You're going to go on the road, play Philly, go on the road and play Detroit, which has given the Rockets problems lately.

You're going to have the Grizzlies here at home.

Then you're going to play the Spurs again here in Houston.

So they've got a five-game stretch here that's quite challenging.

But just as we close up, your thoughts on Tuesday's game.

wendy you know that whole matchup it's kind of interesting i know some people kind of make it a wendy versus shangoon thing they don't really guard each other i think shangoon or excuse me i think wendy guards shangoon maybe more lately so it's not really like the old you know akeem ewing kind of clash it's it's much different i expect a kogi to be on uh wendy a lot and obviously some switching but

I'm curious your thoughts on that matchup with the Spurs having just beat Minnesota with Anthony Edwards the day after the Rockets-Timberwolves matchup.

Big game for the West standing.

Spurs are 29-13.

They're second behind the Thunder.

And the Rockets are two back of them in the loss column.

Rockets currently fifth seed.

They're ahead of LA.

They're technically a half game behind the Timberwolves.

But one less loss.

Exactly.

They have 15 losses to the Timberwolves, 16.

Is it final?

Because they were getting obliterated.

Yeah, it's probably a very, very safe bet.
