    The best finish to an NBA season by by the 1997 Utah Jazz who went to the finals. They finished the second half with a 36-5 record in the second half (38-5 and 42-6 going back to the previous half).

    The rockets are currently 20-1 with 20 games left meaning we need to go 16-4 to match that - which seems too incredible to believe - but is it?

    Well, a ways to go, but certainly it's on the radar.

    By the way, 5 of the 6 teams before us that won 18 in a row went on to win the championship.

    All systems are go for now....

    If we go 16-4, we match the 93-94 team with 58 wins.

    Wasn't there a incredible stat favouring teams with home court advantage to advance into the second round?

    Wow, in that case, it is quite possible. Go Rox!

    It could happen but i don't expect it to. I would say with the schedule we got left we will go 14-6 which would give us the 3 seed. I'm a realist first, but I can see 16-4 or better easily happening with the way we are playing.
