Who's this Jason M Williams goofas (Doofas and Goof, it works) thats writes for RealGM. In a "article" he wrote about the "dream'' Western Conf playoff matchups he elected to remove the Rockets from the picture and insert the Nugs as the 7th seed to play the Fakers. here is a link http://realgm.com/src_twoplusthefoul/180/20080304/dream_playoff_match_ups_out_west/ and here is an excerpt The team that would be ideal to drop from the playoff seedings would be the boring and uninspired Houston Rockets . Yes, it is hard to leave off a team that is currently sitting pretty with a fifteen-game winning streak, but they just lost Yao Ming for the season and will now be relying on Luis Scola, Chuck Hayes, Carl Landry, and Dikembe “The Zombie” Mutombo to patrol the paint. That, and if you look at the point guards of the top nine teams, who would you be least likely to trust during a playoff push: Tony Parker, Derek Fisher, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, RAFER ALSTON, Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Baron Davis, or Allen Iverson? I gave you a hint by using capitals but seriously…Rafer Alston? Come on. Son of a.... RealGM doesnt carry much weight around here I know, and with "writers" like this, they earn that reputation.
probably a guy who's never watched a single rockets game during the streak... not a surprise this was from realgm since nothing credible is ever posted on that crap they call a website.
Kobe>McGrady>Manu/Korver/Bell/JHoward/SJax/Uh...J.R Smith?/Hmm...MoPete? Yeah, discount the Rockets based on thier PG... . Nice try. But I do have to admit, the Lakers are really scary...
Nah, man. This is great! It's the 95 Rockets all over again: let everyone think we're not a threat, and then stomp 'em come playoff time. They're playing right into our hands. MWA-HA-HA-HA!
it boggles the mind... how can someone not think the rockets are a threat after 17 straight wins with most in double digits. is it raining 17 wins in the league? did biologist find a way to grow 17 wins on trees? the government must be handing out subsidized 17 wins.
You guys cant possibly expect everybody to pat the Rockets on the back? I really could care less if somebody said the Rockets suck, those words really arent significant if the Rockets play great (like they have lately). I still love charles and jim Rome, after countless times theyve bashed the Rockets just because they arent afraid to express their opinion
