With 2 games against the same team in a month, there is usually a split. The loser of the first game usually works twice as hard the next game to win it. 1 and 2 losses-Split with the Laker and Clippers. 3 losses-Lose to GSW(Phoenix 2). 4 losses-Lose to a team we aren't supposed to lose to. 5 losses-lose to SA 7-5
I'll take 8-4, maintaining our wins at a 66% clip. I also believe this is slightly on the optimistic side, so I'll be happy if this comes true.
10 as t-mac hopes. i read in the news somewhere that t-mac mentioned he hopes to have 10 wins every month
The long stretch of 12 games in 21 days...Yao's body is my biggest concern. Hope his gf won't work him too much...LOL.
Wed 6 at Minnesota W Fri 8 at Charlotte W Sat 9 at Washington W Tue 12 Home LA Lakers L Thu 14 at Golden State W Fri 15 at LA Lakers L Sun 17 at LA Clippers L Wed 20 at Portland W Fri 22 at San Antonio L Sat 23 Home LA Clippers W Tue 26 at Indiana L Wed 27 at New Jersey W 7-5. Maybe we can win a few more if Bonzi starts playing.
i will say: @min W @cha W @was L lal W @gsw L @lal L @lac W @por W @sas L lac W @ind W @njn L 7-5 i also think we will win our home games against the warriors, hawks, and grizzlies this month which will bring us to 10-5, and 21-10 overall.
Why fire JVG!? It's not possible to win 16 out of 12!! ...just kidding. The Rockets shouldn't lose to the Warriors, even though they have been playing well and their PGs (Ellis, Davis) should kill ours (Alston, Head, VSpan) our team is better overall and i'll still take Yao Ming over a highly improved Andris Biedrins. Also, even though GSW plays a high paced game, they can't control the tempo NEARLY as well as the Suns do and they can't close out games to save their season (they just lost close ones against the Pacers and Bucks ). I say 8. I would like for the Rockets to keep a .666 or higher winning percentage through the season. Twice as many wins as losses is good stuff.
8:4 i think we're now 7:1 against east and 4:4 against west. Among the 12 game stretch, east:west=4:8 So we can get 8 wins at least considering they are no stronger than our ops in Nov.
My prediction will be 8-4 Wed 6 at Minnesota W Fri 8 at Charlotte W Sat 9 at Washington L Tue 12 LA Lakers W Thu 14 at Golden State W Fri 15 at LA Lakers L Sun 17 at LA Clippers W Wed 20 at Portland W Fri 22 at San Antonio L Sat 23 LA Clippers W Tue 26 at Indiana W Wed 27 at New Jersey L
