    Gotta get this one tonight. If there's any game this year where the Rockets should be fired up and want to destroy the other team, it's this one. Really annoying that we might be without Capela/Wright.

    the next 4 out of 5 games are against teams we have yet to beat. the other game is @Milwaukee who have played better since firing Jason Kidd.

    it's gonna suck but I see the Warriors taking the 1st seed back in that stretch. If we only lose 2 of those games, it's a major success.

    to only have 15 losses during that stretch would be huge. Can't let GS get a huge lead over us so yes, going 3-2 would be a major success. Do you not see who the **** we play in this stretch

    @Clippers, Celtics, @Thunder,@ Milwaukee, @toronto

    not to mention we've never beaten 4 of 5 of those teams this season. 1-5 record against them. Again, 3-2 will be a huge success. Anything better is perfect.

    The Real James Harden! Respectful, Happy and Content. He doesn't forget his roots, and comes back to help kids and the community.

    This is why the Rockets are better than OKC, Harden the person is better than Westbrick the Grinch. The more Harden does good things the more wins we have during the season... Keep grinding Harden!!!! P.O.P piiiiiiimp squad bayyyyybe :(....

    That's oversimplifying things a bit. Here are the next 5 games:

    @LAC
    BOS
    @OKC
    @mil
    @Tor

    Let's start with the Clippers. The Rockets are 0-2 against them this season. But that first game was sans CP3, Capela, and Mbah a Moute. Defensively, you're gonna suck without those guys. Not surprisingly, they lost 128-118 at home. That was also the protest game where the refs didn't give a 6th foul to one of the Clippers. Then the second game they lost was in LA sans Harden. The Rockets are 4-3 this season without him. That was also the first game back for Mbah a Moute from his shoulder injury, so he was a little rusty to say the least.

    The Celtics. The Rockets were up huge in that one and should've won. But Harden had a late game meltdown and Tony Brothers did his typical screwjob routine with a couple of absolutely horrendous offensive foul calls that basically handed the game to Boston. And once again, the Rockets were without CP3, Capela, and Mbah a Moute.

    At OKC on Christmas Day. The Thunder were starting to play better and the Rockets were again without CP3 and Mbah a Moute. That was also Capela's first game back from a brief injury. Also, Roberson was still healthy at the time.

    The Rockets beat the Bucks in their previous matchup. The only reason it was as close as it was(a 4-point win) was because they'd played the night before against the Spurs. And again, the Rockets were without Capela and Mbah a Moute.

    No doubt the loss at home to the Raptors was one of the Rockets biggest defeats of the season. Toronto won that one convincingly. But CP3 also didn't play in that one. It was his last game missed with the early season knee injury.

    So basically the Rockets were either shorthanded or exhausted in their previous matchups vs all of those teams. Meaning that you can't read anything into the results.
