If this doesn’t get you hyped for Rockets basketball I don’t know what will
Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta is leading an expansion bid that would land Houston a WNBA team, per @AnnieCostabile
WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert said Houston is “up next,” and their bid is reportedly preferred by the WNBA if the $250 million expansion fee is paid
Reminder that Alperen Sengun became the first Houston Rocket to make the All-Star Game since 2020 last season
The future of this team rests in the hands of Sengun, and if he continues to develop the way he has, Rockets fans have nothing to worry about 🚀
Houston may try to limit Kevin Durant's workload during the regular season, per @BinkleyHoops
Despite Rockets GM Rafael Stone saying that Durant will play as much as he can manage, KD may be held out during back-to-backs or when Houston has three games in five nights
The Rockets have a chance to spoil OKC's ring night and establish themselves among the NBA's elite 🔥
Anyone else excited for Opening Night? https://t.co/m6pEdlFUAl
Alperen Sengun is 22 with All-NBA potential and just made his first All-Star game
Karl Anthony-Towns is already 29 and is an absolute cone on defense
Give me Sengun over Towns by a mile https://t.co/NPKFM6qM09
Bleacher Report ranked Houston’s new big three as the fourth-best in the NBA in their recent article
Houston was a +26.8 last season when Alperen Sengun and Amen Thompson shared the court without Jalen Green 👀
Putting them with Kevin Durant is described as “the perfect fit”
Amen Thompson was ranked as the seventh-best SG in the NBA in @hoopshype’s latest article
Former Rocket Jalen Green was ranked as the 13th-best
Thompson was described as a “slippery guard with great size, strength and athleticism,” with All-NBA potential if his shot improves
Kevin Durant comes in with a 91 three-point rating for NBA2K26, the second highest behind his former teammate Steph Curry
Love to see KD getting the respect he deserves
