On My Momma

The Houston Rockets in the words of the great Texas beat savage Charlie Boy have to feel " I look good " as the playoffs get ready to start. With 2 games left in the season the Rockets are the hottest team in the NBA since the the All Star break going 19-4 since that time.

They are also the number 2 defensive team in the league since the break. Which completes the championship brew that's been cooking since Hardens arrival. The offensive onslaught continues which is one for the record books.

It seems the determining factor for this teams success is going to be health. The Rockets have proven this year when healthy they can beat anyone in the league. They have bounced back from a 11-14 start to a legit shot at the 2nd seed in the West. With the significant injuries to Chris Paul and Clint Capela who are true pillars to the team, that in itself is a great feat.

That also bolsters Hardens MVP case. In the end this year will not be judged on awards. Unless it's the finals MVP. That's the only individual award that matters this year. That one comes with a championship for the city and solidifies the belief and support that Rednation has invested in this team. Buckle up here we go again. Run it back season has arrived.
