    Philadelphia and Brooklyn are the only real contenders left on our schedule. Otherwise the rest of the teams we should be favored against. I see no reason why we can't go at least 15-4

    I'm sure those same teams included us on their upcoming schedule as "teams that don't play contenders" as well ....

    I’m rooting for OP to be right. Let’s revisit this after the next 20 games.

    why do all schedules even the nba.com stop march 3rd during the allstar break and nothing after that. 23-13 sounds good to me. I'll be down.

    I was looking at the schedule today and the next 7 games are all winnable for the Rockets. Hopefully they continue to take care of business and go on an 11 game winning streak heading into The Miami game. I doubt they win all of the next 7 but they could find themselves in the playoff mix soon.

    Historically these types of threads have actually worked out well if I recall correctly. What is going on with the Heat, kinda surprised they weren't mentioned as a contender and then saw they have dropped 5 straight.

    Rockets barely edged out against bad team like Pistons and Blazers were playing without CJ and Nurkic and yet they kept the game close. So lets not get ahead of ourselves and take it one game at a time.

    Seriously still doing these types of threads when you cannot even safely predict the next game with covid and this whole season being unpredictable as ever? It’s not a regular season in that regard. We’re also still a work in progress so hold off on the downplaying of the strengths of opponents.
