    This is how it will go down :


    @ Los Angeles Lakers - They should win ... so will loose.
    @ GS - Give their best effort to win ... will loose in a hard-fought game.
    @ PH - Will win
    @ Sacramento - Expect to win... so a loss
    @ Clippers - No chance... so they will fight and overtime nail biter ... win.

    2-3 at the end.

    I feel that we can beat anyone as long as we are bringing the energy.

    We get to play Golden State and the Clippers on the second half of a back to back. I can't really expect the Rockets to win those games. Phoenix is playing well, so it will be a tough game. The Rockets should beat the Lakers and Sacramento, but we've already lost to both of those teams earlier this year.

    I really don't think a 2-3 road trip is really all that disastrous. A one win road trip would be a disaster. I would be very happy with a 3-2 road trip or better. A 5-0 road trip would really wake up the NBA world.

    Easy 5-0. The only game we won't be favored in is the Clipper game, but we'll beat them too.

    4-1. Loss to the Warriors because they will want to prove something and will probably shoot like 60% from 3. :mad:

    I agree with you. The trade if any will be key in the up coming road trip.

    The Rockets won their first game after the Robinson trade last year (@ Brooklyn) and then went 2-2 after that.

    We only matchup poorly with the Clippers so 4-1 at best. We most likely go 3-1 in the other games so I'll say 3-2.

    This is the most important road trip of the season (http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=8634643&postcount=1)

    I think the next 5 games determine if we are elite or just good. Doesn't matter if we go 4-1. What matters is how we look at aginst all these teams and going 4-1. Losing big to the clippers after the last few times they kicked our butts would probably show being a contender was seriously flawed.

    I expect them to come out of the break with fire in their eyes; if not, I will be disappointed. Realistically, I think 3-2 is a must. Anything less will be a downer.

    If we lose to the Lakers I will probably break my TV. That would be like no pride, no fire, no nothing. I am expecting the Rockets to clean their clock, big time.

    I'm pretty confident in Dwight and Harden's current production. I say 4-1 (I think we'll lose to the Clips)

    btw, can't wait for the rain of boos for D12. I wonder if it'll effect him mentally. Hit those free throws, big guy!

    I say 3-2.

    ETA: I mostly just want Dwight to go HAM on the Lakers.

    why is everyone writing off the queens. Boogie, IT and Gay make a pretty good big 3. And let's not forget about Jimmermania.
