    Lakers Wendesday, Wolves Friday, Mavs sunday....

    I think its safe to say our season can be summed up by what we do here. I would really impressed if we could pull out 2 out of the 3, Lakers and Mavs are our best bet....If we lose all 3 is all hope lost? I know its expected for us to lose, but I hope or morale doesnt sink to far that we tank the season. there are a lot of posters out there that think seasons over, and I wanna prove them wrong but winning 2 of the next 3. Any thoughts?

    Realistically 1:2.

    I am hoping for the best of 2:1, and also know that we can easily go 0:3.

    Not really. We still have plenty of home games left after the Mavs. Even if we go 0-3, we could easily go 5-0 in the next 5 to keep the pace. :cool:

    0-3 for the next 3 games....the Rockets nosedive the rest of the way and miss the playoffs. Remember what happened last year after a crushing loss to the Lakers? Well, history repeats itself this year.

    Realistically, I'd say 0-3. The Lakers and Wolves are playing their best ball of the season right now and the Mavs own the Rockets. The Lakers' stars know that they're 0-2 against the Rockets on national TV this season and I expect a statement from them on Wednesday especially after their last match up in which Yao upstaged Shaq. Still, of the three, I think the Rockets' best chance to steal a win will be against the Mavs.

    People who think Mavs are Rockets' best chance need to wake up! Rockets just don't have any answer for perimeter-oriented teams. Check our record against Kings, Mavs, Sonics, Memphis! 0-9!

    Lakers are the best best. T-wolves next.

    Most likely 0-3, however we may steal a win over Lakers or Twolves.

    Memphis will pull away a bit after next three games, but they have a tougher schedule in April. So we still get a chance to pass them.

    just like we lost to worse teams accasionally, we might steal one or couple against better ones. The reasonable guess is 1 win 2 losses. if we can do that, i am very happy <a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_1_2.gif' border=0></a>

    According to the rosters, we have a better chance of beating LA than the Mavs. We just can't play against run-and-gun teams.

    I say we go 1-2, we have to beat at least one of them. I wouldn't be suprised if we lose all 3 either

    1-2 is what I am thinking. I would love a 2-1 though, that would be sweet. If we could be Minn then I would so want to face them in the first round....

    Here's to a couple more Nuggz loses.

    These posts are always the funniest. I don't see why people fail to see that the Mavericks OWN the rockets. Regular season, playoffs, it don't matter.

    Shawn Bradley always neutralizes Yao = GG owned.
