I just love the talk how the rockets have been lucky coming up against NO without West, Mavs without Dirk and Lakers without Gasol when Yao didn't play in any of those games.
Houston is playing like a team at the moment and Coach A is getting the best out of every player on the squad. Scola has been simply amazing since the run started. Actually Scola became a starter on this team 22 games ago, coincidence?? I think not.
Hopefully Landry can get out there as well against the Celtics, was certainly very important in the streak and will be a factor in the remaining games and come playoff time.
The Rockets bring in Harris on a 10 day deal and he gets them over the line against the Bobcats. Once again its Coach A understanding his players and what the situation requires..
Battier & Mutumbo, how can you not love these 2?
Alston has been the major surprise though, he is playing with a fire (& agro) that I have never seen from him in his NBA days and I am more shocked at his performances over the last 6 weeks than anyone.
Mac is just mac, gets it done on all ends of the court. His passing is severely underrated. Coach A has stated numerous times he has the best court vision and passing out of any player he has ever seen play the game. That is a huge compliment right there
It has been amazing ride so far and with the leadership on this team I am positive the players will not let it get to their heads now with the playoffs drawing near.
Do it for Mt Mutumbo Houston.
