Rockets Playoffs and Astros Losing Streak

About this episode

The episode discusses the Houston Rockets' playoff prospects and the Astros' struggles with injuries and a losing streak.

The Houston Rockets were able to end their season strong. Maybe not on the winning streak we all dreamed of but still a nice strong momentum building finish as they head to the playoffs. As we all prepare for a Rockets/Lakers series we ask: what are your expectations? How are you feeling about this team and have you been playing the blame game this season? We then move on to the injury-ridden Astros. That’s right the hopes of a strong start has been ruined by injuries and short starting pitching performances. We (quickly) recap the longest losing streak the Astros have had since 2013 and look at the good, the bad and the ugly of this Astros squad so far this season. Before you get too far in your emotions the official Space Cadet Sports Houston Astros Panic Meter reminds you that: it’s just April! The team is only 3.5 games back! Don’t let the national-Astros-haters-media get you too worried right now, cálmate! Also, we didn’t get to it by the Connecticut Sun (soon to be Houston Comets) drafted two UCLA Bruins and we’re looking forward to following their season!
