What you think about KD becoming a Rocket and what’s the expectations of the upcoming season?
15 comments
Much needed closer. Hopefully he can crack the Al Star team and help this team go on a playoff run.
Excited but wish he was about 3 years younger. Expect WCF or better.
Expectation: OKC vs HOU in conference finals. Winner goes on to waltz away with the championship.
So efficient, his scoring will raise our ceiling massively. Expecting a big season from Al P now too. Genuinely think there’s a good chance we secure the #1 seed if we can stay healthy enough. Only the playoffs will matter though and who knows how that will go
I think so as well OKC and Htown WCF showdown
Wcf
WCF game 7 at a minimum. Can’t wait for the season to start! Go Rockets!!! 🚀
Trying to keep my expectations realistic… he plays 70% of games. He’ll have nagging injuries here & there.
Will lead the team in scoring, easily.
Team is going to rely a lot on KD iso.
Going to struggle offensively when he’s not on the court.
Expectations is a legitimate shot at a championship
I think WCF minimum.
I expect lots more dumb responses to antagonistic tweets.
I think bro wants us to join his group
Don’t see a world where we lose to a team that’s not okc or the nuggets, so depending on that I’m excited
The expectations are at worst a wcf 7 game series or title, anything less is a failure with this roster and coaching staff.
KD’s primary impact on offense will be replacing JG’s and Brooks’ highly inefficient shots with highly efficient ones, as well as helping Alpi, Jabari and Amen to get better shots with the gravity KD will create for the opposing D.
And we have such elite D and rim protection that our biggest difference should be margin of victory. My favorite quote from Morey in his Rockets days was “the best way to win close games, is not to have them.”
OKC is still the team to beat, but I really like our chances.
