    I'm going with 2 games below. We're on the upswing but I haven't yet seen anything that suggests we're about to reel off 8 of 11 after only getting 8 of 21.

    I really think we can end it 17-15. The only two losses I see are against the Heat and the Thunder, who we've already beaten once, so there's still a chance for even 18-14. This may just be wishful thinking, but it's not too far out of reach. :)

    At .500, watch the Rockets lose to one of the bad teams but win one against either OKC or Miami.

    As long as they hover close to .500 then they'll be ok. They finished 2009 with a 20-13 record but still ended up two games above .500 at the end of the season. Rockets can still make the playoffs even with a mediocre December. Just as long as they don't dig themselves a huge hole.

    What your proposing is not far fetched...for some reason rockets lose to bad eastern conference teams so I can see the lost against the bucks. OKC will want revenge and play great to beat us in OKC. Memphis is capable of playing well and can beat us in Toyota center, GS is capable of running all over us with monta ellis, we wont have an answer to john wall, miami thrice has too much offense we can't stop, so easliy can be a 5-5 record if the rockets don't step up, the need to realize this and understand this is NOT a cake walk. I have a feeling they will put their gaurd down and think they can glide into a .500 record by december, they all say no and they play hard every game but mentally i have seen this happen. Very scary though...if we play well, i can see us losing only 3 games or so, but no focuse and no intensity, yes, 5-5 is a reality.

    Most likely scenario is they win their rest of games in December.

    I will agree, anything less than .500 after december is officially a dissapointment.......and time to move forward...IT IS WRITTEN.

    If they are still 5 games under at the end of the month, Adelman can make vacation plans for mid Jan...we should AT WORST be .500

    I don't care if we lose all our remaining games just as long as we beat the Heat on later this month.
    Just kidding, though that would be a very sweet in.

    I think we'll be at .500 even, which at this point I will take

    I dread the Miami game, I still remember the 99-66 loss last year.
