    the seemingly easier opponents/trap games could help easing in the the team's adjustment to a faster pace and more reps meshing in team chemistry....in preparation for a play--something something atmosphere

    yep, agreed, one game at a time...and treating each game like a play-in/win or bust makes it the more enjoyable to watch...should be a fun run on these remaining games-----in or out of top 10 WC seeding

    I agree with taking it one game at a time, but the win streak has been pretty damn fun.

    We'll see what happens, happy with the season and improvement so far.

    I don't care how realistic it is that we'll make the Play-in. I just want to believe in our guys and watch them continue to grow. These last few games have been really, really fun and I have confidence that this momentum will carry over--if not to the play-ins, then to next season!

    If the Rockets can nab 9 more wins the rest of this season and finish at .500 I would say they way over achieved and that it was a tremendously successful season even if they don't make the play-in. They would be starting next year from a .500 team mindset vs a .268 like this season and should be fighting for a strong playoff spot all season.

    We're starting to make the race to the play in interesting. We're playing focused and hard, and it's a joy to watch. It would be a sort of a karmic justice for us if We grab the 10th spot and then send the Warriors to a rebuild.

    We should win out the rest of the month, and breathing down the neck of LA/GS.
    The stretch from April 1st to April 10th is the key. We have games against Mavs, Wolves, Warriors, Heat and Magic. If We don't fall apart in there, it means that We're for real.

    Shouldn't have squandered those games to teams that were trying to lose a few months ago like Portland, Memphis and Toronto.

    Yup, inclusive with the game where Bari missed those FT against I think Spurs, then Green with his young n dumb decisions late in that Clipps game

    Then the one that was just recent up like 20 and blew that against those damn Clipps

    That's 6 wins that would have Rockets in somewhat drivers seat at this moment
