    4 games until the schedule toughens.

    4 games of utter hell.

    In the next 10 days we will face the league's elite. The 3 best records in the NBA, the three strongest teams, and the team that has become our nemisis - the one we can't even get to lose by less then double digits - the Phoenix Suns


    2-2 and that's impressive. Anything better is incredible. If we somehow manage to take 2 out of 3 from the leagues elite - well guys, we've got a serious contender in these Rockets for sure!

    If we fail to win one game against the Spurs, Suns, or Mavs (which shouldn't be unexpected), I expect the "Fire JVG" threads to pop up again.

    We're not supposed to win any of those games.

    I mean, if we beat those teams without Yao, what would we do to them when Yao plays?

    I am already fine with whatever the result will be, because I know our guys will play hard against each one of those teams.

    I'd be very happy if we win one of the three games.

    2-2 and I should be very satisfied.

    Even though then I will probably think to myself, "Damn if we beat two of those teams, we definitely have the capability to win all 4 games."

    Then I will be frustrated as to why the Rockets didn't go 4-0.

    Ahhh the dilemma!

    Name one other coach that would lead the Orlando Magic err the McGrady Rockets to a 9-2 record in the tough West

    Some of you couldn't see greatness if it hit you in the face

    The man is a genius

    I wish he would write a book so I would read it. He's an encyclopedia not just on basketball, but on life

    Not only will the "Fire JVG" threads start popping up, but we'll get all the "Rafer sucks" threads as well.

    Against the big three I'm hoping to win one, would be ecstatic to win two, and wouldn't be surprised if we lost to all three. It's a tough stretch.

    well, Fire Gundy might be out of line here, but the "Rafer Sux" threads are pure facts.. :cool:

    Rafer really sucks, it's not debateable; there's no doubt about it..

    P.S: this is not a joke; the JVG thing was a joke..

    4-0. This team knows that if they want to win it all, they have to go through at least two/three of these four teams. The moves to the top are made now. I can't help but think that we're ready to be the best team in the NBA. We have a team that plays hard every night, each player has taken turns stepping up and we have the best player in the NBA if he gets hot. It's going to be a blast in the next 4 games.

    At least we can beat the Nuggets?

    If we don't steal one against the Mavs our only chance of winning 1 out of the 3 is against the Spurs.

    How are we going to win a back to back against the Suns who are red hot?

    The team we play before them (the Mavs) have been just as red hot.

    I say we go 1-3. We beat the Nuggets but I don't think we can beat the other teams, not without Yao, not the way they are playing.

    Whaaaaat? Nah dude. I don't doubt JVG at all. You got the wrong McGrady SN.

    ;)

    Are you guys going to Dallas?

    I'll be looking forward to seeing you guys on TV

    Keep it up Rowdies.

    One little disagreement. Do you think if those teams were missing Duncan/ Parker, Nowitzki or Nash/Amare, you would be able to judge them based on that? The Suns started 1-5 without Amare or with Amare playing badly

    actually, u are not mistaken; not only am I a JVG doubter, but I am a long time JVG HATER.. I hate this bald r****ded stubborn guy, I really do..

    and please, dont assume that our wins are a result of his "great coaching". he has been doing a decent job, not a "great" job as many of y'all JVG lovers like to call it..

    but since our team is doing well, I am kinda easy on him these days and I let out a "Fire Gundy" thing as a joke..

    but dont be surprised if this joke turns into reality after a stupid loss caused by him getting outcoached (not against a great team like Dal, SA, or PHX)

    :D :D
