    The Rox need to go 3-1 to secure an 80% or better winning percentage. I don't believe it has happened very often.

    I hope the continue to play hard, 80 percent for the regular season is amazing.

    66-16 gets us there.

    Not as important as getting through the playoffs to the Finals.

    In the infamous words of @Ziggy...

    Next!

    I'm good with having 60 and #1. Play smarter, not harder.

    The counter example of the 67-win Mavs team that lost in the first round is enough for the Rockets to stay focused and hungry....nothing is guaranteed nor automatic.

    If we come out focused, most definitely can. However, we get Spurs/Suns Rockets again. I see 1-3.

    Uhhhh id just be happy with a championship since 95. Let's talk about even more boring chit like rest vs rust while we set up for cruising past the first round... not the second, third, nor last round.

    What's also cool is that 2016 had two teams over .800. Neither team won it all.

    WTF? It's the math if you win 66 you already get the 80 percent win share. Many teams have done this.

    Less than 20, actually.

    And if we win out, we'll be tied for the 7th-best record in NBA history.

    The Spurs did it two years ago and nobody cared. In fact, they got bounced in the second round badly by OKC. This situation is a little different since we'll have the best record in the league, but .800 means nothing without playoff success. Rest up for the playoffs, it's the only thing that matters.

    I mean I think we can all agree:

    #1 = Win championship
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    #2 = With as many regular season wins as possible

    67-15 with a championship, including beating the stacked Warriors, would put them up there with the greatest single season teams of all time, imo.

    I don't care at all about #2 as long as #1 is accomplished. No one looks back on the 94/95 team and thinks, "Man, I wish we won more of those regular season games."

    By my calculation the Rockets are at .950 winning percentage. 40-2 when the Big 3 plays. Rockets should be 79-3 this year. Wow.
