    They were 45-37 last season.

    45-22 with 15 games still to go.

    Only 4 more tough games left.

    Hoping for at least, AT LEAST a 50 win season but a 55 win season would be amazing.

    5 of our next games are aganst scrubs, what do you mean at least 50?

    I'm still pushing for this team to pitch a shutout of the season and make it to 60, but I'll settle for 55 if we don't have a horrible matchup like the Clippers in the First Round.

    Hah, I noticed that too - good find...and looking good.

    Maybe they go 55 - 27 overall? Not bad.

    What ever record that gives us the current seeding and best chance to make it to the WCF.

    I would love to go 13-2 to tie the All Time 58 win squad but winning 54-57 is good enough for me.

    If we could lock in the 4 spot before the last few games, I would love to see our main guns see limited minutes or even sit out a couple of games which could affect how man we win in the end.

    It's been a great season, all in all. Sure some ups and downs but in hindsight, with all this team had to go through with injuries, egos, and learning to play together, sitting at 45 wins with 15 games left and firmly in control of the 4th seed is pretty amazing. Very interested how this team closes and enters the playoffs!

    Rockets are having a very season.

    It's a shame the West is so tough, while the East is so weak.

    Rockets need to go 10-5 the rest of the way to reach my predicted total of 55 wins. I will be disappointed, considering our schedule, if we go less than 10-5.

    I think they should cruise the rest of the way through. Just keep pace with Portland. Give Canaan, Covington and Daniels some play. They are going to need additional scoring from the bench come playoff time. Mix and match the line ups to get these guys some playing time with everyone on the team. It's time to get the entire team on the floor before the season ends.

    57-25 seems realistic to me. At the very least 55 wins.

    I only count OKC, LAC, and SAS. Who is the 4th? Toronto? They seem to be the biggest danger of the rest but still pretty winnable.

    Barring injuries, no way any of the Vipers get PT in the playoffs.

    Yeah but before the playoffs they definitely should.

    If the Rockets have their playoff seed locked up and have no benefit from winning the last couple games, I wouldn't mind seeing any combination of Harden Lin or Bev sit and have Canaan and Daniels get a good 35 minutes.

    and in 15 games they can carve out a Casspi, Garcia-esque role on this team. These guys are shooting lights out down in the valley. They need to be displaying that kind of shooting off the Rockets bench. Yesterday.
