Looking at the remaining schedule, I think the Rox can win at 50-53 games. Which is great since at the beginning of the season I was thinking 44 wins at the most.
The rockets have always had a tendency to play down to their competition. I'm not sold on this being a good thing Let's wait and see how we play against the knicks
Even with losing all 14 of the games remaining with Mia, SA, Atl, Den, Orl, Bos, LAL and Phx, the Rockets should win 49 games: Port, Ut, NOH 3-3 NY, Char, Min, Mil, Chi, GS, Mem, Phi, Ind, Tor, Sac, Det,Was, NJ, OKC, LAC 26-0 To date, the Rox have only lost 1 away game to Tor and 1 away game to Sac among the last group.
I will say I never expected to actually feel that we should win every game. I feel like every loss is a game that we should have won until I remind myself we are losing to contending teams who are at full strength.
I can easily see at least 5 losses in there. Not saying that will happen, but we have not been playing very consistently for awhile.
I don't know where you guys are seeing 8-10 wins for us . the teams are not that easy . Miami , San Antonio , Atlanta , Denver , Portland ??? You think those are easy wins?
