    Seriously how many games will we lose? Playoffs are the only thing that matters but in the meantime I'm enjoying the hell out of this!

    The pessimist inside of me says try not to get too excited yet but I mean come on how can't you? This has been one of the most awesome seasons in franchise history. A DEEP postseason run, maybe a championship (def a championship) would add the cherry to the icing.
    I am enjoying it so far.

    I have a feeling these warriors will get 67, that seems to be their lucky number, we need to win out or at worst we can only lose 1.

    We have the tiebreaker so we can lose two if 67 and first seed is the goal. I still think that's a bit crazy, but a lot less crazy sounding than before our 17 game win streak. I also don't think GS only loses one game until the end of the season either. They have some tough games against other playoff teams fighting for seeding: San Antonio, NO, OKC, Portland, Utah twice.

    Rockets have never won 60 games before correct? That'll be special.

    I'm thinking maybe 4-5 losses tops if they remain healthy:

    @Tor
    @DAL
    SAS
    LAC
    @NOP
    @min
    @POR
    DET
    NOP
    ATL
    CHI
    PHX
    @sas
    WAS
    POR
    OKC
    @LAL
    @SAC

    I figure at Toronto, 2 of the 3 games on the next road trip, at San Antonio(if Kawhi is back by then as expected), and maybe one more home game(vs a team like the Pelicans, Blazers, or Thunder).

    And that should be the worst case scenario. The Rockets are too good to lose anymore than that. They could win nearly every game the rest of the way and I wouldn't be shocked. They're now 34-1 with Capela, CP3, and Harden in the lineup. That ain't a small sample. That's over 42% of the season. Basically when healthy, this team doesn't lose.

    Besides busty Samuel Dekker,

    I called McFail garbage way backkkkkkk when Murray hired him and they attacked me. Now after McFail and Harden back and forth, they changed their minds
    I said uncle Le$ made the right decision to take coaching decision hire away from Maury and bring Mike AntoniO here, they said otherwise
    I called Kostas papascrub, folks here thought he had a future lulz
    I said Harden is a far superior athlete than Fatt - proven
    On Fatt, I said eggball texans won't win a thing with him and should trade him ASAP. now he is just on social media and injury room

    Should I go on? Nah

    You need 16 to win a championship. So you are saying we are going to lose 4-2 in the finals to Toronto or Cleveland?

    Nope. Never even won 59. They could've gone for 60 in 1994, but they had the 2nd best record locked up and there was no chance of catching Seattle(who finished 63-19). So Rudy rested a bunch of guys in their last two games which were at Dallas(who finished 13-69 that season) and home vs Denver(who wound up 42-40 and doing us a huge favor in the first round).
