<p>Things are looking awfully good for the Houston Rockets, even if they continue to struggle with some of the best teams in the NBA.</p>
<p>The good news is that it looks like, barring an unforeseeable collapse, the Rockets are going to make the playoffs – partially thanks to the Mavs and Jazz not taking advantage.</p>
<p>The bad news, however, is that the Rockets probably won’t make any noise in late April. Even if the Rockets climb to the 6th seed, there’s no way Houston is going to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder. Much less the Spurs or Warriors.</p>
<p>Either way, from where this team was this season, making the playoffs is something they can feel good about.</p>. (33-33). Previous: 14th. Houston Rockets. 14. team. 169
