My productivity will be zilch this month.
I'm hoping for 10-4. They almost have to play at that kind of pace if they hope to finish ahead of the Clippers.
Sat, Mar 1 vs Detroit W Tue, Mar 4 vs Miami 50/50 Wed, Mar 5 @ Orlando W Fri, Mar 7 vs Indiana W Sun, Mar 9 vs Portland W Tue, Mar 11 @ Oklahoma City 50/50 Thu, Mar 13 @ Chicago W Sun, Mar 16 @ Miami 50/50 Mon, Mar 17 vs Utah W Thu, Mar 20 vs Minnesota W Sat, Mar 22 @ Cleveland W Mon, Mar 24 @ Charlotte W Thu, Mar 27 vs Philadelphia W Sat, Mar 29 vs Los Angeles Clippers W I always hope that we can sweep, but if it all comes together we should go 11-3 or 10-4. I am ready.
I'm gonna say the Rockets end the season at 57-25, give or take a loss or two based on the teams they're facing. Fatigue will probably cause some unforeseen losses hence the "give or take"
It was a tossup between CP & DH, but I went with CP. That little road trip to OKC, Chicago and Miami plus the home games with Miami and the Clips worry me. 9-5 min.
If we win 9 of those games AND keep James and Chandler's minutes down some (that means more productive minutes from Garcia, Hamilton, Lin, and Casspi) that will make for a great month.
It's not as hard now that I think about it. A lot of those games against tough opponents where we got jobbed earlier this year will now be at home. Home court in the NBA is getting absurd. Just ask the Clippers, Pacers, and Blazers. All of whom we finally get at home, fully healthy, this month. Bring it.
It's a pretty 50/50 stretch for us. We can win all games if we put some damn effort into the game and stop doing careless turnovers. Also, only two back-to-backs.
Not blaming McHale, he's doing the best that he can with his limited coaching chops. Be honest, how many games we could have won with the right matchups and substitutions?
