    I think the Rockets are way better than their current record.

    Even after the terrible start to the season, the multiple injuries to starters, and all the new acquisitions, we are still only a few games from being the best team in the nba..

    I would even say we are a better team than last year and we are on a roll at the right time.

    Wow. Number 2 defense in the league since the All-Star break? I didn't even realize that. I'm definitely feeling good about this squad again though. I really want the Spurs in the 1st round though. If I had my way we'd face the Spurs, the Jazz and the Warriors. I want to beat all of the teams I hate the most. I don't care who is easiest.

    Yeah, they've been playing so much better at that end of the floor. It's easy to overlook that because they still give up over 100 points a night, but that's the new normal in the NBA.

    18-4 since the break and firing on all cylinders. We should be feared by all.

    Remember when half of Clutchfans had a meltdown after the trade deadline? I wish I had the search skills of @DonKnock, may he rest in piece.

    We still have our big three from last season and a majority of the same team going into the playoffs. Not much has changed, other than the preposterous opinions of several media clowns who don't watch the Rockets night after night.

    • Since Super Saiyan Mode started (the 30ppg streak), last 54 games ...
      The Rockets have the most Wins in the NBA (tied with MIL), and 2nd fewest losses, by 2.

    • Since Benching Melo, after just 10 games, Rockets also have 2nd Best Record, and 2nd fewest losses

    • Since Benching Melo, Rockes ORtg is off the charts at 116.1. No team in NBA history has ever been above 115.

    Speaking of knee jerk meltdowns reminded me that earlier this year it was 100% clear to DD that the Clippers had passed us up and were clearly more serious contenders than the Rockets.
