Once again, I was hopeful that this 5-game winning streak was a sign of good things. Once more I was burned. Clutch has it right in the Rox. Vs. Suns game thread: It is probably not wise to trust the rockets to be consistent unless they win a championship. It hurts to say it -- but there it is. That being said, here are my personal predictions: 15 Mon Phoenix 6:30 pm -- TNT LOSE 19 Fri @ Golden State 9:30 pm Ch.51 ESPN WIN 21 Sun @ Sacramento 6:30 pm Ch.51 ESPN LOSE 22 Mon @ Portland 9:00 pm Ch.51 NBALP LOSE 24 Wed Toronto 7:30 pm Ch.51 NBALP WIN 26 Fri @ Memphis 7:00 pm Ch.51 NBALP LOSE 28 Sun @ Milwaukee 3:00 pm Ch.51 NBATV WIN 29 Mon Minnesota 7:30 pm Ch.51 NBALP LOSE April 1 Thu @ L.A. Lakers 9:30 pm -- TNT LOSE 2 Fri @ Denver 8:00 pm Ch.51 NBALP LOSE 4 Sun Sacramento 12:00 pm -- ABC LOSE 6 Tue @ Golden State 9:30 pm Ch.51 NBALP WIN 7 Wed @ L.A. Clippers 9:30 pm Ch.51 NBALP LOSE 9 Fri Denver 7:30 pm Ch.51 NBALP WIN 10 Sat @ Utah 8:00 pm Ch.51 NBALP WIN 12 Mon @ Seattle 9:00 pm Ch.51 NBALP LOSE 14 Wed Dallas LOSE FINAL RECORD: 45-38 I know I'll get flamed for being negative but: 1) Those Denver games are huge. I mean really huge. And we are better than them. Which means we'll probably lose one. 2) The clippers always seem to give us hell. I think we'll probably pull a suns on that one. 3) Seattle has our number. 4) The remaining big four (mavs, lakers, kings, wolves) will step up to thump us. We might beat the wolves, but I'm not counting on it. 5) Lots of back-2-backs on the road. Ouch. Flame away, --rhad

Let's not let one five game streak go to our heads.
You never know with the Rockets--- They can easily go 10-6 with that schedule, but at the same time I can see them going 6-10 as well!!
If we lose 4 out of our last 5 while fighting for a playoff spot, I'd say we don't deserve to be in the playoffs. While I agree a 5 game winning streak shouldnt go to our heads, I don't think we should let 1 loss do it either. It happens. This team WILL NOT lose 4 out of the last 5 especially to the Clippers and the Sonics with our playoff lives on the line.
