Rocket's just got owned. I knew they'd lose at least 1 of the next four. Probably lose a couple more. I think their luck's finally ran out.

They didn't win by luck, they took their chances and did well.

Tonight, Yao would have made a BIG difference, but c'est la vie. Boston just played much better.

I would LOVE to see Lakers v/s Celtics in the finals honestly. 2 very complete teams that play defense and play inside and outside well.

I'm telling you. They played mostly scrub teams, and got lucky against the 3 or 4 good teams they played during the streak. Over the next four games (this one included) you'll see just how good rockets are.

Rockets are a good team that'll make the playoffs, but they aren't by any means a contender. With or without yao ming.

I think Rockets would have done much better with Yao. If you watched the game, the Rockets couldn't do anything at all with the ball, they were so awkward and had no person to fall back on not even Mcgrady.. Its like they were all role players and T-Mac looks slow, hes suppose to be the superstar and create offense for the team through his offense. Celtics #1 Defense.Defense wins championships! no1 on the Celtics could match up with Yao though and that would create some offense for the rest of the rockets....

So are you saying the Suns are as good as the terrible patch they were in when the lost to everyone and their grandmother? Or are they as good as they have played recently when they have been playing consistently? (Shaq playing great tonight, again :D )

The Rockets had some really good wins and regardless of how good or bad the teams were, on ANY given night, ANY NBA team can beat any other team. They won 22 in a row. Give them some credit.

Everyone stepped up and they played pretty solid defense and knocked down their perimeter shots.

Not even the Bulls in their 72 win season came close.

lol, the Suns have a 6 game stretch where they go 50% after making a MAJOR adjustment to their roster, and then they win 5 in a row? rofl, yeah that's a "terrible patch."

Rockets deserve some credit for sure. They did something amazing. All I'm saying is they're not nearly as good as they're made out to be. Defiantly not contenders.

Rockets got blown out again. Next up warriors then phoenix. I predict a 4 game losing streak.

Yea I saw. I had a feeling they would lose again.


I don't think they will lose against the warriors. The Suns though, that will be a good game.

Hey, I'm actually rooting for the Suns now that they have Shaq :D (I've been rooting for his teams since he was at LSU) so I am not exactly trashing the Suns here buddy :)

Just saying that what the Rockets did, with whom they had... I think it should be applauded for a long time, regardless of where they finish.
