But I'd rather see the whole list if you're trying to do this work to save me time. Not trying to hate on your work.
Tough stretch. I'm looking forward to the TOR game a lot. They beat the absolute hell out of us and lead the entire game in our previous meeting. Our worst loss on the season, in my opinion.
I'm not sure about that. The Warriors have an easier schedule the remainder of the season, with fewer back to back games. The Rockets are going to have to finish very strong to get home court.
Expect GARM freak out soon/ I hate harden Morey ryno etc. Our records are inflated a bit right now. It will come back to earth after this stretch. That's a good thing imo so we can see our true weaknesses against better teams and also tweak with rotations.
10-5 would be pretty impressive in that stretch. And the Rockets should be favored in every game after the next 15. The scary thing is that finishing the season 64-18 might not be enough to get the #1 seed. The Rockets are in a similar predicament to those mid-90s Sonics and Jazz teams that each won 64 games......only to find themselves facing the 72 and 69 win Bulls respectively.
This Warriors team looks like they have more than 3 losses left in them. They are not the mid-90s Bulls.
Rockets are going to have to earn that top seed. Really tough schedule coming up, Warriors could snap out of this funk at any time.
This is the Warriors' remaining schedule: LAC OKC @NYK @WAS @ATL BKN SAS @POR @min LAL SAC @phx @sas ATL UTA IND MIL @SAC PHX @OKC @IND NOP @phx @UTA Granted, they're not the same Warriors team as in past seasons, so we can't just assume they'll win almost all of those games. But which ones would they really stand a chance at dropping? Both OKC games will be tough. They have another one at Portland where they just lost. At Minnesota is certainly tough. At the Spurs won't be easy, especially if Kawhi is back by then. Two games remain with Utah, although the one at Salt Lake City is on the final day of the season and we don't know if the Jazz will have anything to play for that night. At Indiana could also be tough. My gut tells me they lose 4-5 games the rest of the way barring injuries. If that's the case, the Rockets can only lose 5-6 more games which is a tall order. We'll see what happens.
I think it will take 64 wins to get the #1 seed. It is possible but I wouldn’t count on it. More concerned about being healthy than getting the #1 seed.
Brutal schedule but looking forward for that Toronto game. One of our worst defensive efforts of the year and the refs that night were complete crap.
That's what it's looking like. The 2nd best record in the West is almost a lock, so they'll at least have home court through 2 rounds which is huge. It's the reason they got to the WCF in 2015(ironically by knocking out CP3's Clippers). I don't think it was the deciding factor last season vs the Spurs, but home court in that pivotal Game 5 sure wouldn't have hurt.
