(December Schedule) Grey Skies are Going to Clear up

i hate threads like these...the minute somebody posts an upcoming schedule and/or predicts the next 10 games or so, we immediately lose the next game and jinx the hell out of it...

 

If Luther Head is starting all those games then umm... No.

 

I haven't even looked at our schedule this year, because frankly there isn't a team out there we should be scared of. We could have beat Boston and LA (remember we had that big lead early? it seems so far away now). If the Rockets win, it's because they played well. If they lose, it's because they didn't. Simple as that. We are masters of our own destinies and it feels good because we haven't had this much talent since the Hakeem days. Now if we can just put it together in time, we can go on a nice roll no matter who our opponents are.

 

Only 4 games against really good teams. So, we should go at least 11-4 if we stay healthy. That would give us a 22-11 or 23-10 record after two months. Not bad.

 

Nice to have confidence, but the fact of the matter is LA had like a week's break and was incredibly rusty and careless with the ball during our big lead. They stomped us after that, and stomped us hard. However, we were indeed shorthanded, with a gimpy Tracy Mcgrady that did almost nothing in that game and guys like Shane Battier still out.

Boston is a different story and I do think that we have a much more realistic chance of beating them even without a full roster. However, as mentioned, we have the talent but we don't have the health and chemistry right now. All we can do is hope we get it before playoff time.

 

this is an excellent thread because of all of the NEGATIVITY

way to stay positive.. we have artest and yao.. 2 of the big 3 we should win all these games

 

Had we not botched the Pacer game, we would be going for what our sixth straight?

 

The team is too inconsistent rigth now, to be sure they won't botch some of the easier games. Now if this schedule had been in april, that would have had a whole other meaning and a thread like this would have made more sense.

For now, it's just wait and see. (There's even a saying: don't count the eggs before they are in your basket. )

 

Keep in mind, this is the best crappy start ever. It feels like we're playing abysmal basketball and losing games left and right. After a vicious and ugly November, we are 11-6, on course for 53 wins. If T-Mac gets back on track at least a little bit, and people start hitting their shots elsewhere, we're poised to have a great run. Oh, and we haven't had Battier until now.

 

Correct

and 11-6 could easily be 14-3, or even 15-2.

Celtics could have easily won - Blazers SHOULD have been ours - Lakers game we had the 16 pt lead - and Pacer game ....ugh.

 

Bump, because the forum needs this now more then ever.

 

Let's try the prediction thing again: 11-4? I'll take it.


3 vs LAC W

5 vs GS W

8 at Mem W

9 vs Atl W

12 at GS W

13 at LAC W

16 vs Den L

19 vs Sac W

20 at Min W

22 at NJ L

23 at Cle L

26 at NO W

27 vs Uta L

29 vs Was W

31 vs Mil W

 

I really believe it's gonna be a 15-0 month.

 

One game at a time, but I'm glad the schedule lightens up because we are gassed right now.

 

u believe in jinx? silly rabbit championship are for Houston.

 

yO yAO! Can I write a check? LOLOL

 

Actually, the Rockets play quite well in back to backs. I'd say the only obstacle is them playing down to their opponents.

 

do not loss in December. I believe

 

hey, do u think, this Rocket will win six straight victories??
