3. The Houston Rockets aren't satisfied

A team can have more than one goal. The Rockets wanted to improve this summer. With an increase of 19 wins, they improved more than any other team in the NBA.

That's great. The Rockets also wanted to compete in the play-in tournament. They failed to accomplish that goal. As fans, we shouldn't hold that against them. How does Ime Udoka feel?

"“We fell short of the goal. A 19 win improvement is a big step for our guys, but we strive for more” "
Ime Udoka

That's great. The Rockets are not patting themselves on the back. Sure, they improved this year - but they wanted to win more.

That's likely what they'll do next season.

4. The Houston Rockets want to be consistent
