Rockets have played 39 games. 23 wins and 16 loss. A ratio 23/39=59%. Out of 39, 22 are home games. Home game: 17-5 77% Road game: 6-11 35% Rockets have shown a consistent w/l trend through the season. For the first 20 games, they win 12 and lose 8, a ratio 12/20=60%. For the last 19, 11 wins and 8 loss, a similar ratio 11/19=59%. The second half is tougher when Rockets have more road games: Home: 19 Road: 24 If Rockets stick to their ratio, they would win: 19x77% + 24x35% = 23 games For the whole season they would win total 46 games. Any comments that Rockets would secure a playoff spot by winning 46?
2nd half of the season is a totally different story, bud. Playoff-like atmosphere will be in the games against all playoff-contender teams after the All-Star break
