The reason that the rockets would win the first round playoff this year.

I think hight might still bite us in the *ss

 

not to mention our superior lock down D. We have Defensive specialist at every position! Better 3 point shooting as well! Over all our team is better then last year, but it all depends who we get in the 1st round.. I hope we run into dallas.. I would love to put a beat down on dallas b/c I live up here in Fort Worth..

 

I am not sure I like Dalls either, J. Terry always seems to have great games against us. Don't forget Barrea either he gave us fits this last game.

Howard
Nowitzki
Terry
Barrea
Kidd
Bass


that is not a bad team now.

 

isn't it way to early to discuss about tat.?
we only got a 6 win in a row but it doesn't mean we can keep it til the end of the season
and in playoffs
every team is different , way tougher than the one itself in the regular season

 

I concur and have faith.....we WILL make some noise this year.

 

You forgot the most important one ... not having the dark cloud on the court.

 

fixed.

 

I would say that last year we were minus one of our stars, with no one to sub in for him.

Now we have Artest and Scola has become a Top ten PF in the NBA.

 

here is my question:

if the Rockets make the Playoffs, do you guys really think we can compete with Brooks and Lowry against the elite point guards in the league?

We might easily get matched up with Chris Paul or Deron Williams in the First Round, with Tony Parker and/or Billups licking their chops in the next round...

 

I think that being young gives us a shot, they will both have a good game or two, but during the key matches in the series they will most likely be non factors.

The key will be to use our strenghts (the not so twin towers) to succeed.

 

I'm not sold quite yet on our double headed point guard option.

most of the games we played against the teams mentioned featured Rafer in a starting role, Brooks played limited bench minutes.

let's hope he can hold his own...

 

basically, they will be a better team than their opponent. This season the top western are much weaker. It's not case in the earlier playoff series. Dallas in 05 are way better than rockets and in both serieses with jazz rockets was hit by injures.

And now even without Tmac, Rockets should rank on top 3 with spurs and lakers. maybe Jazz and Portaland can give them some mismatch. Still for sure they should pass 1st round.

 

can you guys stop all the jinx. jeez, it's too early to talk about the playoffs. we still have a lot of tough regular season games left to play. anything, good or bad, could happen.
