    Even with a Win, GSW plays the Jazz 2x and Portland 1x in the last 6.

    Just looked at the calendar and wins still matters, life is good. We have grown in so many ways.

    Go Rockets!

    They also have to play at Dallas(on a B2B), at the Lakers, and home against New Orleans.

    It's not unthinkable that they lose 4 more games. It would still require the Rockets winning out, but aside from the Sunday game at Dallas and maybe the season ender at the Clippers(depending on if they've locked up the 4th seed yet), we should be narrowly favored in each one.

    I think when everyone looked at our schedule towards the end of the 11 game win streak, they penciled in a loss to the Twolves and a loss for one of the Mavs games. So, you could argue nothing has significantly changed.

    Honestly, even if we miss the play-in, beating the Warriors would be a nice sweetener for the end of the season.

    True. I assumed they'd lose to the Mavs and T'Wolves. The problem is I was also hoping Dallas would win at Golden State. And they can only afford to lose one against the Mavs, so Sunday is essentially a must win(as is every other game remaining).

    The Magic still have all their Front Court arsenal of Banchero, Wagner, WagnerMo, Isaac, Wendell Carter and Bitadze.

    I do not see them being favored against that other than on paper.

    The Magic are a below .500 team on the road. The Rockets should be narrowly favored in that game.

    I'm actually more worried about Miami. They're 22-16 on the road and we'll be on a B2B while they'll be rested.

    All depends what the shooting percentages, Free throw attempts and percentages, rebounding are at those games.

    You are right that the Rockets are on the end of a B2B with Golden State and Miami and then not too far way is the Away Game in Dallas.

    It should also hinge on the results of the Golden State and Miami game if the Rockets are still in the thick of the Play In race or if they can play 3rd stringers.........

    Kuminga is supposed to be healthy for that game, whatever that means.

    Let's root for the Jazz to beat them twice, both giving us a shot and putting them above the Nets in the standings.

    I think that we all can agree that Golden State was to blame for the outage ... seeing how this BBS is instrumental in getting the Rockets ready for each game :D

    The game is almost anticlimactic now but both teams should be invested. The Warriors still have a chance to avoid the #9/#10 game and the Rockets just plain don't like the Warriors.
