Phew! They're only 3rd place in the NBA.com rankings. That should prevent any jinx this week.:grin: http://www.nba.com/powerrankings/?ls=iref:nbahpt6e
Then the Clips should be ranked higher since they are on a 7 game win streak which includes clinching home court advantage against the Rockets.
That would be a good parallel for your beloved Pacers. Started out hot, then the wheels fell off when they went up against high powered offense and they couldn't score enough, with Paul George playing Matt Schaub.
Hopefully, the Rockets will be hungry and humble and not let these incredible wins and media praise get to their heads. Did Parsons really say the team thinks they're the best team in the league? No need to give their opponents bulletin board material, if true.
What's impressive, yahoo rank has spurs and rockets 1 and 2 then 9 and 10 the maveticks and grizzlies to topoff the the top ten. Four from our division in the topten. Our division is sick.
To be fair, as a competitor you have to think you're better than the rest, and the Rockets play recently shows validity in that belief.
