    Finally a decent stretch of games

    @ Philly (W-Philly has been dissapointing this year)
    @ Toronto (W-fit Bosh for his jersey while we are there imo)
    Detroit (W-I think we are just a better team than Detroit)
    @ Denver (L- tough place to play, will be close though)
    @ Dallas (L-Terry destroys us as usual)
    Oklahoma City (W- crucial game, may come down to h2h for seeding)
    LA Clippers (W- Clippers are cursed)
    @ Orlando (L- zomg first national tv game!)
    @ New Jersey (W-if we somehow lose this one, I will cry)
    @Cleveland (W- will be close, Lebron will get the Stern special)

    Record: 19-13 and fifth in the West!

    I would agree with that assessment. 7-3 sounds about right.

    That'll put us at 19-12, btw.

    Is NBATV considered national television? If so, we've been on NBATV before this season against the Clippers I believe.

    I believe so, I think he might me back in Toranto's game, or maybe or the next game which is against Philadelphia...

    The Rockets have done an exceptional job this year against teams of similar or lesser talent. Only Sacramento has a win against us when talent levels are similar.

    The Rockets also have a number of very high quality wins this season against Portland, Utah, LAL and Cleveland. Some might want to throw in wins against the Thunder as high quality wins as well since they are looking like a play off team.

    The Rockets have also had great success on the road going 7 and 5 with road wins against LAL and Utah. They also took Atlanta to the last second in Atlanta.

    Denver, Dallas, OKC, Orlando and Cleveland are the only 5 games that I look at as possible losses. Dallas has just owned the Rockets this year but the Rockets have owned OKC. Just based on that, plus the fact that we have faired pretty well against the upper echelon teams, I think we should get at least two victories if not three out of those games. I believe we will beat Denver, OKC and Orlando while loosing to Dallas and Cleveland.

    Prediction for the next 10 is 8 - 2.

    Lars V8 Orlando on the 23rd should be a win for us as we will have Tracy McGrady back on board. :rolleyes:

    7-3, assuming McGrady stays out of the picture. 5-5 if we had to find out ways to include him.

    7 sounds like a good number to me. We might loose one we're not supposed to and then again probably win one we're not supposed to.

    I have them going 5-5 for the next 10 games.


    @ Philly-Win-philly just is not consistent enough
    @ Toronto-Loss- playing there and their shooting is going to help win
    Detroit-Win-if Ben Gordan is out then we should win, Stucky always goes off on us.
    @ Denver-loss-too big inside, rockets D is gonna have to step up to win
    @ Dallas-loss-they got our number, terry is a little b**** with his boasting
    Oklahoma City-Win-game always come down to 4th quarter and rockets pull it out.
    LA Clippers-Win- playing at home, close game though
    @ Orlando-Loss-too much firepower for Orlando
    @ New Jersey-Win- no explanation needed
    @Cleveland-Loss-We loose at their place, rockets play catch up the whole game
