The Houston Rockets made tremendous improvements to their roster this summer. Bleacher Report is predicting them to match their 2024-25 record anyway, and it makes sense.
Some Rockets fans are seething. How does that make sense? The Rockets flipped Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks for Kevin Durant, Dorian Finney-Smith, and Clint Capela. In what world does that not make them a better team?
It will make Rockets fans instinctively angry. The entire purpose of this summer was to improve the team. How could anyone make the argument that the Rockets didn't accomplish that goal?
Let's give Bleacher Report's Andy Bailey some room to plead his case.
