Wed 2 @ Philadelphia W Fri 4 @ Minnesota L Sun 6 L.A. Lakers W Wed 9 Chicago W Fri 11 @ Indiana L Sun 13 Portland W Tue 15 Washington W Tue 22 Seattle L Wed 23 @ San Antonio L Sun 27 Utah W Logical: 6-4 I'd say this is close to what we would see us do in February. It equals to winning all of our home game and losing all of our road games. Will Kobe play on the 6th? The big games of the month are Minnesota, Lakers, Seattle and Utah, with the statement game being @ SA. Mediocre: 3-7 I'd say this is highly unlikely we will do this bad, I'll say the worse we can do is 4-6 lol. If we lose all our road games and lose to the better teams at home then expect this kind of record. We would most likely be around .500 at the end of February if we happen to go this route. Excellent: 8-2 I am actually pretty confident this is an attainable goal. Losing only to SA and Seattle or possibly Washington at home. I would guess we'd be 5-6th seed if we can go this route in february. Overall the february odds are on our side and is a relatively relaxed schedule (only one back to back, the AS break for our oldies, majority of the games @ home along with 11 days of home time! Feb11-22) Anyone have any comments or additions to my predictions?
you know its possible for the rockets to win all the games, i have a feeling we will do really well this month and probably the only team we'll lose to is the sonics. but i am going to say we go 8-2 for the month
Will it be asking for too much I demand for a 10-0 February? Anyway I do not really want to make a prediction but I have 5 games I wanted to win badly........against Minny, La Lakers, San Antonio, Pacers and Utah. Now if we pickup 2,3 or4 more games from the rest I will be estatic. War 10-0 February! Oh btw MrRolo, mediocre should be 5-5 not 3-7. 3-7 will be a disaster.
just focus on winning the next game Rockets, all these games are winnable and all are loseable That's how it is - we must win with intensity and passion each game. We don't have the talent to sleepwalk through games.
February is actually a pretty scary looking month. Remember how easy December looked? The Rockets have played down to inferior competition all season long, plus their performance at home has been mediocre at best. I do think barring injuries they'll have a decent record in February, but the truth is you never know what to expect with this team.
Even though we only play ten games in February, we will win twelve. Two other teams will roll into town and we'll punk them even though no game is scheduled. It will be a trend that wil continue throughout the season. We finish the season 73-19.
Wed 2 @ Philadelphia W Fri 4 @ Minnesota L Sun 6 L.A. Lakers W Wed 9 Chicago W Fri 11 @ Indiana L Sun 13 Portland W Tue 15 Washington W Tue 22 Seattle W Wed 23 @ San Antonio L Sun 27 Utah W I don't think this is the hardest draw possible - I would expect us to go 7-3! There is only one back-to-back, and it is a game we are expected to lose (even though we own the Spurs). The "tough" games against Minny and Seattle might not be so hard considering they are both on a bit of a slide right now. The game @Indiana will be interesting - I can't see why we shouldn't beat them, but have a bad feeling about going there! So 7-3 is my conservative prediction, 8-2 or 9-1 a real possibility!
Friggity frack... we got a pretty hard February awaiting us. All the road games are tough, and there are no real gimmies... except maybe for Philly (if Iverson isn't playing). I guess this is when we find out what this team is made of. Bring it!
