    Seven best are based on current record.

    On the upside, Hollinger's Power Rankings have us a 4th best team in the league.

    Most of those teams are full of veterans in the prime of their careers, or will the Rockets will be in 2-3 seasons.

    I honestly don't know why we're so bad. Do we get scured? Even non playoff teams and overrated east teams have better records than us against them.

    Just curious - - what is the record v seven best records at time played?

    I assume this means the Brooklyn Nyets are outside the Top 7 as are their intracity rival Knixies?

    DB2 (the Day before the Beard) I would have believed 28 Ws as a lofty goal. The day after, 33. And now this, I mean - - THIS! With hope for a grander '13-'14!

    Rockets are 2-11 against the top 5 teams in the West, 6-3 against the top 5 teams in the East.

    These teams have at least a season or two developing chemistry. We just started this year and managed to keep a majority of the games close.

    There are only 7 top 7 teams out of 30 in the NBA. The Röckëts are awesome against the other 23 teams.

    We are also on a one game winning streak vs. the top 4 teams in the West. Lets not worry about what we have done in the past, Rockets can take care of business by winning games and I think they will do just that. Let the refs favor the Lakers like we saw last night (Our officiating + that Batum 3 that was called a 2), and let our team worry about winning v. 8.
