    Is it just me or is this what elite teams normally do? Have the Rockets finally gotten their mojo back?

    KJ and Harrell getting more minutes, DMo gradually coming back, and Beasley being a clutch late acquisition has given the roster a much needed refresher.

    Before the season started, the Rockets were considered by many to be a championship contending team primarily because of their absurd depth. It's about time the coaching staff utilizes it.

    This is what happens when you stop playing worthless scrubs like Lawson, Jones, and Smith.

    They make a run for the playoffs and probably in the playoffs

    I think it is too late this year but they can still be good for an upset

    Providing that Beasley is continuing with his play and Goudlock is a lock from the bench

    I'd settle for a 6-7 game series with OKC. That's about as high as my expectations are going for this team.

    Turning the corner!

    No, mediocre teams occasionally win.

    Upsetting OKC in the first round might be the clincher and nabbing KD in the summer

    Winning at Toronto and Boston is definitely legit.

    If they aren't going to tank, may as well make a strong push to the playoffs.

    We a squad. Let's get okc and see what we can do. Especially since kid and Westbrook could go down at any moment (not hoping for it just saying)

    That's my thinking on it or that it would certainly help. Especially if Westbrook ruins a game or two.

    Which elite team in the league gave up 128 points to the Bucks the last two weeks?
