    ...mature with age and the playoffs approaching.

    The 15 W streak is impressive...

    But the Rockets post-all star break are beyond impressive. They are beastly.

    6th consecutive 10+ point win.
    3 wins over +.500 teams.
    Win differential since the All-Star Break: +16 :eek:

    Damn, I am a happy man. :)

    They are playing with major confidence, and intensity....

    Since Scola was inserted into the PF spot in the starting lineup...15-0....

    THe Rockets just keep proving the talking heads wrong....this team w/o Yao Ming has played......outstanding and is easily scoring over 100 a game...and playing championship caliber defense, something I haven't really seen from alot of western contenders,except the Spurs.


    This team can beat anybody, even without Yao...it might be harder, but this team has alot of heart, great young talent, and players who can make things happen.

    Another nice thing to look at is that we aren't letting teams get back in it in the fourth quarter. We've even had such a solid lead that we could rest our starters.

    No way we miss the playoffs.

    How?

    About half the teams in the NBA are over 500, right? ... So 3/6 is 1/2... I don't see any glaring problem there.
