Rockets PREDICTIONS: Can Kevin Durant & Alperen Sengun LEAD Houston To Postseason SUCCESS?Houston Rockets look to ignite a second-half surge, but will their easier schedule translate to a top-three Western Conference seed and a deep playoff run? Record predictions, longest win streak calls, and playoff seeding debates set the stage as Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by weekly cohosts Madison Moore (@MadManLeaks), Brandon Scott (@brandonkscott) and Ben DuBose (@BenDuBose) to analyze Alperen ?engün’s impact and whether Kevin Durant can lead a young squad to postseason success.The roundtable dissects Western Conference power rankings, with hot takes on Thunder, Spurs, Nuggets, Timberwolves, Lakers, Suns, and Warriors playoff positioning. The hosts question if the Rockets’ young core—including Amen Thompson and Reed Sheppard—can build winning habits and avoid being exposed under playoff pressure. Trade deadline decisions, injury setbacks for Fred VanVleet and Steven Adams, and what defines a “successful postseason” for Houston are front and center. Will the Rockets finally break through, or does a bigger overhaul loom?#Rockets #NBA #KevinDurant #AlperenSengun? Subscribe On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/LockedOnRockets?
