    You're sooo lucky we don't play till Thursday. I think jinxes have a three day expiration date.

    Winning both. Boston played 2 more, going 1-1. Golden State played 1 more...losing it.

    Not sure why you are defending the indefensible. 3rd ranked Rockets. My god. It's an embarrassment.

    Record is one game off dude.

    When records are that close, look at pt differential to see which team is truly the better team.

    The Rockets and Warriors are in a league of their in terms of pt differential.

    Makes sense. They are separating from the pack. The Spurs are the only team that potentially can reach that echelon due to them doing really well without their MVP talent playing.

    We get three back to backs over the next four weeks thanks to this break time

    dude the rockets are blowing the crap out of teams.. Most games are over by half time that we have played since the raptors game.. we still haven't reached our full potential.. I know the same can be said for cavs and spurs, but we have earned the number one spot.. celtics lost twice in their last 8 games, and barely got by the suns at home..

    The jazz play 2 games before they play the rockets Thursday. The rockets should be very well rested. Both teams also have to fly to Mexico City.

    This week will be a good test for our streak with Jazz and the blazers on the road, I am not worried about the win streak, I am worried about to 15+ point blow out streak that we are on.. I see us beating the blazers by 13 :) those blazers are pesky..

    Power rankings power rankings - Dec 4

    1. ESPN.com

    Moved the Rockets up to #1 from 2, great week for THE PANEL

    1. CBS

    Another strong performance by Chris Barnewall, keeping the Rockets at 1 for the second straight week. Co leaders.


    1. NBA.com

    Red hot John Schuhmann recognizes greatness when he sees it and boosts the Rockets to #1 from 3.

    1. USA Today

    AJ Neuhart-Keusch leads America's leading hotel paper to another strong week, moving the Rockets up to the top spot

    5. Nola.com

    Times-Picayune shows why it's a local media publication, leaving the Rockets at #3.

    5. SI.com

    It gets ugly at the bottom of the list with the Rockets mired at 3rd. Abandon hope all ye who enter.

    This is because warriors are coasting to hurt our SOS/SRS.

    It is ridiculously unfair.

    now it's cruise control, we are going to have tough games later on. It's hard to judge how good we are, we are beating these bad teams with our eyes closed.

    The Rockets have peaked. They will most likely go winless until Thursday.

    I'm terrible at math.

    Does this mean Kyrie for president?

    ESPN rankings are a joke.

    Thunder belong nowhere near the top 15. Yet, they're ranked #14 ahead of Jazz, Pelicans, Knicks, Pacers -- teams that all have better records than the Thunder.
