14 games to go in January, and the Rockets don't face an impossible schedule - how do you see things going for them in the next few games?? Jan 6 at Toronto W Jan 8 vs Denver W Jan 10 at Charlotte W Jan 11 vs Sacramento W Jan 14 vs New Orleans/Oklahoma City W Jan 16 at Atlanta W Jan 18 vs Dallas L Jan 20 at Chicago W Jan 22 at Detroit L Jan 23 at Milwaukee L Jan 25 vs Charlotte W Jan 27 vs Minnesota W Jan 29 vs Miami L Jan 30 at Memphis L That's fairly conservative tipping - and it gives us a 9-5 record the rest of the way! That would put us at 21-23 to finish January, close to 8th spot, and with a certain player coming back, would make us a formidable opponent the rest of the way! To be fair, the next 8 games aren't terribly hard - only 1 team with a winning record - a REAL chance to make a pretty substantial move; and with the players winning a couple, finding their rythm, I wouldn't be surprised to see us hit those harder end of the month games with a bit more confidence and perhaps spring some sort of result against some of the better teams! What do you say? Will the Rockets make a push in the next 8 games, or will the fold and disappear?

We end january at .500
Raptors W Nuggets WE'll see Bobcats W KIngs W Hornets W its payback time Hawks W Mavs Payback time aswell ? Bulls W Pistons L Bucks W Bobcats W Wolves WE'll see Heat WE'll see what team shows up Grizzlies Should win here W Bucks W Sonics W
So out of those upcoming 16 games I predict 11 wins/ 2 loses i'm sure and 3 tossups that could go either way. Would you guys say I'm about right on that? Go Rockets!!!

I don't agee with you that we lose to the Bucks and win vs the pistons. Are you sure you quit drinking. HA HA JK GO Rockets!!!
Back to back games, they'll be up for the Pistons game but if they win they could have a let down against the Bucks

His return will be a big boost because it allows the Rockets to minimize Bowen's play and gives us another scorer/slasher/passer alongside Mcgrady. My target date for Yao's return is the 25th at home against Charlotte. The Rockets may not lose again all year after he comes back. The Dallas game is a concern at home, without Yao, but they have been chumps on the road recently, losing to Minnesota and the Lakers, so we should handle them, DA will need to be back by then though.
