    Even at 6-5 I think Rockets were encouraged. The start of the season was brutal! I don't think anyone could have envisioned the record now though.

    Wow..I'm sitting here questioning why I don't even remember this slow start. I was about to question if this real or a joke. :eek:

    It was a respectable 6-5. The Rockets had a very tough schedule to start, and they hung in there.

    Me too. I don't even remember being that close to .500 after maybe 5 games.

    Researching now, the 5th loss was the OKC game. Then....

    If the team goes 6-5 again in any stretch of the season, this board will forget everything and melt down lol

    Just remember to appreciate what the team has done and be tolerant of ups and downs.

    I remember after we lost to Dwight Howard and the Hawks (pretty convincingly) and had recently lost to the Luke Walton Lakers, I was feeling like maybe we'd marginally improve to 48 wins. I would've voted for that at the time.

    December has really changed everything.

    First 11 games

    @Lakers L
    @Dallas W
    Dallas W
    @Cavs L
    @Knicks W
    @Hawks L
    @Wizards W
    @SPURS W
    Spurs L
    @Thunder L
    Blazers W

    We blew a big lead to the Thunder, Lakers and the Spurs those were three games we should not have lost and we probably wont lose now if we played them today.The only loss that where we were poor all game was the Hawks game where we looked dead and terrible on both ends.The Cavs game was an amazing game where the Cavs played their best game and were nailing everything and we went toe to toe with them.No shame in that.

    The Mavs started 0-4 in 2007, including a lopsided loss to our Rockets and yet they still ended up winning 65 games that year. Only problem is that they lost in the first round. :eek:

    Good recap, but I think that SPurs loss was also one we should've won. We lead early, and they caught up. We had a few chances to win at the end but couldnt put it in.
