The Houston Rockets are on a 21 game winning streak and have won 25 of their last 26 games. A closer look at their schedule shows that they have beaten some of the worst teams in the league.
I am not impressed with their win streak at all. It is not like they faced a Murderers' Row of good teams such as Boston, the Lakers, and the Pistons. Who cares if they can beat losing teams like Charlotte, Minnesota, Milwaukee, Miami, and Memphis?
How about beating Indiana twice or Dallas on the road when the Mavs were without Dirk Nowitzki? Only seven of their 21 wins have been on the road and 12 teams they played were from the weak Eastern Conference. Their best victory on this win streak is against the Hornets on the road.
This win streak just shows how watered down the NBA is. There are more bad teams than good teams and some teams in the Eastern Conference probably will make it into the playoffs without a winning record.
The Rockets will be lucky to win one playoff series in April. They will miss Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady won't be able to do it all by himself once again. They have a lot of good role players but most of them don't have any playoff experience. No one knows how Luis Scola, Carl Landry, and Aaron Brooks will perform in the playoffs.
The city of Houston should enjoy this win streak because they will have a hard time making any noise in the postseason without Yao. The win streak will end eventually and probably sooner than later.
They should be able to defeat a Lakers team without Pau Gasol on Sunday
but the streak will end next week at home against Boston or on road against the Hornets, Warriors, and Suns. In fact, they might lose all those games. Houston, celebrate this great streak now because no one will remember or care about it next month when the playoffs begin.

you are a complete IDIOT. look at today, they beat the shit out of LAKERS, they have won 31 out of last 34 to be exact before they were 16-17, so what now?? D Wizzle is stupied ass mutha focker.
LOL I said they would beat the Lakers without Gasol.
I would love to hear back from you in a few days when the Rockets lose to Boston, Hornets, and Warriors possibly. I doubt the Rockets will even win one playoff series!
Don't forget The Rockets has no "Great Wall" so its a even wash on both side, I think you are the biggest IDIOT on the web. (Sports Web)
Doesn't look good at all for the Rockets tonight lol
you still an IDIOT, you are a high school kid try to be big, Houston will win more after their lost to Boston, Boston is hot like Houston, they just beat San Antonio and not Houston, so when a team is hot is hot, is not overrated. what about Warriors lost in Kings, and Heats beat Bucks....
fuck this web site, what a waste of time, I better go ESPN or foxspsorts.com
Why do u call me an idiot?
The Rockets LOSt again to the Hornets tonight by 21!!!! They will have a tough time beating the wwarriors on Friday night!!!
I am no high school kid, I am a certified NBA expert.
The reason the Heat defeated the Bucks was because the Bucks are just not that good. Their coach should be fired.
As for the Kings game last night, The Kings are very physical and the Warriors are not. No one on that team could stop Artest and Monta Ellis didn't play any D on Kevin Martin. Look for Warriors to win tonight over the Clip Joint!
