorian Finney-Smith that might quietly transform Houston’s season. With his reliable 3-and-D skills and a 41% 3-point shooting rate last year, Finney-Smith brings exactly the kind of bench firepower the Rockets have been missing. Considering the team’s struggle from deep and the loss of Dillon Brooks, this affordable four-year deal could be a game-changer. If Finney-Smith keeps up his shooting, he could be the surprise X-factor that pushes Houston into real contention. How do you see this sneaky signing impacting the Rockets’ playoff hopes? #Sports #Basketball #HoustonRockets20Share

Theresa Boyd+FollowDurant joins Rockets, but Sengun’s heart stays with GreenKevin Durant is officially a Houston Rocket, but it’s the emotional side of this blockbuster trade that’s got fans talking. Alperen Sengun opened up about how tough it was to see Jalen Green—his close friend and teammate—head to Phoenix. Sengun called Green right after the news broke, telling him he hopes this move fires him up even more. While Houston is buzzing about Durant’s arrival, there’s a real sense of loss for the young core that built this team. How do you feel about trading away a homegrown star for a legend? #Sports #Basketball #HoustonRockets01Share
Ryan Lopez+FollowRockets’ risky trade: Will Cam Whitmore haunt Houston?Houston’s summer was a slam dunk with Kevin Durant joining the Rockets, instantly boosting their championship hopes. But the excitement comes with a twist—Houston traded away promising young talent Cam Whitmore to the Wizards for just a couple of second-round picks. Whitmore had clashed with his role last season, and with Durant’s arrival, his minutes would’ve shrunk even more. Still, if Whitmore shines in Washington, will the Rockets regret letting him go for so little? This move could be one we look back on and wonder what might have been. What do you think—smart move or a big miss? #Sports #Basketball #HoustonRockets00Share
