Rockets are in, it's out of Lakers/ Warriors/ Jazz to make up the final 2 spots.

Look at the projected wins....

I think both are in. Golden State is going to drop out completely.

Nah, now that Bogut is injured, they go back to their pre-Bogut winstreaks

I was too - until the Wash loss (I know, I know... it's just one game...lol) and LA's recent improved play.

Probably so used to being let down in recent years, it's hard to shake that from the back of my mind.

I think you're end of year projections are just about right. You had 47 wins for Hou (I had 46), 46 wins for Utah (I had 45) and 46 wins for LA (I had 46).

I think Hollinger still has us at 48 wins. Just not sure I can see us going 17-7 the rest of the way. Since the losing streak, we've played WELL and have went just 10-6 - and now will have 2-3 different guys playing in the rotation most likely.

It amazes me that some "don't care" if we make the playoffs just 'cause "we're gonna' get killed in the first round". Just getting the experience of the intensity of the playoffs is huge. Then, with the way we play, there's always the chance of a GS/Dallas type of series with anyone. That series was amazing to watch. (anything can happen - the image of Dikembe laying on the court grasping the ball and so happy is still clear in my mind from that Denver upset). Unlikely, sure. But, still would be awesome and just fun to watch the youngest team in the league compete.

Exactly. Many people outside of CF have already said that the Rockets are a team other contenders don't want to face in the playoffs.

We just might "upset" some elite teams. Would be fun to watch anyway.

Thankyou! It is like nobody understands the old saying, never look back!

I like your spirit, but L's are more significant than W's at this point. Looking ahead only means praying for Utah and GSW to lose, which we have no control over (except when we play them). Looking behind means not getting more L's to help the Lakers, which we do control 100%.
