The Pacers, Hornets, and Pistons are all below us? OK, that makes perfect sense...The Nets should be ahead of the Rockets, also...
Mon 29 Seattle Wed 31 Philadelphia Sat 3 Utah Mon 5 Golden State Wed 7 at Detroit Thu 8 at New York Sun 11 Boston Tue 13 at Washington Wed 14 at Boston The next 9 games look very winnable for the Rockets. I don't want to go on and say the Rockets should go 9-0 but 4 straight home games to get started off, then 5 straight games against Eastern Conference teams who we do very well against. I think by the team we finish this 9 game stint we will of earned our power rankings.
#11 Detroit Pistons Finding it tough to score, much less win. Seven times in last 12 games, Pistons haven't even scored 80. You sure they're not talking about the Rockets
One change from last year is that we are winning the games we are supossed to win. Detroit, Boston, and Utah seem like the only ones that will give us any trouble.
i'm not very familiar with other teams because we havne't played them yet to determine if they are pests or not, but don't forget about seattle
i agree, we have to close these easy games out, take the lead and hold on to it. DO NOT let them come back just like we did in the lakers game. When they make a run we should come right back and make a quick run our selves.
The game at Detroit is most likely a loss, and the next night at New York is the second night of a back-to-back on the road. That's 2 losses there. The game on the 14th at Boston is also very loseable. I'd say a 6-3 is a very good record over this course of games.
