The Houston Rockets are running out of wiggle room for their season, but whether or not they make the postseason this year, they are leaving this season with respect from their opponents.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry has seen it all with the Rockets' ups and downs, but he believes the team is trending in the right direction moving forward.

“They will probably be a problem to deal with in the next couple of years,” Curry said postgame.

The compliments from Curry are nice to hear, but he may have knocked in one of the final nails in Houston's coffin for the season. The Warriors' win over the Rockets on Thursday created an even larger gap between the two teams for the final spot in the Play-In Tournament.

Simply put, the Rockets will need a miracle if they want to make the postseason and they will need an epic collapse from the Warriors, who are playing some of their best basketball of the season as of late.

As for the Rockets, they need to remain perfect and hope the Warriors slip up in a major way. That probably won't happen this year, but in the future, the Rockets may already be in the thick of things at this point in the season if Curry's sentiments are correct.

The Rockets are back in action on Sunday as they visit the Dallas Mavericks. Tipoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. CT.
