Basing it solely on teams above 0.500, Rockets remaining schedule this year is slightly harder, with 16 games vs teams above 0.500 remaining. 13 games under 0.500 remaining.
In contrast, last year's Rockets had 14 games remaining vs teams above 0.500. Should also be noted that after securing the 2nd seed last year, Rockets punted their last 3 games, which was all against above 0.500 teams.
On a positive note, based on Strength of Schedule (SoS), Rockets are ranked 25th. Western Teams vying for playoff position at the 2nd to 7th seed have harder schedules. DEN is 1st, MIN is 3rd, PHX is 8th, SAS is 9th, and Lakers are 14th. OKC is 2nd if you're curious.

the good news is we are better vs teams >500
Good content. Appreciate this info cause I was thinking about where we were compared to last year but too lazy to do it myself.
Uhh am I tripping or is there one more game for the 25-26 side
Okay, so if we are “about the same” as last season.
Do we also expect another 1st round exit?
Will you all be happy with that?
Is this what we truly believe the best we can be, even with the injuries?if not, what’s stopping us from reaching that potential?
49-33 and 5th in the west.
