wtf? I'm one of the few that has had the spurs as a top team year after year but they won't be this good in a decade. You seriously think TD will be here that long? Pop is retiring along with TD, he has stated that multiple times.
They have held their last eight opponents to an average of 93.5 PPG. Isn't that just shy of IND and SAS?
I love your positive outlook for our team but you are way overrating our rockets It's all about match ups in playoffs and we don't have the personnel to match a lot of these teams' intensity in the playoffs. Only teams worthy of contender status are spurs and OKC.
I can't believe how many of you guys are sleeping on the mavs. If anyone should know not to take these guys lightly it's rockets' fans. The only player more valuable than dirk in a playoff run in the west is Durant. I wouldn't take anyone else over dirk these playoffs. If they manage to pull off a trade during the season that improves them then watch out! Monta is looking like the steal of free agency this summer.
Last 8 teams scoring ave: Memphis - 93.2 Atlanta - 99.6 Brooklyn - 94.4 S.A. 101.8 Utah - 92.1 Phoenix - 101.2 G.S - 103 Orlando - 97.7 Ave - 97.9 So on the whole, we kept these teams 4.4pts under their average. Not bad. But I think our defensive ceiling is higher.
The Rockets better hope they don't meet the Mavs in the playoffs. Those previous playoff matchups were nightmarish enough as it is.
