    The Clippers are currently on a 16-game winning streak and look very capable of topping the Rockets record. Their next 6 games are against some pretty decent teams so it might just end soon.

    vs Jazz
    at Denver
    at Golden State
    vs Los Angeles
    vs Golden State
    vs Dallas
    vs Orlando

    This comes as no surprise but I sure as hell hope they don't beat the Rockets record. Not just because I love the Rockets but because I really hate the Clippers. I hate how they get away with so much crap. They flop like no other team in the league and continue to get away with it... I also hate Lamar Odom.

    I think Denver will beat them as Denver seems to be unstoppable at home and are on a recent surge.

    it would be fitting if they were at 21 and then played the rockets....and got obliterated by 50pts.

    If Denver doesn't do it Golden State definitely should. The second game of a back-to-back against a fast paced team on the road. Not to mention Golden State has been on a tear all season.

    I was hoping for that too. Rockets play them a couple of games after their possible 22nd win in a row.

    That schedule is pretty formidable. I can't see them winning the next 5 games.

    The Rockets don't hold the record. The Lakers won 33 in a row in 1972.

    Rockets are second all time.

    I doubt any team will ever beat that record. I meant the Rockets 2nd place record of 22 wins in a row. As a fan of the Rockets we don't have too many accomplishments to hold on to... recent accomplishments I mean. I'd like us to at least hold on to this one.

    For the Rockets' playoff hopes sake, I hope they stomp any team in the west, until they get to us :D.

    Especially because it was so memorable and characterized the "underdog" status we've had for a couple years now. Many fans of other teams have recognized the Houston Rockets to be a team that always competes ever since (rightfully so).

    That 3-game stretch would be tough to sweep right there.
