I feel like they actually do have a chance to go to playoffs this way, if they keep up this production and how they are going, I think that they are going to be above warriors. It's cool to see this, ı just wonder how long they can keep it up, I do not think that they can just keep winning every game, eventually this streak will end.
Yes, I think everyone is really surprised with their winning streak specially that Sengun is down, I guess this is the very definition of players stepping up their games now because they know that their number 1 offensive player can't play. And then they have a good coach as well, who might have motivated them to really go above and beyond. I haven't check their next opponents, but if it is a great team, who knows, maybe their winning streak will end. But as this point, they proved that they are going to be a tough team to beat even at road. And even if they didn't make the playoff this season, for sure they will be back strong next year as they have build a good chemistry and blend it today.
Yes, getting into the play-in will be a big bonus for them, but in any case the Warriors makes it (although they take a L today), then Houston shouldn't take this as negative. But for of a motivation from the team. It's a total upgrade from their coaching staff, to getting Fred and Brooks, it's already a big upgrade from one season ago. And so with the development of the team, they will be more competitive next year. Sengun I predicted will have another break through run and will be one of the teams offensive weapon and they will be at par with some of the best team in the West by that time.
