    After our escape vs portland, and the nuggets losing to the hawks (lol), we are now tied with dallas for 1st place in our division. I know it's still early, but the argument that we have had a soft schedule thus far holds no ground right now as it did when we were also first in our division after the first 11 games. Look at the teams we have beaten recently during our winning streak : Utah, New Orleans, Detroit and Portland. These teams are a combined 50-33 win loss record!
    And we still have so much to improve on. Turnovers, stupid fouls and 4th quarter chokes. These can all be fixed, we just need a little time and practice.
    Coming up : the Spurs! I think we can grab at least one of these games. What do you guys think?

    Midwest W L PCT GB Conf Div Home Road L 10 Streak
    Houston 13 7 .632 0.5 5-6 2-3 7-1 5-6 6-4 Won 4
    Dallas 13 7 .650 0.0 8-5 6-2 11-1 2-6 7-3 Won 1
    Denver 13 8 .650 0.0 7-4 2-3 9-2 4-5 8-2 Lost 2
    Minnesota 12 8 .600 1.0 6-5 2-3 4-4 8-4 7-3 Won 3
    Memphis 11 8 .579 1.5 6-6 3-2 5-3 6-5 6-4 Won 5
    Utah 11 9 .550 2.0 8-6 4-3 10-2 1-7 6-4 Lost 2
    San Antonio 12 10 .545 2.0 3-9 1-4 7-3 5-7 5-5 Won 3

    Well they got through their longest road trip of the season ok, in the sense that they still were above .500 :p . But I'd say that the rest of December is gonna be a big test for them...just take a look at the schedule: SA twice, Minnesota, Phoenix (struggling now but we always match up well w/ them), Indiana, LA, Denver (no slouch), Seattle (ditto) and Philly

    BTW, Minnesotta and Phoenix both lost as well. That's always good.

    what a silly post by a senior member.
    Rest of december, rox may go 8-3.
    San Antonio
    @San Antonio +
    @Minnesota
    @Cleveland +
    L.A. Clippers +
    @Phoenix +
    Indiana +
    @L.A. Lakers
    @Denver +
    Seattle +
    Philadelphia +

    When we have 21-10 in Jan, play off berth is in the pocket.

    I don't get how Houston and Dallas can have identical 13-7 records, yet Houston is 0.5 GB and has a .632 PCT to their .650. Whoever maintains this website should be fired.
