    Totally agree McHale deserves the COY If this young team can get into the playoff and do respectably meaning at least 1-2 wins not getting swept.

    Mavericks and the Lakers will make the playoffs. The fight for the eight seed is between Rockets, Warriors and Jazz.

    Okay so we got the much-needed Rockets win tonight, Lakers lost and it looks like Utah will lose to OKC. We need Detroit to beat GSW later tonight and this will be a wonderful night for us. Can we get an update to the standings in this thread?

    Rockets are currently 35-30; 17 games left
    Mar 15 vs MIN - W
    Mar 17 vs GSW- W
    Mar 20 vs UTA - W
    Mar 22 vs CLE - W
    Mar 24 vs SAS - L
    Mar 27 vs IND - L
    Mar 29 @ MEM - L
    Mar 30 vs LAC - L
    Apr 1 vs ORL - W
    Apr 3 @ SAC - W
    Apr 5 @ POR - L
    Apr 6 @ DEN - L
    Apr 9 vs PHO - W
    Apr 12 vs MEM - L
    Apr 14 vs SAC - W
    Apr 15 @ PHO -W
    Apr 17 @ LAL - L

    I predict they'll go 9-8 in the last 17 games and finish 44-38, good enough for the 8th seed.

    Only guaranteed loss in that group is the Apr 6th game at the Nugs...I feel like we have a shot to win every other one of those games...

    Would be nice to see the Lakers not make it. For as long as the Rockets have been in Houston, only four Western Conference teams (and the Celtics and 76ers in the Finals) have eliminated them: Jazz, Mavs, Sonics/Thunder, and Lakers. Would be nice to see as few of these four teams as possible in the playoffs.

    Anything can happen. Maybe we can win over Indiana or Spurs. ;)

    We're due one against the Spurs. Plus, Parker is still out right?

    We also beat the Jazz and the Spurs at different times - however that doesn't change the fact that the Lakers are one of only 4 teams to have eliminated us

    5, if you only counts the days of Houston Rockets (not San Diego Rockets). And of course, Supersonic doesn't exist anymore.

    Our record on the road is really bad this year. I feel we may lose to the wolves at minny. Lets worry about one game at a time.

    It would be fun to see the Lakers miss the playoffs if only for the ****storm that should entertain us for the entire off season and then some.
