So you are saying we will go 18 and 9 the rest of the way? 18-9 (a win clip of ~67%) is not a bad finish (mid you we are still in the middle of a historic win streak) but I think we can do better.

That is too many loses for our team going forward unless you are factoring a key injury down the stretch.

Now if we land Barry and Jackson fits in well, the odds of losing 9 games the rest of the way becomes much less.

I cannot think of any team that we do not have a considerable amount of chance to beat the rest of the way. We now matchup well with every team in the West (and NBA for that matter) for the first time since 1995.

I really don't disagree with you on that, I was being conservative in my prediction.

To win 50 games, we will have to go 29-13.
To win 52 games, we will have to go 31-11.
Do you want to rethink that?

Thanks, but I'll stick with my original thinking on the subject -- seeing as how it looks like I was RIGHT.

Heh. Ah, Brooksball. It must be tough being such an expert these days.

Pure Gold. Just too many classic moments in this thread.

Unfortunately, I still have doubts about how we stack up against the other teams in the deepest Western Conference in NBA history.

Given this outlook, do any of you still believe the Rockets can make the playoffs?

I'll go on the record and say we have no chance.

You have the right to remain silent.

That's what I was thinking every since BrooksBall predicted the absolute worst for us we have gone 15 and 1! Holy **** you couldn't ask for a better luck Charm than Brooks Baby. Keep up your illogical opinions. You are our lucky ducky.

P.S. Who do you like in the Memphis Tennessee game tonight?

Nelly, you have destroyed the Rockets chances against Chicago.

BrooksBall is a little kid, go easy on him. He can't be older than 15.

Just look at my signature, he's too pessimistic with his doom and goom attitude.

Well, welcome to the real world BB, that's life! You were wrong admit it and move on! You've practically been called out by everyone on here! Otherwise your credibility is zilch contributing member or not!

Even the former Iraqi misinformation minister would say UNCLE about now!

Denver just lost and we are now two games ahead of the 8th.
Hornets is falling and I think we can catch up with them by early march

I remember that BrooksBall comment, and the more I see it the more...I'm seeing his point? If I had to make my own "prediction" itd be Luther Head becoming the next Rafer or Chuck as the Rocket most likely to get bashed

ah, damn I hope not. I really want to see us tie or break the '93-'94 win streak.

But to me the jinx will officially be broken if BrooksBall gives in and admits he's wrong. Don't give up BB!

In our 24 games in 2008, our point differential is 7.125.

Not too shabby.

I'm pretty sure he's gone and hid in a cave (hey BB tell us if Bin Laden is in there) and won't resurface until next season. That will be about the time he proclaims the defending champ Rockets as a lock to miss playoffs again.
