Ok, so 2nd half of the season starts tomorrow against Seattle and including that game we have 41 games left to go. Right now we are standing at 22-19 and are 10th in the West (not exactly what we pictured in the preseason) and to top that off we are fighting Utah and GS to make the playoffs. Personally I think that will change and we will instead be fighting Utah and Portland because I think Denver will clinch the Northwest division pushing Portland down to 8 seed, still both are tough to beat. Will we make the playoffs? (I think to get in the playoffs in west we need to be at least 8 to 10 games above .500) Our Schedule does get fairly easy (except a tough week in March) after a rough first half but this does not mean that we WILL win all the games we "should" win. Here is a list of tough teams we will be facing out of 41 games. Tough Teams(# of times we play them) Utah(2) Golden State(2) New Orleans(3) Dallas(1) Charlotte(1) - Only because for some reason they beat all great teams. LA Lakers(1) Boston(1) Phoenix(2) San Antonio(1) Portland(3) Denver(2) There is a stretch in March where we will play Lakers, Boston, New Orleans, Golden State and Phoenix all in one week and even back to backs! March Lakers - Sun 16 (W) Boston - Tues 18 (L) New Orleans - Wed 19 (L) Golden State - Fri 21 (L) Phoenix - Sat 22 (W) Call me crazy but I think this 2nd half we will be 30-11 putting our overall season record to 52-30.

"Charlotte(1) - Only because for some reason they beat all great teams." We're not a great team Therefore we'll own Charlotte. I like your positive thinking though!
Yup. You're crazy. A massive comet will strike the earth before the Rockets get 30 wins in the second half of the season.
Eh, I think it will be closer to 30 than 20 myself. With the way the team has played the middle quarter of the season without T-Mac, throwing him back in there seems good enough to make a 4-5 game improvement over the 1st half.(carbon copy the first half and you are at 44 wins, improve 4 games and you are at 48 wins).
We need to beat GW, NO, POR and UTAH. If we can do that, we will be in the playoff. I dont care how many wins we will end up with.
