So now as we are in a 3-way tie for ninth seed in the western conference and we should not even consider the playoffs, I guess we can call of the season an let the top 8 western team start the playoffs already. We are currently 4 games behind Wolves for 8th spot, and also 4 games behind Suns for 7th. This has not taken into account Denvers game today - so if they win they will be 1/2 a game in front of us. (fat chance) ------------------ We can reach our destination, but it's still a ways away.
ESPN sucks. They constantly disrespect the Rockets in their Power Rankings - Hakeem in particular. Best way to get them to shut up is by making the playoffs. ------------------ word to your mother
http://espn.go.com/nba/powerrankings/index.html Still No. 20. Dammit, this is starting to bug me. ------------------ The Rockets will be the NBA champions. Believe.
its unbelievable how they go out of their way to disrespect the rockets. i mean its so biased its incredible. just look what they said today in the power rankings. http://espn.go.com/nba/powerrankings/index.html i guess i keep going back there because of their coverage and im stupid enough to think theyll change one of these days ------------------ make it stop.
I find it incredible that they would put 2 teams 5 games under .500 that play in the EAST over the Rockets. The only reason they put the pacers ahead of the rockets, is because they beat LA this weekend. That is the only reason. The rocks are better than 6 teams in front of them, and you could make a case they are better than the magic, despite getting beat by them last friday. ------------------
It makes me puke! Saddest part is that if we were in the East, we would be tied for 7th, and one game out of 5th. ------------------ In the end there will be no judges...only witnesses to my greatness.
And if the Rockets were in the east, they would be playing many more games against eastern conference teams, which would translate into a much better record. ------------------ "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning how to put food on their family while being put to death."
Someone need to write in a good user comment. I think they haven't tried hard enough to move the Rockets down. Come on - they only win against the East. A lot of eastern teams does a hell of a better job against the good west than the Rockets at 11-22. Look at Hawks 6-9, and Nets 7-13 - they should not rank Rockets over these teams - they are good -come on they got All Stars in Mutombo and Marbury that sees to that they do way better than Rockets.no way Rockets deserve any higher than 22. Damn ESPN - you must all be on drugs. ------------------ We can reach our destination, but it's still a ways away.
I agree Heath, but ESPN doesn't print too many user comments from Houston... I have written several that I felt were clever and logical, but I never see it printed, so I have stopped trying. ------------------ "Happiness is a journey, not a destination. Work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like no one's watching."
Perhaps we must try a different angle... try writing in as a pissed Atlanta fan asking why they keep dissing the Hawks. And then say they deserve to be ranked a head of the lousy Rockets that cant even win in their own conference. That might work. ------------------ We can reach our destination, but it's still a ways away.
Those rankings are crazy. Pacers, Celts better than Rockets......get real -ESPN is full of Pippen ------------------ "Stop your grinnin' and drop your linen" -Hudson
Here is an interesting link. NBATalk has their Ultimate Power Rankings (http://www.sportstalk.com/nba/power/ultimatepower/ ) that list the rankings from the major websites. CBS has the Rox at 14 and ESPN has them the lowest at 20. CK ------------------ Quote of the year: "Look it's George Jefferson" Charles Barkley commenting on Nuggets coach John Lucas.

I love when the Rockets are disrespected like this ...... because whenever they are they'll do something to break the media's teeth. I think if (that's a big IF) the Rockets get to the postseason, they can go very deep (i.e. conference finals). ------------------
Our game tonight against Minnesota may decide it all. I say this is possibly the most important game of the entire year. ------------------ "The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation's history. I mean in this century's history.
