Nope. They haven't played the Lakers or Spurs to test whether they are legit or not.

they have benefitted from great scheduling.
They will lose 5 of their next 8
8 teams over 500.
They won 19 games including 7 w/o their so called best player, isn't impressive because the teams they played?
Then tell me why Boston didn't win 22 games with this schedule then..

Look at this roster, and tell me the 19 game win streak isn't impressive

and winning by double digits the last 10 game makes this streak that much more amazing don't you think?
so SMH at you for being a hater, and not giving props when props are due.

u do know that since they got pau gasol, the lakers' opponents record is around 38% winning. they haven't proven a thing either. their schedule has been easier than the rockets. and yet they have lost to teams like hawks, kings, and blazers.
you realize the rockets have lost to Memphis, Miami, Sac, and twice to the Sixers so your argument doesnt really hold a lot of weight.

T-Mac's dubious lasting legacy when he retires is that he could never get any of his teams out of the 1st round of the playoffs.

And for those saying the Rockets will lose the next 5 of 8 or whatever, I doubt it. This 19 win streak if anything gives them a boost of confidence and belief that they can take on any team with the current roster and they have shown that. So with that, Houston is a dangerous team as of current. Their playing at a level no team is currently playing at with. It'll be pretty hard to beat the Rockets as of right now.

There's maybe 5 good wins against quality teams out of those 19. Cleveland, New Orleans, Denver (who may not even make it), and Dallas (granted they lost Dirk).
If you're gonna call denver a quality team, the warriors better be there as well.
that's BEFORE tmac came back from injury. the team before was a completely different team. u do know teams get better as they along a season right? this team had a new coach, new players, new offense...
the lakers are losing to those teams during their "good" streak.
the houston team starting the season is ocmpletely different.
so wouldnt the same argument apply to the Lakers since they dont have Bynum?
Even then the Rockets have had an entire season to mesh, you are giving the Lakers 10-15 games to mesh with Gasol and comparing the Rockets to a team thatdoesn't have one of their better players.
