You still can't wipe last year out of your mind, can you? We only have 1.5 players left from last year. Totally different team and system now. We are likely gonna end at 7th, unless Trob and Garcia can fit in immediately.
These two are must win games. Both to keep us in the playoffs and to show at least we are equally good.
i have doubts about houston making playoffs now after this trade. Patterson was coming alive on offense and playing good defense before he has traded. He was even rebounding alot better. I think Morey screwed playoff chances this year
and we played 4 more games than Dallas and won those 4 Mavs win tonight and that's a virtual tie. it would put Mavs at 26-29 and the Lakers at 27-30 with Lakers having the slight statistical edge bottom line for this Rockets fan- I'll take 31 wins to Dallas' 26 and us playing them two more times, over the Lakers finding themselves at .500 by tomorrow evening and us facing them on the last night of the season with the playoffs on the line...
Just look at the losses. Rockets played more games, that's really all we can say. In fact Breen just said the exact thing I'm saying, two games behind. Both teams have two more losses than our own. What good is a statistical edge when you are dropping in the L column? Lakers lose today and now they have to catch the Mavs because they'll be needing the Mavs to lose now. Mavs move ahead of the Lakers with a win tonight...those teams next two games? Mavs at home against the Bucks after a days rest and Lakers going to Denver tomorrow. So Mavs win tonight they very well could get two games ahead of the Lakers and at the same time keep pace with the Rockets. The last game of the season is so far away why even worry about it now? Both teams could either be out of the playoffs or in the playoffs it may not even matter.
Chill.... You didn't honestly think that we were just going to flawlessly transition with a new rotation did you? Give it more than 1-2 games. Hell...we just beat the freaking Thunder and the Nets... Give it some more time.
Either the lakers and rockets make it or just the lakers will mAke it. The nba will make sure lakers get in the refs will get them to the free throw line as many times as they can.
I was gonna say Rockets but they let me down against the Wizards so NOW I really think Lakers make the playoffs and not too sure about Houston anymore they might have an easier schedule but there so inconsistent im starting think they gonna lose a couple more games that they shouldnt(wizards,sac) that its gonna end up coming down to the last game @LA and then everyone knows if it comes down to that the Rockets are gonna have pay against the Lakers and refs in that game and Lakers will end up advancing and Rockets will end up in the 9th spot ...BUT MAN I HOPE IM WRONG !
we lost to wizards. WIZARDS. the Kings of east. and we did lose to Kings too. not a good sign. we lost 5 rotation players, if smith misses more time. Morey should've done a camby trade and got a reliable vet. not good guys. every year its like this. well end up 9 again. defense better step up or were done.
But we're young!!!(as if that's comforting, ha!) No matter how one might try to spin it, I'm sorry but the 9th seed, 14th pick sucks. Young, old, in-between, doesn't matter, IT SUCKS!
lakers has the side of the commish.they pay a lot of luxury tax. while the rockets are ignored by espn and no matter how much flop teams do against rockets, you never hear even a warning from the main office. maybe houston should've joined the illuminati too.
exactly. and the teams were fighting for a spot against are filled with vets. sucks. this is why McHale is so mad about not having enough vets.
Teams the Wizards beat this month. Clippers Knicks Nets Bucks Nuggets Rockets The Wizards have been playing well as of late.
Seriously fellas? If you're so worried and have this little faith on our team then what's the point of making to playoffs this year? I totally get why some of you still have nightmares from last year's meltdown but come on, that was a different roster we had last season. We will make the playoffs because that's how good this team is and the schedule favors us as well. Whatever happens this season, i will charge to development and experience since we are just on our 1st season of rebuilding and we have youngest and most inexperienced team in the NBA. Oh and by the way, i actually had the Lakers winning this game and got $200 from it. :grin:
