Rockets #1 in CBS Power Rankings

When is the ring ceremony? Do everyone in attendance gets a copy of the ring too? Like the Cavs did.

 

We aren't #1. Let's at least beat these next two imminently beatable teams before this jinx kicks in.

 

respect is respect even if it is for a moment

 

We have one of the best regular season coaches. Let's wait until the playoffs until we bust our load. Still very happy with the progress we're making.

 

Shoot I must have accidentally gone to the alt rockets page again

 

In this thread: Clutchfans not knowing how to react to media respect.

This is uncharted territory for us boys.

 

gotdammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

because its Houston tradition to generall underperform when we are given credit finally.

 

How many banners do we get to raise for being #1 this week in the CBS power rankings?!

 

SOMEBODY POST THE ADMIRAL ACKBAR IT'S A TRAP MEME NOW!

 

ESPN still trying to keep Rockets fans humble. #mediconspiracy

Lmao Spot on..or he would say "this team does it night in and night out"

 

I'd put as as 5th behind GS/SA/Cle/LAC

But it's nice to be loved. Team has really surprised me and been a joy to watch. Complete 180 from last year.

 

That's more like it. I can handle #5. No jinx likely there. And with regard to ESPN's comments on the Rockets, yes D'Antoni deserves Coach of the First Trimester over Memphis. The Rockets have had a brutal schedule and were without Bev for half of it.

 

CBSsports actually gets it, who is the best team / most powerful / playing the best basketball at the moment is the right way to define Power Rankings. ESPN & NBA.com tend to go by overall record, despite poor play, and keep teams they slobber over at the top regardless of results. They just play it safe and rather look at the mean than the peaks, so would say the Warriors and Spurs are better than how they are playing currently. However, that simply means they are not playing the best and since it's weekly rankings, I don't see how anyone can argue that the Rockets are not at least top 3.

 

I like Houston better than LAC/SAS right now.

I'd put them at three behind GSW/Cleveland.

 

No way the Clippers are better than us. That lazy and false narrative pisses me off more than the others. The Clippers have accomplished nothing greater than Vinny Del Negro did in the 5 years Doc Rivers has been there. Doc is overrated and so is his soft squad.

 

There role players are getting olddddd!
