it is hard to speculate, well thier next outing will be the lakers, celtics, and the hornets. all are contenders and though opponent. but if you would take note all of these three team has lost a star play recently, Gasol from Lakers, Allen from Celtics, and West from Hornets. as we all know that the rocket beat the hornets recently and also without David West.so it is a difficult call, momentum is on their side, defence is their weapon, and hopefully they continue this streak.

Many teams can be able to stop them. They just lucky to meet teams that have losing records or meet elite teams that have one or two players out because of injury. I'm skeptical about this Rockets team. Don't look now, they have lost 2 in a row. Their losing streak could extend up to 4 games. The winning streak is a fluke. They are not even championship contenders.

I thought Lakers would stop Houston though i'm a big fan of Yao. But Lakers lost the game in Houston. Gasol's injury is the main reason why Lakers lost their game. And from Rockets's view, Alston has got hot hand yesterday he had 8 3 pointers! Amazing night for Rcokets, isn't it?
Both teams have their key players on the bench and weren't able to play, for houston it's Yao, and for Lakers Gasol and Bynum. Both team are in very good condition now but we have to consider this what if their key players are back on court? When they're absent their teams are in a different style there's gonna be something tough for both teams, especially the coaching staffs.
This week is a tough one for Rockets they'll match up with Celtics, Suns and Warriors. Any of them can stop their run.
And i hope Rockts can keep on their run.
Have a nice day.

I believe the Celtics will beat the Rockets on national TV Tuesday. However, I'm a Celtics fan saying this. With that being said, I am almost wanting to pull for T-Mac and the Rockets against my own team to keep their streak alive. My boys are set for the playoffs, but the Rockets are the ones who need to maintain their winning ways jockeying for playoff position out west. The Rockets also have the fact that Boston plays San Antonio tonight going in their favor. That means that Boston has to play them at Houston in a back to back game. So I guess that pushes their streak to 23 maybe. West out versus NO. If they can get pass Boston, and New Orleans they may approach the 33. I would love to see that history especially in the NBA.

Yes, they were stopped by Celtics and today they lost the game with Hornets.
What can i say about their game with Celtics? Garnett is just all might, this mentioned me about another post here about T-Mac and Yao's lack of leadship. Rockets need leadship something they found in Celtics. Sometims the power of a leader is quite precious. All of these teams are great, what we care about is what they haven't done yet!
NBA, where everything happens!
Have a nice day!

21 game winning streak this is great thing and will be record in the history of NBA.
even houston rockets will be defeated by laker after 6 hours later its also treasure to remeber this moment.
nobody can defeat the rockets unless themselves. i wish the winning steak donot stop untill this end of season.

i am very impressed with what the rockets had done lately. not only have they won 22 straight(2nd longest in NBA history), but they have won 10 straight without their best player. one reason for this success is that, their previous coach, jeff van gundy, is defensive minded. he instilled intensity into that team. now, they replaced him with an offensive minded coach, rick adelman, who now is giving them the freedom to do things on offense. great offense and defense would equal to wins. however, if they wish to challenge the NBA's longest win streak of all time, they need to win 11 more, which includes 5 contenders. who could stop them? well, we dont need to look far, because their next 4 games are against 4 or the said 5 contenders(celtics, hornets, warriors and the suns). im betting that after that rough 4 game stretch, their historic win streak would be just that-another part of history.
