Well the Rockets have been equally injured as well. Only 3 games where Wood, Wall, and Oladipo have played together.
I don't know they look discombobulated. I know unicorn has been hurt and in and out of the lineup. The spacing isn't nearly as good as last season too. Richardson for Curry was a silly swap. Also for all the flak the media gave 13 for appearing to be out of shape Luka looks fat as **** and not a peep. The difference is his game is being affected by it.
Wow, I still think we are under construction and at the deadline we will look completely different. There is a lot to believe in as is; but we will grow even more by subtraction and addition. We are better then I thought we would be already. Being a Rocket fan.
I think there are only 4 teams that’s are a lock to make the playoffs: Lakers Clippers Jazz Nuggets Next tier is a free for all: grizzlies (young and unpredictable) Suns (I don’t think they have enough) Spurs (former all star vets and a great coach that has only missed playoffs once in 2 decades) Blazers (injuries could derail them again) Warriors (steph wiseman and Wiggins? I’m not afraid) And of course Rockets (top defense with multiple former or borderline all stars and a deep bench) We could separate ourselves into Tier 2 Class A above those teams. I wish we hadn’t played our Lakers series games already. Would be nice to see them match up against these rockers — get a better since of how close we are.
I knew it was going to be somebody that would say Portland, that's why I said fully loaded. Portland was missing 3 players. Not a true test.
Grizzlies hold the longest winning streak 6, followed by the Rockets 5. Somebody's win streak will end this week.
Lol what.... the Suns were a good 9th place, they had a bad start last season but ended the season in the bubble strong with a 8 game streak. Ayton was out the first 30 games due to failing drug test - doping. Without that hammy. I think people start being condescending towards other teams again because the Rockets have a winning streak. Happens every year. People forgot about the first 10 games.
The team just needs top 10 to be in the playoffs if including playin games in that equation. This team is clearly top 10 in the west.
Portland was missing Nurkic, CJ, and Covington...that was a skeleton crew we beat, it wasn’t an impressive win and we barely beat them, so it wasn’t a thump
