Based on the Rockets current 100% winning percentage of games i attend in person. :grin: We're going to win the Miami, Toronto, second game with Portland, Utah, Oklahoma City and New Orleans games. That's atleast 6 out of 10. Don't worry guys we got this!
Versus Miami should we sit Hayes? Miami has size on the rockets at almost every position so should we give up more size at center? Kyle Lowry 6"0 PG Carlos Arroyo 6"2 Kevin Martin 6"7 SG Dwyane Wade 6"4 Shane Battier 6"8 SF LeBron James 6"8 Luis Scola 6"9 PF Chris Bosh 6"10 Chuck Hayes 6"6 C Zydrunas Ilgauskas 7"3 Should we start at Center Brad Miller 7"0 Jordan Hill 6"10
I have a bad feeling about the Miami game. I think we are gonna get spanked so hard. The only thing I'm looking forward to is Hard G taking on Lebron.
I think we should bench Hayes if he is going to be matched up with Ilgauskas. Ilgauskas will just shoot over Hayes because he rarely play inside where Hayed need to deny his position. It is better for Hayes to guard Chris Bosh I think.
vs. Miami - L vs. Toronto - W @ Portland - L @ Denver - L vs. Portland -W @ Orlando - L vs. Utah - W @ Boston - L vs. Oklahoma City - W vs. New Orleans - W 20-20 won't be so bad, if Morey can pull off some type of trade for a big man soon, the games at Denver and Portland might have different results.
lol...if we did go 10-0...we would be number 1 in the nation..in my books :grin: but i hope we go 6-4 or better
Tough stretch, gotta take at least 6 outta those 10. Gotta win one that we we're not supposed to win. Beating Miami would be AWESOME! If we just so happen to go 10-0 in that stretch.. i think 23-game win streak isnt out of the question Wish I could rep you, but i gotta spread the rep! :grin:
If we can go at least 5-5, we should move into the 8th spot in this stretch. Portland plays us twice and Denver once. Plus in the next two weeks, they also plays Dallas and Miami. Portland could easily go 5-5 too so if they have two loses against us then we move ahead. Denver is also right there for the taking but their schedule is cake compared to ours so unlikely ...for now.
I honestly am thinking 5-5. I think we can sweep Portland. We need to steal some on the road, which would have to be against Orlando and Denver. Lets go Rockets!
I say bring it. We either deserve to be there or not. If we can string together some quality wins it may put us in a position to make the playoffs. And once we are in the playoffs I dont want it to be about token show up so we just need to man up and win out as much as we can. as a rockets fan the only team I have ever wanted to avoid truly and did not want to play, was the sonics with kemp,payton and schrempf.Man those teams just had the rockets number. if it werent for mutombo and co as the 8th seed I shudder to think what would have happened for the rockets. The sonics were THAT good. Thankfully none of these teams now even scare me in the most remote of ways. This year as with the last and really the last few lakers champs were some of the easiest weakest teams I have seen. That lakers team last year would not have lasted a second against the 90's sonic teams. This year is no different there is not much out there that scares. We just happen to kind of suck and are still trying to find our way.bad timing for us because the level of greatness is on the lower end to me right now. Perhaps we could even put ourselves in position to beat the better teams now and really get something special going. I know I dont think 'special' when I think of scola or lowry but at the same time I say bring it... it's not like we are facing insurmountable odds /great teams... my 2 cents.. I mean who are you truly 'scared' of?
Anything in the range of 4-6 to 6-4 would be fantastico. As long as we don't drop 4 or 5 games below .500 because of this, I think we'll be fine. I am, however, sick of all of our hard games coming all in a row like this. As if the beginning of our schedule wasn't hard enough, now we have to go through a stretch like this?? Have mercy!!
vs. Miami W vs. Toronto W @ Portland L @ Denver L vs. Portland W @ Orlando L vs. Utah L @ Boston W vs. Oklahoma City W vs. New Orleans W 6 - 4 Portland and Denver back to back on the road is tough for any team as they play well on the road. The Rockets play well in Boston so I have a upset win in Boston. Utah as always will be a bad match-up.
