The Rockets have 20 games left from here on out... I can see us going 12-8 which would mean a final record of 43-39. Your predictions...
I looked at the schedule and this looks like the most likely outcome...the grizzlies schedule is awfully tough though..they may come down to earth soon.
I'll go optimistic here and say 45-37 to capture the 7th seed. I do have them winning one of the remaining games vs the Spurs and the Dallas game at the end of the year but besides those games everything else should be VERY winnable.
I counted 7 should-win games as wins and the 7 would-be-considered-an-upset games as losses. The other 6 were up in the air, so I considered that to be 3 wins. 10 wins and 10 losses. 41-41
W-Clippers W-Indiana W-Sacramento L-Phoneix L-San Antonio W-Phoniex W-Charlotte L-Boston W-Utah W-GoldenState L-Miama W-NJ W-Phi L-Spurs L-Atlanta W-Sacramento W-New Orleans W-Clippers L-Dallas W-Minnesota 12-8
I agree with this except I think we either win the Atlanta Or Phoenix game that you have as losses or both and lose to the hornets and end up 13-7. I wouldn't feel comfortable predicting any better than that but I wouldn't have predicted our last two wins either...
I see about 12 more wins on the schedule, so I'm going with 43-29 and finishing 9th in the conference.
