Rockets have a fighting chance against any of these teams. Sadly, I think this can be a 3-7 stretch. 7-3 would be nice. If they can somehow cruise now and get hot after the allstar break, that would be give them a chance to make a run for the playoffs.
If I were to put money on this I'd say 4-6. Sweep of Portland, beat Toronto, and then we'll steal one of the other games (hopefully the Jazz game at home)
3-7 is never right. vs. Miami L vs. Toronto W @ Portland W @ Denver L vs. Portland W @ Orlando L vs. Utah W @ Boston L vs. Oklahoma City L vs. New Orleans W ...that's how I see it anyway.

I don't think they're that hard: Absolutely winnable games: *Portland *Toronto Almost automatic loss games: *miami *boston Can go either way: *NO *OKC *Denver *Utah *Orlando Honestly if we play our cards right Boston and Miami are the only ones that can get really ugly.
Unwinnable games: 1. Orlando- Dwight Howard's size and quickness along with their renewed versatility always give us fits. 2. Utah - Have just had our number throughout the years. Nothing new here. 3.OKC - Too long, tall, and athletic. 4. Miami- Stacked with superstars. 5. Boston - Possess lockdown D and Rondo's playmaking cuts us into pieces. Winnable games: 1. Portland 2. Toronto 3. Denver 4. New Orleans
We can compete or beat Portland, Toronto, Denver, and New Orleans. It's everyone else that'll kick our ass.
There's been a trend. And when I say "unwinnable", I actually mean more like "very low chance of winning."
Hmmmmmm vs. Miami W vs. Toronto W @ Portland L @ Denver W vs. Portland W @ Orlando L vs. Utah W @ Boston L vs. Oklahoma City W vs. New Orleans L Looks like 6-4
looks like you dont watch the rockets much. a) we have beaten the magic plenty of times with d12 in the game. our defense can make him shoot uncomfortable shots b) we are just as athletic as oklahoma, xcept scola, and shane, and martin but we still manage to be right there with them scoring wise, the only reason we lost is because of our 4th quarter droughts c) stop with that jazz excuse, boozer is gone, which was one of our main problems. vs. Miami L vs. Toronto W @ Portland W @ Denver This can go either way. vs. Portland W @ Orlando L vs. Utah L @ Boston L vs. Oklahoma City W vs. New Orleans W YUP 5-5 or 6-4
