Quick programming note: I will be out of town this weekend and away from consistent internet access. Don’t fret, as we’ve got you covered. Colin is taking the Sunday game against the Mavericks and Conrad will preview the Monday game against the Hornets. So you’ll be in good hands while I’m away.
When Houston started this stretch against three of the top teams in the East, I mentioned that Houston needed to go at least 2-1 during those games to keep themselves in the race for homecourt advantage. Well, Houston is 2-0 and looking to get greedy tonight as they welcome the Philadelphia 76ers to Toyota Center.
