Rockets toying with the league now They tested themselves by deliberately going down and seeing how they perform in the clutch with a game winning shot and still won CHampions
Holding EG out with his sore left knee was a wise decision. We missed his presence. GG took us home in the end. If EG is feeling better before the Spurs game, put him in for 20 minutes. Keep Nene and Black ready against LMA. Capela needs to be ready for all challenges. Ryan and he are letting the team down.
EG is supposed to play tomorrow vs the Spurs. CP3 and Nene are still questionable. I honestly hope D'Antoni doesn't go overboard with the rest heading into the postseason. The team was not sharp at all against Phoenix and you don't want that happening in Game 1 of the opening round. At least play your rotation guys against the Spurs, Blazers, and Thunder. Stay focused against possible playoff opponents. Rest players against the Wizards, Lakers, and Kings though since none of those teams matter.
Rest Harden as well. Let SA grab that 4th or 5th seed. I would like the Rockets to get some revenge(assuming Kawahi comes back).
No one sadly is available to address the backup 5 spot. Wright could not get fit. Black isn't enough. It's not easy, but this is a failure on Morey's part. Codman mentioned on more than one occasion, that Nene wanted another big. The first time that I read about it was a few months ago.
good question. i haven't heard anyone says it hasn't happened before, which makes me think it has happened. obviously we're talking independent win streaks, but funny to think the '72 lakers had 3 11 game winning streaks in a row.
