    I think the Rockets have a good chance of going .500 during this stretch. IMO if they manage to play at least .500 they have a good shot at making the playoffs

    I think we can do better than .500

    I think they can too. The ones I bolded are the games I feel the Rockets have a great chance of winning, while some of the others being toss ups.

    11+ wins seems doable to me.

    My optimistic scenario is the rockets lose at most 5 games.

    I don't know why everybody has been saying January is such a hell-like month for us.

    I mean sure we have to go up against some top teams, but that's just like every month. I can see us winning 9+ for sure. Gotta see how we do on the road though.

    January looks easy to me. I think we'll stay at #5 in the West standings, maybe even move up to #4.

    The team is turning me into a believer. I'm gonna say the team will go 11 - 6 in January.
