It's awesome we're playing against Orlando after the Rafer trade. It'll be gratifying to see Rafer not playing in a Rockets uni, cementing the fact that he's really gone from the team. Extra gratification will be achieved if he has one of his regular shooting nights. However, I think Rafer will play harder than usual and have a good game against us, prompting knee jerk threads about how the Rafer trade was a huge mistake and that the Rockets will miss his presence in the playoffs.
I would like to lose to any team other than the blazzers and mavs, which may probably face us in the first round. Losing to our opponent of the first round is definitely a bad thing for our team which is famous for mental softness.
Likely it is going to be 6-3 or 7-2, do not have a hope too high, also not too low. This team can win the games at the rate of 65%.
one game in seven days, this could help us by giving the team rest. but in the stretch run, being idle for consecutive days in a close race could drop us in the rankings by virtue of everyone else playing and beating up on each other...
With a schedule like that you could fall out of the playoff picture. When is Landry coming back, we need him.
Lose to the LAC? that is like being 100 points up with 0.3 seconds left on the clock and losing. Impossible..Even though it isn't but it is like a .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 chance.
