The cumulative winning percentage of the teams the Rockets are playing the rest of the way is .500%. Further the Rockets play ZERO games against a team with a better record than the Rockets. Yes, the Rockets play the Spurs twice and the Thunder twice and the Pelicans twice; but all those teams are competing for a 7-8 seed. Will the Rockets go 14-0? Not likely, but there is no reason they cannot lock in and go 10-4 to 12-2 and that MAY be enough for a #2 seed. It is also quite possible San Antonio is resting their team at the end of the season.
Remember when we might not make the playoffs because Maori was the worst? Brought back McIdiot and didn't value depth and stupid murrayball. Those were good times.
I look at the standings and think, why not? It's doable, given luck with the "i" word, luck with teams like the Griz competing for the same spot losing a game here and a game there, including a one or two they should have won on paper, and the Rockets taking care of business. You look at how close we are in the loss column and it's hard to dismiss the possibility. Will we? It's why we play the games.
