Remaining Schedule 

Post#1 » by Mr. E » Wed Mar 19, 2014 2:06 pm

Minnesota - WIN
@ Cleveland - WIN
@ Charlotte - WIN
Philadelphia - WIN
Clippers - LOSS
@ Brooklyn - LOSS
@ Toronto - LOSS
OKC - WIN
Denver - WIN
@ Lakers - WIN
@ Denver - LOSS
@ Minnesota
New Orleans
San Antonio
@ New Orleans


15 games. Which Rockets team shows up?

Big ones are obviously OKC, SAS & the Clippers and we have all three of those at home. Brooklyn & Toronto are both on the road and both teams will be playing for playoff positioning, so I expect battles there.

The rest of the schedule seems to be full of teams that we should beat...but we seem to have a problem with teams like that at times. Our guys are now circled on everyone's schedules, so we're going to see teams with everything to gain and nothing to lose bring it to those games. We're going to see guys playing for their next contracts looking at Houston's questionable perimeter defense with hopes of big stat nights.

That said, there are no excuses (barring injury) for this team to not finish these final 15 games on a strong note.

I would like nothing more than to see many of these games with the starters and key bench guys riding the pine in the 4th because the game is well in hand!

I dunno. That Lakers game figures to be pretty rough, what with Kobe, Nash, and Gasol all on the same team.

The final fifteen start tonight against Minnesota!

Are we looking at a full roster tonight, or do we have any injury issues?

Saw on the ESPN ticker that Dwight is sitting out tonight's game but hopes to be back for CLE on Sat.

Love is gonna get 40 rebounds.

His return can wait until the Clippers game or the game before

When do we cut Greg Smith or Troy Daniels and sign Marcus Camby?

Lucky we have Asik, he's not that bad.

I was just thinking like that. I fear that we may be facing Dr. J's Sixers come this Thursday.

Wonder if Sam Hinke is rooting for a loss still. He must be disappointed with Wiggins and Parker's sub-star play in the tournament and Embiid's injury.

Keep the 4th spot, face Portland or GSW in the first round, SA in the 2nd, best chance of making it to the WCF.

Nothing will be easy this post-season, but I agree that this is currently the best scenario for us. I want OKC and the Clips on the other side of the bracket.

Alright, only one more playoff team! (Spurs) Can relax a bit.

Two games against Brooks!

The Spurs have basically clinched HCA throughout playoffs, that means they'll probably rest their guys against us. They're still pretty good but at least it will be a bit easier.

Will Brooks try to get his revenge in Denver?

son of a bitch gave us a 4 in 5! first 3 on the road. stern trolling the rockets and he's not even the commish no more

and judging by the teams on that road trip, they weren't supposed to be easy before the season started! someone needs to stop banging his daughter or stealing his weed. that's one helluva bullet the rockets dodged.

jokes on you bitch, the lakers, nuggets, and wolves suck! nice try a**hole. your parting gift is only gonna help us lock that 4th seed, and even gives us a chance at the 3rd seed muahahahahaa

Return to Houston Rockets
