7-4 so far. Assuming no big upsets or an equal number of upsets each way, Rockets record will likely range from 10-8 to 11-7 for this 18-game stretch now. Hawks game being a B2B during a very tough few games now may lower that a game to 9-9 to 11-7. Haven't seen the last game, but the stats suggest the defense had another bad game while the offense continues to do well.
10-5 in a stretch that thedoubters thought would break the Rockets. Only 3 games left against the NBA Top 4 teams in the season.

11-5. Safe to say, the Rockets showed they were real. Unbelievers had the real test after that. Rockets succeeded. This real real test has been passed with flying colors along with the 6 game losing streak accusations disproved.
Assuming Memphis pulls out all the stops to avoid a sweep, you nailed this, except the part of not being on the level of the Cavs or Celtics.
This streak highlights the importance of depth. Everyone wants to kick the expirings and role players for a max contract but in reality people get hurt or are unavailable and we need quality depth. Jabari broke his hand, Tari is out again, Adams has ankle soreness. If we didnt have depth we would be reduced to Nfaly Dante backing up Sengun lol. Tate, Landale and Holiday, unless we get clear upgrades they should be kept on this team as reserves due to their low cost.
