    The Warriors unfortunately have the tiebreaker. But they do play the Lakers two more times. Plus LA has a road heavy schedule and suck away from whatever the hell they call their arena now. And we currently have the tiebreaker over them.

    Long story less long, the play-in ain't likely, but it's still possible. The Rockets probably need to sweep these next 6 games to have any realistic shot though.

    Mobley and Mitchell are out due to injury. So really OKC is the only guaranteed lose left.

    They have a lot of good three point shooters. If the Rockets don’t guard the three point line well, it’s a wrap.

    Even better odds of a 9 game win streak before the OKC game :)

    Significant uptick in Defense and somewhat Offense in the last games.

    Nola is up on top but that did not translate in every Game is a Win.

    Few things would make me happier than knocking LA or GS out of the playoffs.

    3 1/2 back of the Lakers now. They don't really have a tough schedule the rest of the way, but maybe we'll get some help from a few of the crappy teams they have to play on their upcoming 6- game road trip.

    I think the Rockets probably have to finish with at least 43 wins to have a shot at catching LA. Unless AD's eye injury is serious and it keeps him out for a while.

    Phoenix in fact has the hardest remaining schedule.

    This is the time for Jalen Green to prove he's a franchise player. He needs to step up as "the franchise" and take the Rockets to the playoffs.

    If the Rockets make the play-in, is Jalen officially clicking or Rocket's numero uno?
