I think the rockets have officially earned their respect. They could have dropped them 5 or 6 slots in the power rankings but they respected us after losing against the top 2 teams in the NBA. I can even argue that we were in those last two games till the end, surprisingly enough against the suns where we were minus our two stars. Top 4 in the NBA baby! The next three games can actually get us in the top 3 again. It feels good to be respected. www.espn.com (i couldnt copy and paste the link and got lazy to write it, its on the NBA section)
I would love to play Dallas or SA in a Conference finals. I think we can beat either team in a 7 game series with T-mac, Yao, and Bonzi; My god, dont forget Head, the entire City of Houston loves Head
That's a different power ranking... that's a Hollinger power ranking that he just started. The original power rankings will continue to be updated on Mondays.
These are Hollinger's statisically-based power rankings, Stein does a separate one based on... um... the basketball experience of a hobbit.
If we face SA in the playoffs, they'll will get an example next week of what will happen to them. A beating worse than from their daddy! ( hopefully )
