The Lone Granger Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 After five consecutive wins, the Houston Rockets have moved from 11th to ninth in the Western Conference, from 3½ games behind Memphis to two games out of the last playoff spot. But little else has changed. When the Rockets head out on a three-game road trip with 10 to play, they will be in almost must-win peril. "I told them we started something on the road, now we have to go out on the road and win," coach Rick Adelman said. "That's what we have to do to keep this going. http://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/wiretap/photos/2006/Adelman_Rick_hou_091218.jpg "The pressure is on to keep winning. That's what we tried to do after we lost to San Antonio. We had a tough game with Phoenix and we won it. We beat Boston. Now we want to keep this rolling." The Rockets' season-best five-game home winning streak has kept them in the race, but no one who had been in the fight before the Rockets' roll has slumped enough to allow them a chance to exhale. http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/212526/Recent_Run_Has_Put_Rockets_In_Race_For_Playoff_Spot What a run the Rockets have made these last few weeks. I've been watching some highlites of them and is it just me or did they finally start playing as a team and that's what caused this run? Maybe I'm wrong, but they've been very fun to watch, and with the injury issues for both the Hornets and Grizzlies, they could be a darkhorse team to make a run into the postseason. Thoughts?

Dash Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Its being discussed in the anticipation thread but yeah it has been great run. I do think that we're going to need to win at least 7 or 8 of our final 10. Next game is against the Heat I think, that one is going to be huge.

kingfish Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 With Rudy Gay and David West out for the rest of the season, the Rockets should get a playoff spot no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
