    Unless you find a way to travel to another quantum universe where RT never got sick, we will never know.

    That said, there is a pretty good chance they could've made the playoffs last season had the interruption not happened. This season is an entirely different matter as the club would be a vastly different place without the shadow of JVG.

    Your understanding of the English language is disturbing.

    This thread is too funny...I'm literally laughing out loud. :cool: :confused: :cool:

    The real question is -

    If Rudy in playoffs on championship make playoffs back in 5 years ahead and Jeff went Gundy in Hakeem playoff last year?

    :eek:

    My effort at translation:

    I would like to know if others think that we would have made the playoffs were Rudy still our coach. And, assuming he was, and we did, how far in the playoffs do you think we would have gone?

    And how far do you think we'll go as is?

    "Snootchie Boochies..... who talks like that.... that's baby talk."

    Anyways, to try and make some sense of this thread...

    I DO think we would have made the playoffs last year had Rudy not left the team. They had an initial "win won for the gipper" emotion going for them, but after that wore off... they were lost with Larry's philosophies.

    Thus, that makes "what would happen this year" a really tough question to ask.

    If we DO make the playoffs last year, and Rudy doesn't have cancer, is he still coaching this team?

    Most likely...

    If we didn't make the playoffs last year, I don't think there would be a chance in hell that Rudy would still get a shot at this team... he would have been let go, and they wouldn't have used his cancer as a tidy excuse (like they ended up doing).

    Thus, I've just confused myself... and everybody else.

    No because Rudy would not be able to take back control of the Team from Steve Francis. During the last couple of seasons Steve has assumed the leadership role and has been in control of the action on the Court.If Rudy was here it would be just like last season'The Franchise & Mobes Show',featuring 'Dribble Mania'.

    We were making the playoffs this year no matter who played or coached.

    To answer you question...

    yes, if Rudy Gundy went in Hakeem playoff, championship will result when franchise will moochie the cat.

    To be condescending to the thread starter Adds no value to this thread.

    But Anywho, yeah…to answer your question, I don’t believe Rudy could lead this team into the playoffs. The current Rocket team lacks dedication and professionalism, which is required unless one has an extremely talented team (see Portland TrailBlazers over the past decade). Playoff contending teams also have leaders who are for the most part mature and dedicated to the game not only on making themselves better but the team better. We all know who I’m talking about.

    Yes, you're right. I provided no insight or value to this thread other than giggling to the point of laughter after the initial post and then the followup comments of posters who actually tried to make sense of it all.

    i'm sure rockets #1 and droxford got some entertainment value out of it too.

    but to answer the question, no freaking way rudy makes the playoffs with rockets this year. rudy got canned because his offensive scheme was obsolete and couldn't preach discipline to a bunch of new school nba players - one with a max contract and not a whiff of the playoffs and theyre proving all their doubters right, particularly with steve's ridiculous comments in the press.

    Nope. Still not good enough. "Would have made," "we did," and "we would have" are past tenses, but the playoffs are months away. :p

    Here's my translation.

    I would like to know whether you think we will make the playoffs this season if Rudy is still our coach. If we do make it with Rudy, how far do you think we will go?

    Also, how far will we go this year with JVG?
