We don't play any real contenders in our next 20 games

agreed but Memphis always gives them trouble. maybe hayes will neutralize zbo. like old times. ha ha

 

You just jinxed us to lose 20 games straight, thank alot.

 

Really need to make some hay in this stretch here, hopefully we can go 16-4 or even like 18-2, you know we will drop a few here and there to bad teams.

 

well we did lose to Denver and Miami so we might still lose

 

Given our PF situation, no win is going to be really easy. This defense is going to continue to struggle for a while. Hopefully D-mo is back at some point in this stretch.

I expect we go 15-5 or so, but I would be content with 13-7 during this stretch, we should still win much more than we lose. It's certainly a soft portion of the schedule. I'm more concerned with how well the team is playing at the end of this stretch than I am with the actual record.

 

Don't tell the Rockets. We can't take any games for granted.

 

This team can't afford to overlook any team. Look what happened against Denver.

One game at a time.

 

You know why I hate it when Rockets play against non contenders?

McHale would not call TOs and let the team play through a deficit or when the opponent go on a run.

It's ****ing annoying. Just because they're lottery teams it doesn't mean the players you put out will magically able to come through and win for you.

 

I'd be happy with 15-5

19-8 record.

 

Randolph destroys us I hate that dude. We have a nice schedule, can't afford to get complacent.

 

wow thats the easiest schedule i've seen from this team. and the very next contender rockets face is the clippers lol. thats sad though cuz there wont be any big games for a looooong time. dont worry though, rockets have a patented collapse in the 2nd half to assure your entertainment

btw dont forget about the dallas has beens. one of those old geysers may find the fountain of youth

 

Come on guys, we should know better. 1 game at a time, 1 game at a time.

 

The Boston game wont' be easy I can tell you that now. They are a well coached disciplined team that plays hard from start to finish and grinds and they have elite defence.

 

Given the fact we had no camp for a lot of guys and injury concerns already it gives us a nice opportunity to really get in a groove. But be reminded you can be blindsides in this league and i very much hope these guys are focussed on winning each individual game not the collective

 

If we go on an amazing win streak that will basically secure Mchales job for the year...

 

Well, there's almost zero percent chance McHale gets fired during the season. We don't even have to go on an amazing streak. Everyone needs to just relax, support the team, and let the season play out. What we do in the playoffs will determine McHale's future with the Rockets.

Over the next 20 games, I'm expecting us to go about 15-5. We have 5 back to back games during that stretch.

 

We play down to our talent level, and not having Dwight for some of those games will make it somewhat fair.

Factor in the coaching deficit, too.

 

Truth be known, this is how we had the hot start last year - an early stretch of mediocre to bad teams
