The Rockets are still an excellent basketball team, but they have undoubtedly slipped some as the season has progressed. It is easy to get fooled by the Rockets 39-25 record. That has not been the case over their last 19 games, where they are 8-11. Before going 8-11, the Rockets were 31-14!! They have shown to be vulnerable in a lot of ways. The Orlando Magic is 30-35 on the season, but that is good enough for the #8 spot in the play-in round. This Rocket team has been struggling for 19 games, and I don't believe they have figured out things yet. Make the play on Orlando.
