Were still in it!

You sound like me. I was actually rooting for the Lakers tonight and was glad they won...this time. I still haven't given up hope and I guess I wont until they are mathematically eliminated.

Keep Hope Alive.

 

TroyBaros,

I just realized that you sit in the same section that I sit. I sit in 237 row G seats 1,2. I am usually there with my wife and kid(s). Holla at me

 

(sniff ... sniff ...) Man! Finally we have some believers here! I still believe!!!

(despite the slim chance of making it to the playoffs)

 

I think its possible, look at the satndings right now:

6th: Portland 26-23 (we are 9 1/2 gb)
Utah 27-24 (9 1/2 gb)
8th: Phoenix 25-25 (8 gb)
Seattle 25-25 (8 gb)
10th: Clippers 25-27 (7 gb)

Rockets 17-33

Looking ahead at the schedule, these are key games that we MUST win, if we want to keep the hopes alive:

2/26 Clippers
3/2 @ Phoenix
3/10 Utah
3/12 Seattle
3/18 @ Clippers
3/22 @ Seattle
3/26 @ Utah
3/30 Phoenix
4/2 Seattle
4/12 Portland
4/17 @ Portland

However, we still have to play:

1 at Milwaukee
1 at Dallas
1 at Minnesota
1 at Lakers
2 against San Antonio (1 at home)
2 against Sacramento (1 at home)

That´s 8 games. If we win at least 3 of thaose games, well...

Maybe I´m dreaming, but cant´t I?

I STILL BELIEVE

 

We can all hope for the best but be sure to prepare for the worst.

 

I will root for them for sure, but I don't share your optimism.

With Moochie running the point we are dead meat. Sorry...

 

Didn't Mo Taylor have like 38pts on ralley towel night last year against the Magic?

 

If Francis doesn't start playing every game then we will not be playing past April 17th.

Put me down in the I still believe category.

 

I think it's a little too late.

Unless..............

 

Put the pipe down, we in alright, more like in the NBA Lottery with 1 ball for the other 20 million. I'm the enternal opptalist (combining opptimist and realist), however this season is a bust and we should trade or plan insert some D and a big man.

 

Always a believer. It ain't over.

For us to have a chance to make it we need to have 2 things happen: 1)a long winning streak(7 or longer), 2)Finish at .500. (based on where the other teams at the 7th/8th spot are right now.

With those two we will be right there. But right now we are 16 games under! Cmon' Rockets. We still believe!!

 

I always thought being a Rockets fan meant being optimistic, unrealistic, having a seasons supply of asprin for the headaches watching them will give you, and a nice bottle of your favorite alcoholic beverage handy after the game.

With that being said, i think Rockets STILL have a shot at the playoffs(Optimism), they'll win 15-20 game in a row to get them back in the hunt (Unrealistic). And after each game when i realize my dreams won't become reality i'll be downing my aspirin with Sky Vodka

 

I'm the biggest optimist. I still have hope for home court advantage.

 

if i had a choice of finishing 9th and losing the rest of our games by 1 point.....

 

It's amazing to think of where they would be if they had a 16-4 stretch, which is what happened this time last year.

They would be 33-37.
