you guys have to have a little more confidence than that. to put it into perspective, if we finish 0-13, the nuggets would still have to finish 7-6, since we have the tiebreaker over them. relax guys, we got this. i'm still optimistic we're going to get one of the home court seeds. our schedule isnt that tough the rest of the way comparatively.

Plus, there are no guarantees that the Rockets even win the games they're "supposed" to win, like matchups against the Sonics and Clippers.
If the Rox go 8-5 the rest of the way, they will finish with 55 wins, I think that will be good enough for the 2 or 3 seed. Meaning they finish the season 40-10 after a 15-17 start. The improvement directly relates to the increased roles of Landry and Scola, two very good pickups for the Rox.
