Rockets win streak for dummies
Posted: Fri Mar 7, 2008 5:33 am
I just came back from a long trip, where I was unable to follow the NBA and check the internet regularly.
When my trip started, the Rockets record was 22-19, they were the 10th best team in the West and seemed to be in serious danger of being out of the playoff picture.
I didn't follow them very closely, but I remember reading criticisms on Adelman's coaching and how the role players were not getting involved. T-Mac was also not doing great and many considered the Rockets a major disappointment, after the roster changes in the offseason.
I'd like to understand how the team got their act together and achieved this unexpected (and magnificent) win streak.
And what about Scola ?
I was always impressed by his play with the Argentina national team. He was having a decent rookie season, but nothing special. Did his performance got significantly better during the streak ?
