Well, nobody in their right mind believes that the Rockets are the least talented, flat out worst team in the West. As much as we don't want injuries to be an excuse, they are the reason we are sitting at the bottom. They are the reason we lost to teams like Charlotte and Atlanta. We are arguably more talented several of our upcoming opponents...Milwaukee, Seattle, NY, LA, etc.
I'm a big fan of the big call. The odds are, you'll be wrong. But if you're wrong, everyone will forget or forgive after a while. And if you're right, they'll carry you around on their shoulders till you're dumb enough to make another prediction.
I agree with this, predictions always have us winning against the bad teams and losing to the good ones. Though I will say this is a ballsy prediction. I hope its true but I still don't see this the Rockets chemistry being fullspeed to be able to pull it off. (ducks) Stuart

Unfortunately, they have to win the next 11 (for 14 total) to just get to .500, and for every game they accidentally lose, they have to win 2 just to make up for it... Why must it be so hard...why!!! EDIT: And considering the March schedule, we really need to win those 11. San Antonio twice within a week. Dallas twice within an overalapping week. Cleveland, NJ, Clippers, NOOK, Denver, Pacers always play us tough. Of the 15 games, 11 will be with teams currently over .500 and in the playoff race.
I don't get this sh*t, why a lot of you guys think we can't beat the Suns and the Clipper? Yes they're a good team but not much better then us with a healthy Yao/T-mac. We beat the Suns twice last year and two of them comes from their home court and this was against a more leathal team with Amare,JJ and Q. We almost beat the clipper this year if both Yao and T-Mac didn't play like crap in the last few minutes in thr 4th qtr...I don't see this repeating again. The only teams I fear as far was the west in concern is San Antonio and Dallas....thats it. The west is not as dominate as it was in the previous years.
Let me be the first to say that we will win the first three games of February. Check back later for more predictions.
