45 - 13! Yea baby!

 

We should win 9 or 10 of those games in my opinion best case scenario 10 worst case scenario 6 and likely scenario is 8 to 9.

 

I think we can ride a 9 game win streak into the all star game, but the next 4 games we could go 0-4

 

I only think we drop the Charlotte game and boston

 

After the next six games the Rockets will only have like 12 more road games for the entire year. Less B2B games and plenty of days off in between. I think these next six games are critical, if we can finish these up with only 2 losses then I think we will win 60 games this year.

 

B2B gsw > mem is such horsesh!t for a team that's already played what - 12 B2B's? A lot of winnable games afterwards and no B2B's after that I saw before the ASG but still... the schedule makers did us NO favors.

 

Win streak coming???

 

But how many are contenders tho...

 

we can make up for the miami loss by beating both the warriors and the grizzlies

 

The next 6 games are tougher. Beginning with SAC on the 31st, Rockets probably have the easiest schedule in the NBA.

9-4, 41-16 at the break is doable.

 

Hopefully at least some minor reinforcements arrive after the Memphis game to help these tired legs and mitigate some match up issues.

My prediction: we win 6 of the next 13 + 20 of the last 24 = 59 wins on the season, finishing 3rd and facing OKC.

 

F*** off with the jinx already! When are ya'll going to learn?

 

So are you saying we're playing ALL contenders?

I hope for more BORING Rockets games

 

U can argue after 6ers game the schedule gets really good

 

The goal is to win 40 games before losing 15.

In the words of _holic "mark my words"

 

gonna need Road Ryan to show up

 

I think it's the difficult schedule so far that has really galvanized this team, and given us the confidence that we really can hang with anybody. Getting some much needed rest and practice time heading into the playoffs is going to do wonders for us.
