With Westbrook out timely for us I think we have a real chance to win the next 10! 1. @Thunder 2. Kings 3. Knicks 4. Lakers 5. @Hawks 6. @Wizards (second game in 2 days on the road) 7. @Celtics 8. @Pelicans 9. Thunder (second game in 2 days) 10. Bucks What do you guys think?
Rockets should almost always go at least 7-3 in their ten games but they have stinkers every now and then. (Dallas, Utah, Philly, Sacramento) I say we go 7-3. Loss to Thunder, Pelicans, and one other scrub team.
This is a good opportunity to go on a lengthy winning streak if we stay focused. I think we will drop a game or two to a scub team somewhere in there unfortunately due to us not playing hard. I also think it'll be tough to win in OKC. Even without Westbrook they will be fired up to play us.
In order to achieve 50 plus win, need to capitalize on this relatively easy stretch. 7-3 is just pass. 8-2 is very satisfactory, 9-1 is highly commendabe performance.
It will be hard to beat OKC tomorrow on the second half of a back to back, the guys will be tired. Also, we tend not to take lesser teams seriously so they might win a couple but I'm hoping the team matures a bit over the next month.
If the Rox want to secure the 4th seed, or maybe even catch SA, they absolutely positively must capitalize on this upcoming stretch of games.
After the. Losses in Philly, Dallas(twice) suns, lakers and Utah, we can't take anything or anyone for granted.
