    How many games will Rockets win during the next road games?

    Jan 2. @ Raptors
    Jan 3. @ Hawks
    Jan 6. @ 76ers
    Jan 7. @ Celtics
    Jan 9. @ Thunder
    Jan 10. VS Knicks

    Now, our statuses are not good, but our schedule is hard, injuries coming with Rox all the way, Battier is out all the games, Ron's ankle is also injured, and tmac is uncertain about which game will he play in each back-to-back.

    As a rockets fan, hope we can win as many as we can, here is my predictions:

    @ Raptors W
    @ Hawks L
    @ 76ers W
    @ Celtics L
    @ Thunder W
    VS Knicks W

    gonna go based by our history and say we win 50% of our games. win one, lose one. rockets are really unpredictable. we have no identity....either as dominant winning team or a sucky losing one. it really just depends on how we're playing that day.

    After we lose to Wizards, the worst team in the league, its hard to make decision, Rox should make right up their mind, before each game, we ought to reguard last game as we lose, and this game we want to win, need this win..

    @ 76ers W
    @ Celtics W
    @ Thunder W
    VS Knicks W

    It's on ME! ;) :D

    (I would take a loss to the Knicks if we beat the Celtics. I hate how KG has become an outright a$$hole this season. He use to be such a coward in Minnesota)

    Who would know at the moment. I actually think we will beat the Hawks though even if it is away... we just seem to bring them down to our level of crapness everytime we play. While I would love to win it i'm thinking we drop the Celtics game and knowing the Rockets one of the others you would think we would win...Thunder or Sixers probably.

    I think we are going to loose to weak teams. This is my worst scenario:

    Jan 2. @ Raptors L
    Jan 3. @ Hawks L
    Jan 6. @ 76ers W
    Jan 7. @ Celtics L
    Jan 9. @ Thunder W
    Jan 10. VS Knicks L

    We will beat the Raptors but lose to the Hawks. It isn't your normal back to back. It is a heelish trip, having to go through customes. I see T-mac not making teh trip to Toronto, but playing in Atlanta.
    He will rest against the 76ers how we wil beat, then play against the Celtics. We will beat the Thunder, but the Knicks is a toss up. We struggled against the Suns when Diantoni was coaching them, so we may struggle against that same style in New York.

    It's sad when you have to wonder if we will beat teams like the Thunder or the Knicks. We just never know which Rockets team will show up.

    If the coach can trust his second unit more, we might have more wins.

    T-Mac and the coaching staff will make the decisions on what game he will play in a back to back, right? He better have his ass playing against Boston and Atlanta.

    The Rockets can not afford to get buried on this trip. I agree that the Celtics game will be a loss, but they have to win the rest of the games on the trip especially after losing to the Raptors and the Hawks.
