ey had won something like 16 straight. I'd like to stand by my prediction, so I will. That said, the Rockets impressed me with their win today, their 22nd in a row. They are just a very solid team all around. It all starts with their defense in my mind. Teams are struggling to put up 90 on these guys. I understand that the Lakers were without Pau, but they are still among the league's elite. Game in, game out this team plays like a team.They are getting stellar effort out of all their players ( and only two from the image above). Sup Chuck Hayes? Whats good Bobby? Dikembe been nice and lord knows the Spurs probably still think about their dealing of Luis Scola to a division rival. Personally, I am not a fan of this team, but I'm respecting what their doing. If you believe that defense wins championships, then you should put your money on the Celts or the Rockets. In the West however, this likely won't be enough. It will be interesting to see how far this team goes. Keep in mind, my quam with their team since Yao went out is their need for a secondary scorer. Tonight, it was Rafer Alston who stepped up and who knows who it will be next game. I believe that responsibility lies on the shoulders of Tracy McGrady. It's up to him to create shots for his teammate and initiate the majority of the offense. Though they may not be the most talented, the Rockets are on the second longest winning streak in NBA history. That is some elite company, and when you look at the cast that is doing it, you can't help but be impressed.
An NBA analyst for 'Christians Thoughts' sums it up nicely;
"Winning 22 in a row in the face of roster shuffles and crippling injury is astounding. They're the first team without 2 consensus top ten all-time players to win 20 straight, so they're playing remarkable basketball"

They waived Gerald Green too. There's something fishy about that kid, he seems talented, he must be dumb as a brick.
