    I feel strongly that we match up well against all of the teams remaining on our schedule.

    I'm not saying that we're gonna win every game. But we're not going to have many losses, and we won't be blown out for the rest of the year.

    I can say that about SAS, but not so confident about DAL.

    yeah, if lakers lose that'll be nice. But we lost a great opportunity to gain some ground.

    We just SUCK against teams that are .500 or above. :eek: :(

    It's over peeps, we can't lose to teams like the Sixers when the rest of the schedule is the toughest in the NBA, the final standing are going to stay the same except the Kings will be the 7th seed and the Lakers or Hornets will be the 8th seed. Now lets go play with that lotter generator... :(

    The good news is both Utah and Lakers lost, NOK seemed to be get blown out by Clippers too, only Kings and Minny won. The bad news? Rockets have a long way to win the lottery! :D

    Rockets are 4 games behind Lakers while also chasing Queens.

    Rocks have 1 game against Fakers and 1 game against Queens to go.

    Fakers and Queens still have 2 games against each other to come.

    8th seed is still very attainable but Rockets simply have to just win.

    I still have hope in making the playoffs as many of you have noted the resonable chances of still making the playoffs after a very disapointing season...

    BUT...

    Im kinda undecided if we should even go for the playoffs. Half of me wants them to go for it and the other half of me wants them to forget about this year and focus on the future.

    If we make the playoffs, great but whats the point in reaching the playoffs when you could easily lose in any round. Clearly the Mavs, Suns, and Spurs are all better talented teams...kill me for saying that. But again, whats the point in reaching the playoffs, killing a higher draft pick, just to lose in the playoffs. The ultimate goal is to win the championship, but if we cant get there...

    Then my hope kicks in and I think that this team can put up a good fight against those teams. Of course we would need our team to play the way they are capable of...which we have seen very few times this year. If they get on a roll, then I can seriously see us giving the top teams trouble. Any time you have Yao and Tmac, we have a chance, especailly in the playoffs. Im sure any of the tops teams would be MOST worried about facing Houston, rather than any other bottom seeds.

    anyways, just rambling

    No kidding, I love Wesley heart and grit the whole time he's been here but last nite he displayed some of the most boneheaded logic I've seen in a while.
