How will you brace yourself for the coming storm?

  1. I'm Patrick Beverley, I'm gonna beat March up so bad that it'll want to punch me by the end.

    If our schedule lets up a bit in the second half, I'll be ok because college basketball will take over by that point. My productivity will be zilch this month.

    We could easily go 8-6 in that stretch.

    Hoping for the best though.

    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.

    I like the way you think. You don't even concede any losses. At worst, it is 50/50. :grin:

    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"

    Use Lin no less than 30 min a game, we will win most of them. ;)

    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.

    If McHale uses proper matchups and subs, we will go 11-3 if not I see 8-6.

    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?
