Red Hot Rockets


The Houston Rockets are currently on a 22 game winning streak, which is the second longest streak in in NBA history. A streak like this is almost unheard of. When the streak started they were in 9th place, and outside looking in of the playoff picture in the very tough west. They are currently the number 1 seed ahead of all those great teams out west. During their streak they have beaten the top western teams. The thing that makes this streak even more amazing is that 11 games into the streak their star center Yao Ming was injured and is out for the season. Many people felt that this would stop them from even making the playoffs. However, since they have risen to the #1 seed. Star Tracy Mcgrady has been leading the way, with a supporting cast that has really stepped up. In my opinion Tracy should get much consideration for MVP. The Rockets have a tough schedule coming up, and it will be very interesting to see how long the streak lasts. No matter what this streak will go down in history.
