03/01 Rockets 103 vs. 87 Trail Blazers - WIN - Season Series: POR 2-1 03/02 Rockets vs. Clippers - Season Series: HOU 2-0 03/05 Pacers vs. Rockets - Season Series: HOU 1-0 03/07 Rockets vs. Kings - Season Series: HOU 2-0 03/08 Rockets vs. Suns - Season Series: PHX 1-0 03/12 Spurs vs. Rockets - Season Series: SAS 2-0 03/14 Suns vs. Rockets - Season Series: PHX 1-0 03/16 Bobcats vs. Rockets - Season Series: CHA 1-0 03/18 Celtics vs. Rockets - Season Series: HOU 1-0 03/20 Jazz vs. Rockets - Season Series: tied 1-1 03/23 Warriors vs. Rockets - Season Series: HOU 2-1 03/27 Rockets vs. Heat - Season Series: MIA 1-0 03/29 Rockets vs. Nets - Season Series: HOU 1-0 03/30 Rockets vs. Philly - Season Series: PHI 1-0 Worst case scenario, at the end of the month we are at 37-38. Best case in my opinion, we come out at 40-35 and than battle it out in April for the 8th or possible 7th seed. There is no way we can get to the playoffs finishing march with only 7 wins.
Trailblazers (Loss): We could win it, but it's not looking good. Clippers (Win): We can definitely win it. They're younger than us, without a great coach. Pacers (Win): They're on a two-game losing streak, and they'll probably lose two more before they play us at home. Kings (Win): If we lost it would be bad. Suns (Lose): Big must-win game. Not sure if we can do it. I could see AB going off for 20 or more. Spurs(Lose): They're damn good right now. Suns (Win): Another big game. We'll be at home. Bobcats (Win): They're tanking. Celtics (Lose): I could see us winning it, though. Maybe Boston will just be coasting to the playoffs at this point. Jazz (Win): They've been struggling. Hopefully that will continue. Warriors (Win): I could see us losing, though. Heat (Lose): On the road. It would be a great win after the first game in the series, though. Nets (Win): Made it look easy the other night. Philly (Win): Payback for the win they got on our homecourt. 9 - 5
Another crappy lottery pick. Just on the verge of making the playoffs. I wish we weren't in the middle lol.
Will take 9-5 any day. 39-36. We will win at least 4 of last 7 = 43-39. I believe 43 wins will do the job. It will be extremely important to beat Suns both games, because we could end up tie and they will advance because of series win. Won't be surprise if actually 42 is enough to go into playoffs. Memphis is about to get on a big losing streak. Utah will continue to fall. Phoenix has lots of road games + good teams.
some good news against the Spurs @SpearsNBAYahoo Marc J. Spears Spurs say guard Tony Parker has been diagnosed with a strained left soleus after undergoing a MRI and is expected to miss two to four weeks.
This is my exact prediction, including which games we win and which we lose. Unfortunately, if we go 9-5 in March, then we'd have to go about 5-2 to close out the season for that 8th spot, with 3-4 games against very tough opponents...unlikely, but possible...
No, not this again. You have to stop predicting the next games because as we have seen, our winning predictions have been completely wrong this season. This is nothing more than wishful thinking and might jinx the team so let's just take it one game at a time.
This years draft isn't great. I'd bet that Morey trades our picks instead of picking up more project players with guaranteed contracts. Besides, making the playoffs this season makes it easier to sell tickets next season.

What would be sweeter: Us making the playoffs with Suns missing out netting us mid pick and a late 1st? OR The Suns making the playoffs netting us the 14th and 15th picks? I really don't know who to root for lol.
One game at a time. Every time someone starts a record prediction thread, the team fizzles. Let's just focus on Portland...
