This is my prediction obviously things could be different, but this is what I'm guessing over the next 5 games. RED NATION!!! ROCKETS = 6th Seed @Mavs @GSW @Suns vs.Suns vs.TWolves (4-1) (37-29) WARRIORS = 7th Seed vs.Kings vs.Rockets vs.Bucks vs.Knicks vs.Pistons (2-3) (36-30) JAZZ = 8th Seed @Cavs @Bulls @Knicks vs.Pistons @OKC (2-3) (34-31) LAKERS = 9th Seed @Thunder @Hornets vs.Raps vs.Bulls @Magic (3-2) (33-32) That leaves Lakers and Jazz fighting for the 8th and final playoff spot
it's hard to guess with our team as we play to the level of our competition...whether that be greater or lower....no game is a guarantee...
For all we know we could go 5-0. All games are winnable if they have the right mind set and play Rockets basketball I wouldn't be surprised.
Having to root for Jazz or Lakers is just too hard *insert little girl meme* Why can't they both lose?
I see GSW going 3-2 over their next 5 putting us and them in a tie for the 6th seed. Other than that, the rest looks about right.
Not true. Playing down the the level of competition implies that we play well against good teams and poorly against bad teams. We're just inconsistent. We've played a lot of bad games against strong competition and have blown out a lot of bad/mediocre teams as well.

4-1 would be fabulous! 3-2 would be good 2-3 would still be OK 5-0 would mean that our form /shape is pumped up prematurely that is long before playoffs and I wouldnt like that... timing of the form is of a crutial importance for the playoffs
My point is rockets have the toughest schedule out of the four teams. I think Rockets at most can win 2 more than I project. That would still put us out of the playoffs. Look through my game to game projections and tell me where I'm wrong.
I don't think I'm being too pessimistic. Rockets just have a tough remaining schedule.
