Show Notes
As the start of the 2025 NBA Playoffs approaches, the Rockets are currently the fifth-best team in the Western Conference. However, Houston is on a three-game losing streak, and other conference foes are inching closer in the standings, threatening the Rockets' postseason position. The Golden State Warriors have gone 9-2 since trading for Jimmy Butler in early February, and the Minnesota Timberwolves are regrouping with injured players returning to the lineup. The Warriors are the sixth-best team in the Western Conference and are within three games of overtaking the Rockets for the No. 5 seed. Golden State holds the season tiebreaker over the Rockets. With the Warriors and Timberwolves on their heels, can the Rockets string together some wins to distance themselves in the standings ahead of their first playoff appearance since 2020?
