    the next 2 weeks are critical....

    2/11 Utah
    2/12 @ Utah
    2/18 @ LA
    2/19 @ Pho
    2/21 Dallas

    looks like the Rockets are going to get a taste of playoff basketball.
    the pressure is on to stay in the top 8.:eek:

    let's hope the rockets win 3 out of the next 5 games. they must beat the suns cuz that's the easiest game out of the 5.

    I disagree it's probably the hardest game of the five. They play the Lakers and then the Suns the next night. Expect Yao not to play well against the Suns.

    Rez,

    That is what happens when you lose to the Caveliers, Grizzlies, Clippers x2, Golden States of the world.

    If the Rocks would have had respect and played those teams the right way, they would have a cushion right now.

    Growing pains hurt.

    True, very true. I dread playing every team, good or bad.

    We're not THAT young. I think the Rockets are going to surprise a lot of people though.

    We're a lot more talented than our record, and our players know each other now, and Rudy has a better sense of who has chemistry with who and stuff like that.

    Of course, that's the case with all teams, but no one has had a bigger roster change than we have had since last season.

    Yao Ming
    James Posey
    Mo Taylor
    Hawkins

    Those guys weren't playing last year.

    Steve Francis
    Glen Rice

    Those guys missed significant minutes

    Boki is new, but doesn't play so it doesn't really matter.

    I think having this half a season of growing pains is fine. But I expect to see some better basketball, and to have as many wins as we're on pace for winning, regardless of whether we're at home or away.

    Has any team ever had 2 all star starters and missed the playoffs?

    Will the Mavs give the Rox the win, to prevent Lakers from reaching playoffs?

    NJRocket...PROBABLY NOT. We just can't win on the road. But if we do make it...then Kobe and Shaq will be on the first team with 2 All Stars that didn't make the playoffs.
