    I am down for losing both games at GS.... maybe even resting players... I do not want to see them before the WCF... much rather play okc, memphis in the first and spurs or clippers in the 2nd!

    Man it somehow feels like they have a tough stretch of games coming up every week. It would be great if they could go 4-1.

    win against NOP, OKC and POR and split against GS

    All I'm asking is for them, at the very least, to win against OKC and GS at home. First games I will be attending live and just don't want to see them lose those games.

    3-2 probably, it's crazy that as the 3rd seed we are still far from a well oiled machine. We still don't know each night if they are going to play defense, work hard and of course hit there threes. Start mixing it up with some mid-to-long range shots, like Harden is doing a bit more of lately. We lose to the Warriors both times or Warriors + Blazers / Thunder.

    I don't agree it means everything, but will tell us something. Feeling wise it would be great to go 5-0 or 4-1 and it would suck to lose more than 2. 3-2 would be disappointing, but I'd take it. We can learn from these losses. We need to be rolling into the play-offs.

    Lazy statement: Rockets will rest when they're done!

    I am going to be a realist.

    Bend New Orleans over a table
    Beat okc
    Beat warriors on our court finally
    Lose to blazers
    Lose to warriors

    See 25% of clutchfans hanging from the rafters after two straight losses.

    We do need to pick up a few w's. I think our magic number for the 6th seed is six games is it not? Win 3 of those. Jazz lose 3 along the way and it's done? Or is it 7? Not sure. But still work to do.

    The 14-15 playoffs was one of the most injury plagued playoffs. Every team the warriors played had multiple injured starters. Not to mention that lebron almost beat them by himself with no kyrie or kevin love. One of the biggest asterisk championships ever.

    Y'all b****es never learn. Can you stop looking further than the next game? This BS of next 5 games or next 10 games or next 20 games or no contenders inevitably results in Rockets getting L's

    Lol, no doubt. Wish I could ban myself from Clutchfans. I feel like I jinx the team every time I see these posts. Oh well. One thing this stretch has saved me from dropping a load on season tickets just to guarantee myself playoff tickets. I personally don't see the Rockets getting past the 2nd round, so just going to save my money for the real championship run next year. Oh yeah, Harden putting up these shitty performances on a bad wrist is just fueling the voters to vote for Westbrook. The narrative has been written, I've accepted the coming results of this season. I'll just enjoy the ride from now till the end of our season.

    I am being serious

    The next 5 games will change nothing to our standings.

    Happy 1st April!
