The Rockets play both the Sonics and Clippers twice during their final seven games, which is good, but ten of their last 15 games are on the road, which is definitely bad. feb 26 - washington feb 29 - memphis mar 02 - denver mar 05 - indiana mar 06 - at dallas mar 08 - new orleans mar 10 - new jersey mar 12 - at atlanta mar 14 - charlotte mar 16 - lakers mar 18 - boston mar 19 - at new orleans mar 21 - at golden state mar 22 - at phoenix mar 24 - sacramento mar 26 - minnesota mar 30 - at san antonio apr 01 - at sacramento apr 03 - at portland apr 04 - at seattle apr 06 - at clippers apr 09 - seattle apr 11 - phoenix apr 13 - at denver apr 14 - at utah apr 16 - clippers
man we play much better on the road, esp. tracy. if we're truly a great team, we have to fight through this tough schedule in march and end of april.
We have some tough second games of back-to-backs. March 6th @ Dallas March 19th @ New Orleans March 22nd Phoenix April 4th Seattle April 14th @ Utah
mar 16 - lakers mar 18 - boston mar 19 - at new orleans mar 21 - at golden state mar 22 - at phoenix this is the part of the schedule that looks rough.... 5 games in 7 nights, 4 games in 5 nights against the nba's best? even as well as we're playing, i'd be happy with 3-2
If you have postseason aspirations every game is treated the same way. There's no good part or bad part of the schedule. The work you put into the game should be the same no matter who the oppponent is. I am not worried about the schedule. I am only looking forward to seeing if the Rockets can sustain their level of play. Sometimes you play well and you lose and sometimes you play badly and you win. Improvement is far more important than the record. When you start the playoffs it's 0-0
I don't know if I'd say we're playing better on the road anymore (because we've picked up our play at home now), but we definitely should not be afraid of seeing some road games on our schedule...
my prediction: feb 26 - washington W feb 29 - memphis W mar 02 - denver W mar 05 - indiana W mar 06 - at dallas L mar 08 - new orleans W mar 10 - new jersey W mar 12 - at atlanta W mar 14 - charlotte W mar 16 - lakers L mar 18 - boston W mar 19 - at new orleans L mar 21 - at golden state L mar 22 - at phoenix L (two back-to-backs in five days. ) mar 24 - sacramento W mar 26 - minnesota W mar 30 - at san antonio L apr 01 - at sacramento W apr 03 - at portland W apr 04 - at seattle W apr 06 - at clippers W apr 09 - seattle W apr 11 - phoenix W apr 13 - at denver W apr 14 - at utah L apr 16 - clippers W 19-7 in the final two months, with 55-27 overall. If we could handle those two back-to-backs from Mar 18 to Mar 22, we would get a higher standing.
that tells me we should be better at home. Actually go look how many other teams have better records on the road in the Western Conference. not many. and that's with our bumpy start and injuries. edit: only the lakers has more wins on the road in the wc.
Aren't we supposed to be better on the road? The record would indicate..... G W-L FG% 3P% FT% OFF DEF TOT APG SPG BPG PPG Home 27 18-9 .445 .351 .700 13.3 31.6 44.9 22.9 7.4 5.4 96.9 Road 29 18-11 .455 .335 .748 11.0 32.7 43.7 21.1 7.3 5.1 95.8
