It’s been a fun run, but all good things must come to an end.
When Chris Paul went down, we looked at Houston’s upcoming schedule and saw nine straight games against playoff teams, with most of those being teams at the top of their respective conferences. I’ll admit that I wondered (internally and aloud) if the Rockets could win three of those nine games. To me, 3-6 against this murderer’s row would have been more than fine.
Well, you know by now that the Rockets have won all five of their games in that stretch so far, behind the otherworldly play of James Harden and the arrival of Austin Rivers via signing and Nene via not being injured anymore.
