God! Losing to the Jazz was bitter, however the Rockets' schedule for the next 10 games isn't all that tough, and 8 of 'em are at home. Dec 27 Knicks Dec 29 Hornets Jan 4 Warriors Jan 7 T-Wolves Jan 8 @Magic Jan 10 @Hawks Jan 11 Nuggets Jan 13 Celtics Jan 15 Suns Jan 17 Lakers If the Rockets don't go 8-2, i'll be extremely disappointed. the only losses i'de accept during that strech are to Orlando, only because it's a second of a back 2 back, and maybe to the Lakers. What do you guys think?
dec27knicks win dec29 hornets win jan4warriors win jan 7 twolves win jan 8 magic win jan 10 hawks win jan 11 nuggets win jan 13 celtics lose jan 15suns lose jan 17 lakers win 8-2 10-0 possibly(if tema plays together)
most likely the Rocks will go 6-4 or 7-3...... 8-2 is not that easy for the Rocks for the time being.... it will takes them a lot more time to be able to make it 8-2...... Rockets are still very inconsistent.....
The way we are playing we'll be lucky to go 6-4... Rockets need to take it one game at a time, not by packs of 10...
I don't mean to be a pessimist but 5-5. Expect losses against the T-Wolves and Lakers (by then they'll be back on the same page) and it's usually close against the Hornetts. We also tend to have trouble with Stephon Marbury and the Suns plus we play the Celtics who are a pretty good team.
8-2, 10-0??? There are 7 potentially tough games here. Oh, that's right. The tough ones are the ones the Rox show up for!
Knicks...Win Hornets...Win Warriors...WIN T-Wolves...Hopefully Win Magic...without TMac should be Win Hawks...Win Nuggets...Win Celtics...Hopefully Win Suns...Hopefully Win Lakers...if at home...better chance of winning...but Hopefully Win
Too early and too inconsistent to make any bold predictions. They still tried to incorporate players into their rotation. Some day they play good and beat good team (that we predict they might lose). Other day we think it should be an easy win and they came out and lose. They still tried to find a consistent rotation and I am not sure each player really know their role on the team yet. I think Rudy still experimenting. Once they know what their role is, I think they will be able to play more consistently. They could go 8-2 or 9-1 or they can go 4-6 and 5-5. So I think they should focus on one game at a time rather than look at the schedule to see which game they suppose to win.
