The Houston Rockets went to the playoffs last season, and this year the mark is set even further. Over the offseason, they added Ryan Anderson, and Eric Gordon two experienced players they hope they will give them the edge they need. It's no doubt they hope Ryan will help stretch the floor, as he's an ace from the three-point line. Eric Gordon adds to the long-range arsenal, he is also a good three point shooter that will help on the offensive side.

Let's not forget about got Nenê, he's a big man they hope will fill the void of Dwight Howard leaving for Atlanta. James Harden signed for four years, which is great for the Rockets' future, and Clint Capela has a good looking future ahead of him too. The organization is looking forward to seeing what he can do. Sam Dekker excelled in the NBA Summer League, last year he had a back injury so we didn't get to see what he could do. This year it looks like he's going to bounce back from his injury. Micheal Beasley also led the Rockets 2nd in points last year. Beasley also did very good in the playoffs. Patrick Beverly did good in the playoffs as well. He said that he believes Harden will win MVP and bring them to the NBA Finals. Corey Brewer said that Harden will play better defense this year. Most of the Rockets players are thinking finals, which is where you need your head at.

My Prediction

I personally think the Rockets will make the playoffs and go semi- or conference finals. They will win 47 games and I'm looking forward to seeing the matches against the Warriors, Spurs and Thunder. I think that the Rockets have a shot this year and will bring the city of Houston a ring soon.
