    Back-to-back aganist Sacramanto and Seattle :(

    We come back to host the Jazz and then head to New Oreleans before a 3 game homestand aganist Detroit, Portland and San Antonio. Then we head to SA again ;o etc.

    Pretty tough schedule ahead us don't you think?

    Portland is ripe for picking.

    Rox will beat them by 15+

    Rox 96 : Portland: 81

    :)

    Too optimistic, OmegaSupreme:D :D

    3-2 is reasonable, Win over LAC, Sac and Seattle.

    I am hoping for 5-0 because i do not expect any of those teams to withstand the defensive pressure the Rox put on. However lack of depth could hurt us and we may drop 1 or 2 of these games.

    Based on tonight's results, we can never tell which team will win. I guess except Houseton, which will win all the games. 5-0.

    :D

    3-2 at best but even that is going to be hard to achieve. I still don't know what to expect from them. They might take the Heat lightly and lose or they might focus well and beat one of the stronger teams on their day.
    One thing is for sure though if Yao doesn't pick up on offense we are going to be in big trouble.It's harder to shoot on the road and you can't expect Francis and Mobley to carry us every night.

    Seattle is back-to-back in Utah before Rox. Utah is a tough climate to play in. Advantage - even.

    I would consider 2 out of 5 to be fantastic, but 1 in 5 would not surprise me.

    unbelieveable. The rockets beat chicago, Nj without Kenyon Martin,denver,orlando and all of a sudden everyone thinks this team is going somewhere. Newsflash, 1-4 on road trip. I actually think they will have a very hard time with miami tomarrow. Screw it. I think they will lose to Dallas,and Suns,then go 1-4 on road trip. 6-7 record pretty soon. NO Taylor,Eddie,Pike, Ming is winded like crazy in the first quarter of every game,and Steve is still having to carry this team. Just like last year. You watch. Rudy wasnt this bad of a coach for this team to all of a sudden be a contender with a tired Ming and new coach.

    2-3 is more like it. I'd be very happy with 3-2 though.
