Check that, the post all star game schedule as you will here that on seemingly every broadcast during what I am calling our Playoff Run. At this writing we are 3-2 PASB (post all star break). Also at this time we are 36-24 as we play Minnesota. I earlier "hoped" for a 15-7 close to the last 22 games which would translate to 18-8 PASB, a 69% winning percentage: a little better than we have done this year and significantly better than the 50% the last 20 games.
This is a playoff run. It should be so fun and so good for this teams growth, experience and hopefully confidence going into the playoffs. I plan to edit and update the scores though probably not every game as I am more into watching than posting. + or - is my projected probability of a win of over/under 50%. We should win some - projection games but we will lose some + games.

Projected records: 49-23; 15-11 PASB (less than 18-8 I hope for but still 58% and consistent with 60% so far. Projections are also for a pair of 6-4 records over 10 game segments 7 and 8. We shall see as I start watching from behind the Tpups where we lead 63-44 at half!
Now that I post this...I really want to see us step up and beat the heck out of the projections which tend to equal the first half of the season status quo...pre-injury. To move up to 5th, we will have to be at least 52 wins, not 49.
I no longer think we can catch the Rockets. They are playing really well right now. They get away with small ball because at the 1-2-3 and maybe 4 positions, they are actually very physical and PJ Tucker, the only Rocket I respect, is very very strong at the 5. He is the new 3 and D at the 5 position. I have seen them 3 times. They are impressive...for now. I still hate them even while giving them a wee bit of respect.
I can see us pulling off 52 wins. Didn't feel too biased when I went through it. I could see us going as low as 48 as well. That would put us at a 50 win if I took the median average but I wouldn't be too afraid to put my money on a 52 ender if we do not tank any games on purpose for rest or playoff match up strategy.
