    Heat 0-4 before beating Rockets. Now on an 11 game winning streak.

    Celtics 0-3 before beating Rockets. Now on a 7 game winning streak.

    Thought that was an interesting turn.

    What Rockets are best at is giving other teams mad confidence.

    Rockets doing their part in giving to the NBA community

    Always a generous and charitable team

    We gave them our winning streak because sharing is caring.

    What is the longest winning streak by a team that didn't finish the streak over .500?

    Miami has 11 in a row, and still not close to even.

    This is going to be a shocker, but we're a pretty good team - better than all but 3 teams - and those two teams caught us at the worst possible time.

    The Rockets are the corner for teams to turn.

    The Rockets prefer dangerous corners.

    (obscure theatre reference!)

    Beating a good team like the Rockets gave them a jolt of confidence. Kind of like what happened after we won at Golden State.

    There's a very real chance they come into Toyota Center a week from tonight on a 15-game winning streak. Their next 3 before that game are at Brooklyn, at Philly(which may be without Embiid), and home vs Orlando.

    It would be fitting if their streak began and ended with the Rockets.

    I wonder how many players have had their season and career highs vs us this year. We could turn Sean Bradly into a Hall of Famer.

    Yes we're so terrible. One of the bottom 27 or 28 teams. So sad.
