The Rockets play 7 of their next 8 on the road. Toronto Philadelphia (back to back) Golden State (Home) Portland Los Angeles Clippers Utah Sacramento Seattle (back to back) I think the Rockets can go 6-2 on this trip (wins against Toronto, Golden State, Portland, LA, Utah and Seattle) but more feasibly 5-3. How do you think we will do on the upcoming trip?
Toronto and Philly are undersized. You would think that's good opportunity for Yao to dominate...but given his recent experience with smaller opponents I'm not quite sure. I think we might go 6-2. Losses to Portland and Seattle.
I say we will go 5-3 Toronto and Philly will both be wins. Golden State will be a win. Portland will be a loss. Clippers and Jazz will both be wins although Jazz have looked pretty good considering their talent level. Sacramento and Seattle will both be losses. Brutal that we have to play these two teams back to back on the road.
I'll be happy with 5-3, more likely 4-4. We are going to play against six Western teams. You know what, in any night, it can be an upset in any Western matchup. In particular, six of the eight games will be on the road.
I would be pretty content with a 4-4 record. if rox can have a .500 road recod (especially against western teams), they can surely go deep in playoffs...
man that looks NASTY. At BEST 3-5. It could go 1-7 easily. Imagine how bad the threads and trade threads will be like in 2 weeks.
