might be better for Rockets if Adam ushers LAL to 7th or 6th seed, ensures that we can fight for the last play-off spot fairly [less ref intervention]
Awesome winning streak no doubt, but now the competition will be getting real. With the exception of one game vs. the Jazz, the next eight games are against the Thunder, the Mavericks, the Timberwolves, the Warriors (come out to play), the Heat, and the Magic. It's going to be fun.
I may or may not consider that more important than us actually making the playoffs, even better if Jalen does a turnaround 3 and then kicks Curry square in the nuts when we play them.
Its a shame we are not a mere 3 or 4 game ahead of where we are. I say that in light of the fact that the Suns, Clippers, Warriors and Lakers have all been disappointing and trending down here late in the season, mostly. If we were 3 or 4 games better, we would be in the midst of them and trending up instead of down. One a more positive note, maybe its telling us that if we can improve just a bit next year, we might very well be in that clump of teams.
