    Looking at the schedule I think it's VERY POSSIBLE for the Rockets to go 7-0 in April. I believe the Rockets will really benefit from playoff teams resting starters and poor teams tanking.

    Spurs( we're home and Spurs probably sit their starters.)
    Atlanta( I'm worried a little.)
    Sacramento( In full tank mode by then.)
    New Orleans( Currently playing very poor, a must win on the road.)
    Clippers( Won't be tanking because of Cavs trade, home game)
    Dallas( Very likely to rest their starters, home game)
    Minnesota( In full tank mode)

    I believe the two best teams on that list won't play their starters, 4 of the next 5 won't make the playoffs. Let's hope S.A and Dallas continue to win.

    Undefeated in May?

    We will probably be 8th seed and play the Spurs. They are old, an injury happens, we just out gun them like the Suns did last year.

    4-0

    and then we probably get Lakers. Lowry destroys Fisher, Goran goes crazy again. Hayes shuts down Gasol. Bynum gets injured. Let's Kobe score his points. We have a chance to sweep them :):):)

    4-0

    should I go further lol

    I know, I know. I'm just providing a little light at the end of the tunnel.
    Think, we play 3 non-playoff teams in a row now, win those, and a 5-2 April makes reaching 44 wins very possible.

    Yeah, I want to concentrate on March before April.

    13 games in March: 9 to 4

    9 wins: @LAC, V IND, @SAC, @PHX, V PHX, V CHAR, V UTAH, V GS, @NJ
    4 losses: V SA, V BOSTON, @ MIAMI, @ PHI

    April: 5 to 2

    5 wins: V SAC, V LAC, @MIN, @NO, V ATL
    2 losses: V SA, V DAL (Assuming stars playing)

    Total: 14 to 6. Record: 45-37. Last 32 games: 23-9.

    So... I am worried about matching up with Boston or Orlando in the finals. I think we can deal with Miami, though.
