    Couple of B2B's in there that will probably see the team having a bit of a let-down.. especially AT Denver (3rd game in 4 nights, and in Denver, where it is notoriously hard to breathe). I hope not, but it's the sort of thing this team does. Plus, Cleveland has been playing a lot better, don't sleep on the Cavs at home. Home games against the Clips & Thunder CRITICAL, we will NOT lose those games. Penultimate game against SA may be for #2 seed. All three of those important games are in Houston, and we will win them.

    18-5, on a hot streak, winning 12 of the final 13.

    We finish 2nd in the West. OKC gets upset in Rd 1 or 2, leaving us as the top seed in the West. Sa takes out the Clips, and we take out SA in 7. We make it to the finals, but get smashed by the Heat 4-1.

    All in all, not a terribly bad season. Will be better next year.

    (If they can somehow avoid the stumbles against the Cavs and the Nuggets, and hold home court against OKC & Clips, this team could actually win 60 this year, which would be bloody amazing.)

    The combination of Rockets wins and losses will equal 23. Book it.

    Wonderful unexpected win against the Heat, upping the very realistic possibility to between 59 and 61 wins, if everything breaks just right. :grin:

    I have a feeling that we are really going to lay it to Indy when they come to town. It is going to be a statement game for sure, and George has regressed to the mean...you can count on Harden going HAM.

All three of those important games are in Houston, and we will win them.

    The big question-mark for me is to see how we do in Chicago - sandwiched between roadies in OKC and Miami (brutal!), and it will actually be a really great sign if we can avoid a 3-game losing streak here. Even so, after that 3-game stretch, the remainder of the schedule is filled with bottom-feeders and 3 home games against good teams. Ending the season on a 16-game win streak, anyone? (This is why I have us stumbling against Cleveland and Denver, so as not to jinx us lol)

    18-5, on a hot streak, winning 12 of the final 13.
