Well one never really knows. Nets are a playoff team that supposedly got their coach ousted. Atkinson is a Popovich protege and since Pops walks on water in the NBA basketball universe....it's forbidden to oust one of his proteges. But yet they did. It's easy. If the Rockets win again while playing harder and climb the ladder of seedings on these final 17 or so games. Then it was a legit team slump at a bad time. If the Rockets lag around acting quirky winning some games while losing some games in a lackadaisical manner pedaling around the counter to Nuggets seeding.... Then I am right that the Rockets are messing around knowing they have tie breakers over Mavs/Jazz. (3-way tie breaker over Mavs/OKC/Jazz)
