    Two Solid games Later I feel better.

    If the Rockets can go 7-1 in the next 8 games they will be
    20-15.
    Where would that put us in the West?

    Top 4 in the west, make some noise in the playoffs, perhaps have a good trade where we get another player that puts us back into real contention.

    I am not making any assumptions here. We are playing much better and we got more games at Home.

    Next 8

    @Memphis
    Utah
    Washington
    @Miami
    San Antonio
    OKC
    Boston
    @NO

    New Orleans, Boston, OKC and Memphis are the toughest from a matchup angle. I think San Antonio are on a winning streak themselves.

    Can't really write off the Jazz entirely as well even if I want to. Miami will put up a fight.

    I am making no assumption either.
    What I am saying is . .. . we are a run away from being in the top 6

    Get healthy, get hot, gel in the final month, and steamroll through the playoffs to our third championship.

    49 Games Left
    We are now 18-15
    25-24
    Would have us at 43 - 39
    30-19 would have us at 48-34

    I think 35-14 should be our floor - Where we should shoot for
    with no injuries
    53-29 -- Where does that put us in the playoff picture?

    We now have 47 games left
    UPDATE:

    We have 20 wins. We really need 30 more wins.
    30-17. That is not as Tall and Order.
    20-27 would leave us at 40-42 - Which is ridiculously unacceptable.

    Fatigue and Injury need to be considered.

    My expectation is #1 seed in the west. Anything else will be a disappointment.

    In post #36 in had the Rockets either completely collapsing or going 53-29 (5th seed in West)
    Teams approximately:
    1) GSW around 58 to 60 wins
    2) Thunder around 57-59 wins
    3) Denver around 56 wins
    4) Lakers around 55 wins

    Then Houston 5th at 53 wins......but LeBron got hurt and the others are struggling. Higher seeding is very possible.

    Rockets are only three games out of first seed in the West and climbing. I expect to get Gordon and Paul back and make a run at all the marbles.
