Rockets ain't gonna make to playoffs

If you have 2 of the best one on one players in the game then you should have some Isolations but not everytime up the court. And why does Cuttino take all the shots in the 4th quarter and everybody just stands there and watches? Is it too late to sign Rodman

 

Must be all the "bad coaching" from RT, I keep hearing about????????

Yep that's it for sure.

Rudy cannot coach a team to play within itself and contain the likes of (arguably) the best center in the league today.

14 minutes. 6 fouls. No Cato. Dream and Collier. Yep, must be the bad coaching I keep hearing about from some these other experts, Lil Francis.

It's funny how after every time the Rockets beat the Lakers over the past two years, Phil Jackson is typically quoted as saying the Lakers played terribly..as if the Rockets were simply front seat observers to a Laker implosion. MAybe they play like crap against the Rockets because the Rockets make them do that...and, for the sake of argument, even if the Rockets aren't responsible for the lakers demise, you would think a championship team like the Lakers would make a point to end a trend of consistantly not doing well against the Rockets. So, no, this "lakers werent playing up to their potential" excuse that always comes out just doesnt sit well with me...

Man, if we get one of these threads after every Rockets loss, we're look at maybe... oh, I would say...37 threads...

Caveman is right-we aren't going to the playoffs this year unless some things change. We can't play the Lakers every night, and if we did we'd be a .500 team.

But I still think that the guy is a dick. Always b****ing and never offering solutions or suggestions to make the team better.

So Caveman, are you a fan, and if so, of what team? Reply, please.

Ok, we are just 8-games into the season, so there is no point in talkin about them NOT makin the playoffs just cause they lose a game! Here's what I have seen so far: The Rocks have DEFINITE potential, but are defnitely lacking in a few areas, such as teamplay (lets not run ISO's all the time). They have proven they can hang with the best (Minnesota comeback). They have proven they can beat the best (Lakers). But they still have a long way to go to BE the best (Clippers loss?!). I believe the ROckets have a definite potential to shake things up in the playoffs (but not go all the way). Right now, though, i am unsure about them making the playoffs. Im not saying they wont or will, just unsure at the moment (for one cause the season is still early).

And Valio!, i TOTALLY hear ya! Im tired of hearing that crap from Phil Jackson.

portland is not three times better than us. i dont think they will win a title with the kind of team they have(too much depth and not enough proven scorers). Its stil too early to say they arent playoff-bound.

 

FYI: 1999-2000 8th seed was Kings at 44-38. A whopping 3 games above .500 (.537) and one game behind the Sonics at 45-37.

Heh,heh. If Kobe's one on one iso's weren't there, the score would have been a twenty point Rocket victory so chill yourself cavedweller.

I was at the game too. Shaq was owned inside. Kobe lived at the line with every petty hand touch that came near him. KT was audibly slapped several times without a call, and give me a break, but Kobe Wan Knobe palms the ball and pushes off with his off-hand on virtually every one of his sweep drives.

It never ceases to amaze me how the Laker fans always have a ready excuse for any team that outplays them. The Lakers played terribly because they were out coached. Again. You had no answer for our matchups during the meat of the game.

Make no mistake, the Championship LA Lakers were almost beaten by a very tralented team. I love it when they start believing there own press.

Ya'll dodged a bullet there CroMag.

Relax my fellow Rockets fans. We might be losing these games and we might see more of Cat ISo's and ball hogging, we might see more of Francis & Cat dribbling too much, or a lot of Mo Rebounding prowess at 3 per game but that doesn't mean we aint gonna make the playoffs. I say we'll be the 6th - 8th seed trust me on this. Because I think we'll beat the teams we are supposed to beat (except for the Clips) plus we'll get surprising victories against the powerhouses of the west. There are 70 more games and we'll win 45 out of the remaining 74.

We can hang with the Lakers but Portland is 3times better than us. I don't understand how Shaq can kill every center in the NBA and struggle against Collier,KT, and Dream.
