This streak didn't cose us too much at all , we were at 1st seed where it ended , yes we gonna lose some games now and that was obvious after you win so much and we will still stay within reach of getting home court advantage or even with homecourt.
It's all mental imo imo , 22 wins is amazing and it drains you mentally.
We will be ok in few games and I am sure we will be ready to peak again right before the playoffs.

But the streak obviously took a lot of energy from us. Righ now the team is struggling, we can't even score 80 pts and in the 2nd half everybody is just to tired. Right now it's time for Adelman to use Novak, Woods, Aaron

Sorry, no offense but I don't get this at all. What kind of energy are you talking about? These guys are professional basketball players, there's no such thing as "hitting a wall".

It's not necessarily that our players are tired. Fatigue shouldn't be an excuse. They're simply struggling because they are not doing the same things that we were doing during the 22 game winning streak. Ball movement, defense have been exceptionally bad, and moreover our mental approach to these recent games have totally changed. If one guy tried to get a day off and the whole team will collapse.

I don't mind losing, but the way we lose games is unacceptable and players should be reprimanded for that. Man, don't give them an excuse... The 22 game-winning streak cost us nothing but a chance to compete in the playoffs.

winning 22 in a row is NEVER a bad thing. What it cost the Rockets was moving from a 10 seed to near the top seed in the west
