At this points, would the Rockets be able to beat Philly if we made the Finals?

If Adam Silver and his crooked refs don't **** us, then yeah we would.

 

I would've said Rockets hands down but then I realized they now have a new threat who goes by the name of..

James Ennis

The Third

Capaela would get fouled out tryna guard embiid!

But would Butler defer to embiid when game on the line!?

 

Well rox have the best player in the matchup. There is always a chance.

 

I am very concerned with the depth of our team. 28 games left and the past injury problems plus overall age of roster. Running 2 man short on roster. Now hands tied on spending it seems like way to many factors to over come for a successful season.

 

So the process.... worked? :O

 

If the Warriors' team plane crashes and we somehow find ourselves in the Finals (I doubt we beat OKC even), then I don't think we'd beat the 76ers. We are like 25th in defense, people keep forgetting that. That would have to drastically improve and I don't see that happening all of the sudden.

 

If it took the Rockets longer than 5 games to drum the Sixers I’d be disappointed.

They have no shot at beating Toronto or Milwaukee though.

 

@justtxyank and myself were just discussing this. would you like to get in on the tip jar bet. I believe a turnaround will happen, discussion starts at the end of page 5

I mean.... IF we got to the Finals then we would have beaten the Warriors, so yes.... if we did that then we could beat Philly.

It's too bad we don't have homecourt over everyone like last year, but ultimately I just want to be healthy, in top 4, and get another shot at GSW. I hate getting bounced by them the last 3 out of 4 years, but it is what it is heh.

 

YES!!!

 

Depth is the best it has been since the beginning of the season. Think about it, we got of the unplayables and added Rivers, Faried and now Shumpert. If you consider Nene playable against certain matchups (e.g. Adams), then the Rockets can legitimately play 9 guys. That's deep.

What we lack is size, which we will be an issue against some of the top east teams.

I am on record by stating we are much better than last year's team, which proved to be very thin in the depth department with injuries to Luv and Ryan Anderson's regression.

The remaining 28 games will be used to get everybody adjusted and if everybody is healthy, we will only be behind the Worriers as the favorite to come out of the West.

 

Depends. What are the luxury tax implications of winning a championship?

 

neither teams would be in final.

 

Not trying to be a debbie downer but I hope we can make the playoffs first. Lets stay focused on the season for now.
