I alluded last Sunday to the perilous upcoming four-game stretch spanning games against the Clippers, Grizzlies, Spurs, and Jazz stating, if Houston went 2-2, I’d be satisfied. I did not think the lone loss of the week would come against Indiana. This week, the Rockets will complete that swing, taking on San Antonio tomorrow, and then Utah on Wednesday.
Look out ya’ll. San Antonio could very conceivably catch Golden State, throwing the entire Western Conference playoffs on its head. Such an outcome would pit Houston against a healthy Warriors team in the second round instead of the conference finals, in the 2-3 matchup.
