Just 1 post in response. I never stated we were out of it mathematically. That is obviously not the case. I was simply taking a general look at the quality of the teams in the West and stating my opinion.
Mathematically??????? one game in the lost column with an easier schedule half way on the season ???? And then say our chances are toast????? You really don't know nothing about a NBA basketball, no playoff, no championship, no nada are secured in the middle of the season. Pls just come clean and declare you a hater. (not that we don't know it already)
I said the Rockets obviously were NOT out of it, mathematically. BTW, I am not handing down the 10 commandments here. I am just guessing like many people do about this type of thing. And it don't matter, yo, if I don't know nothing.
thanks for clarifying that the Rockets aren't mathmetically eliminated yet...most of us couldn't figure that one out...1 game back in the loss column with 40 games left...how did you come up with that?...i'm glad I have you to help me figure that out otherise I would have been up for days trying to figure out all the different scenarios the rockets could still make the playoffs..... nobody is bashing you for having an opinion but nobody really likes fans who jump on and off bandwagons that quick...when the rockets make the playoffs and get past the 1st round, you will be on the bandwagon pretending like you have been behind this team since the beginning of the season...personally, these type of fans make me sick... if you call yourslef a rockets fan, then act like one and have some faith instead of trying to argue why you think the Rockets won't make the playoffs...argue that they will make the playoffs... thats how you spot a fan from a hater..... they have won 8-10....they look pretty damn good to me!!!
We will make the playoffs. The Lakers will start to fall back to the pack. With our schedule and new found talent (Landry) we will put it together and have a couple of 5-8 game winning streaks to get us back in it.
BrooksBall, With the reasons you give for the other teams making it, you can just as easily say the Rockets should make it (ie. based on talent). We're starting to see the team come together and play better all-round ball. Being behind most of those teams, obviously the Rocks have a disadvantage. But with their experience, I see them continuing their recent string of strong play and making it. Azim da Dream
Five teams close to .700 - Hornets, Phoenix, Dallas, San Antonio, Lakers I'll say they all make the playoffs. Even if one slips, I think they still make it in as a low seed. Five close to .600 - Denver, Golden State, Portland, Utah, Houston. Houston will make the playoffs and upset whoever they play in the first round. Go ahead, write that down. So, Denver, GS, Portland or Utah; only two of those four make it to post season play. Frankly, it just doesn't interest me which ones make it and which ones don't. Er, okay, I would love to see Utah not make it - but then I would also love watching us take them apart in the second round, should they squeek and and then get a first round upset.
We will win 50 games, so I think that will give us the 4th or 5th seed in the playoffs. And I feel sorry for who ever we play in the first round. I can't believe some people really think we won't make the plaoffs.
so when can we expect this crow to be eaten, and how do you like it fried? smoked? our boiled? bar bq sauce? teriyaki? just want to make it as tasty as possible...
I hope you are right but I still think the West is too deep this year and the Rockets will finish in 9th or 10th place.
Where can I find the official guide on how not to suck as a fan? Not every fan has to be eternally optimistic.
Sounds like you are guaranteeing we make the playoffs. Even if you disagree with my assessment, there is certainly no guarantee.
I'm not sure, but I'm sure there's a rule in there that says, "Don't put yourself on the record as guaranteeing your team having zero chance of making the playoffs when there's still 2/3 of the season left." That is the definition of sucking as a fan.
I can see where Brooks Ball is coming from, but to say there is no way that we are gonna make the playoffs is stupid. He put Utah as one of those teams that "will make the playoffs". They only have 1 more win than us, and we play them tommorow.
No such rule and no such guide. It was more like half the season left when I created the post. If feeling that my favorite team is not good enough to make the playoffs makes me suck as a fan in your eyes, so be it.
