    This video is mainly made for people who aren't Houston Rockets fans as it's educating them on our team and how great we are atm! :D But I thought you guys might appreciate it as well as I basically break down our team and how each player is doing so far this season.

    So while I was doing my Googles I noticed that our best regular season record was during the 1993-94 season where we finished with 58 wins and 24 losses. With us having played 20 games and only 4 losses that projects us to around 66 wins.

    I hope you enjoy the video guys, I don't do much discussion vids showing my face.
    Feedback would be very much appreciated. Peace and Love!

    Let's get it Red Nation!!! :mad:

    Sucks that the Warriors exist.

    At this rate we will win 60+ games which will break the franchise record. So the answer is obviously yes.

    I believe so. This team is NASTY, and I'm glad that I'm getting to witness them

    I have us winning 62-65 games if we remain healthy based off of how we’ve looked so far (top 2 offense, top 7 defense, ridiculous net rating)

    before the season, I was thinking 58-60 wins

    Brother I love the video, it was as if you an I teamed up to break this down. I beg you to go read my discussion with @SirIvyLeague. I also agree with your beginning stat from Bleacher report. The Rockets are Number 1 in both offensive and defensive efficiency as well as efficiency differential since CP3 being back.

    Yes, but the playoffs are what matters so while I would be happy to win 60 games, I wouldn't be satisfied too much if they dont show up for the playoffs.

    I think you're missing my point. Again, being #1 is a relative and absolute value. I'm stating simply that on a relative value we MAY dip due to what I mentioned and you can't help but ignore those exact points I brought up. I'm not doubting our likelihood of being the best team, or one of the very top. I'm debating whether or not being #1 AT THIS POINT IN TIME is a correct indication given the variables I told you.

    Probably....

    But @tinman might take offense.

    Bear in mind the 93-94 Rockets started the season 15-0 and then 23-1.

    So since W-L is ultimately what matters.... that was better.

    But certainly not the type of ass whooping see have here. They just didn’t score enough for that to be possible.

    Different eras but yeah this probably is the best regular season pace
    Also there is a huge difference between the top teams and bottom teams this season compared to 94
    There’s in balance now but glad we are at the top end

    I don't know what's better, his voice or the Rockets highlights. It's probably both

    Rockets tie Franchise record for best away start, 10-1, with the '94 title team.

    also

    Rockets set the NBA record for most Away wins in a row by at least 15 points. Other three teams at 5 in a row all won the title that year.

    I don't like hyping the team up too early.

    We still got a lot of good teams left to play
