Rockets looking real good y’all!👀🚀

THE HOUSTON ROCKETS ARE LOOKING SCARY THIS SEASON! 😳🚀🔥

The Houston Rockets put the entire NBA on notice with a dominant 135-117 preseason victory over the Dallas Mavericks! This team is absolutely STACKED with talent, and the craziest part is that Kevin Durant didn’t even need to take over for Houston to dominate. Everybody contributed, the ball movement was beautiful, and the Rockets showed just how dangerous their depth could be this season. 😭

🔥 Alperen Şengün: 16 PTS, 10 REB, 10 AST
🔥 Tari Eason: 20 PTS, 9 REB, 2 STL
🔥 Fred VanVleet: 17 PTS, 7 AST, 2 STL
🔥 Reed Sheppard: 16 PTS, 60% FG
🔥 Jabari Smith Jr.: 12 PTS, 4 REB
🔥 Kevin Durant: 15 PTS, 58.3% FG, 1 BLK

What’s terrifying about this Houston Rockets squad is that Kevin Durant can comfortably give you 25-30 points on any given night, Alperen Şengün is developing into one of the most versatile big men in basketball, and Tari Eason is looking like an absolute PROBLEM on both ends of the floor. Add Fred VanVleet’s leadership, Reed Sheppard’s shooting, and Jabari Smith Jr.‘s versatility, and you’ve got a team that can hurt opponents in so many different ways. It’s only preseason, but if this roster stays healthy and builds chemistry, Houston has the potential to make some SERIOUS noise in the Western Conference. Are the Rockets legitimate championship contenders? 👀🏆
