We pretty much demolished every team coming from the East coast in the last 2 years. The exception being Miami and Indiana. With the next 4 games out of 5 against EC teams (Toronto, Philly, NY and Boston) can we continue our domination? We got another game against a bad Denver team.
We certainly have the talent but got a pretty huge coaching deficit so I think we can win if not out-coached too badly. TT has to end and Lin needs to play about 10 more minutes a game. Harden should probably sit the road trip out and recover.
Frankly, it would be pathetic if Rockets lost to the Raptors. Philly might give a fight, but they're extremely lacking in talent department, so is Boston. However both Philly and Boston have already upset Miami this year, so who knows. With Chandler out, Rockets should try targeting their frontcourt, which is Bargnani at C (LOL!) and Stoudemire. If all goes according to plan, Rockets should decimate them with Howard. So yeah, it could easily go 4-0. Absolute nightmare worst case scenario is probably 1-3.
Could this run come at a better time.. The rain clouds over the GARM will clear with a 5-0/4-1 stretch PLEASE don't screw this up..
Raptors play aggressive and they have some guys that can give us trouble but it should be a win because we are flat out better.
I think the only team that is really reeling are the Knickerbockers Philly is a surprise for sure. Toronto, Boston have average/below average records but they are hungry Denver is bad but young
On paper with an average coach we should comfortably beat all those teams. Problem is we have one of the worst coaches in the league who gets outcoached on a regular basis.
