I am not really surprised by the Rockets' losing streak. Seriously, without Yao or a real low post scorer, your jumpers will eventually stop falling. They barely beat the Warriors just now, but I think tomorrow's game @ Phoenix is going to be a real test for these guys. Even without Raja Bell, I think the Suns should have more than enough to beat the Rockets soundly.
Onto the eastern side of things. I think the Nets really have no interest in making the playoffs whatsoever. After beating the Hawks in the last game and got the head-to-head tie-breaker in the process, they gave one away to the Nuggets. I checked out the Hawks and the Nets' remaining schedule, and it looks like the Hawks have a MUCH easier one down the road. The Nets have 8 more road games, they only play non-playoffs teams 4 more times; while the Hawks have only 6 more roadies and they have EIGHT more games against non-playoffs teams. After tomorrow against the Magic, they have 5 in a row against non-playoffs teams. Seriously, I am rooting for the Hawks right now.
Only Sissies Cry. Real Men Stand In The Rain and Listen to V-Rock!
