With an easier schedule coming up, the Rockets should start improving record wise.
Look at this example:
Team A plays the Lakers, Celtics, Heat, and Nets. Team A loses to the first three teams by 3 points each, but blows out the Nets by 40. Then, you have Team B, who plays the Nets, Wizards, Clippers, and Lakers. Team B beats the first three teams by 10 points each, but gets blown out by the Lakers by 40. Who is the better team?

Hmm...well losing to the Wizards certainly doesn't help that case....
