Not sure about 5, but they can only play at this level for so long.

To be fair, put up the Lakers(the team that lost to the Kings) or Spurs vs. them and they could easily get 3 losses.

The Rockets will go 7-3 and will be seating on top of the Western Conference by the end of the ten games

they have around a 10% chance of losing exact 5 games in the next 10 games. they have a higher chance of losing more or losing fewer but not exactly 5.

3-6

I guarantee it. The Rockets are coming back to reality soon as they realize that Yao isn't in the middle.

The reason we have been playing so good is because of our defense. If there is a team out there that can break the defense on a night the Rockets aren't shooting good, then yeah the rockets are done in that game. But to hold IMO the best player in the league "LBJ" and not let him run through our defense is a pretty good accomplishment. Lets see if we can do the same against Kobe. I'm not commenting on the wins or losses, because as of right now they can go in playing the T-Wolves and still lose, depending on how they play.

Easy wins all except Lakers, Spurs and Warriors when we are going to lose 2 or 3 of them.

Man... LBJ got a triple double against us.

This is where they will start to miss Yao.

No way they can keep the streak alive through that slate of games.

If they somehow did then TMac would deserve MVP

They'll lose to LA, Boston and San Antonio.

Boston
Detroit
Orlando
Utah
Lakers
San Antonio
Phoenix

Any of these teams sound familiar, they shouldn't to Rockets fans, they haven't played any of these teams in the past 20 games. Find me one other team in the league that plays a quarter of their schedule and doesn't play at the very least one of these teams.

In fact that last time they did they lost. These are the legit Contenders in both the Eastern and Western Conferences, if you feel Dallas has been excluded, go back and play them at full health with Dirk Nowitzki.

They are a combined 7-10 against the previously mentioned teams, .411 winning percentage against the cream of the NBA.

5-5 or 6-4 sounds about right to me.

I feel flattered to see that you put the Magic on that list...
Even though I will say that any team winning this many in a row has to have a favorable schedule, that shouldn't take away from them.

Kobe scored 81 on the Raptors....But it's the Raptors??? Whocares, no one else could do it. Same here, they beat who was in front of them 20 times in a row and with rather ease.

I don't care if you play the Heat 20 times in a row, it is still impressive
