    You can find a terrible loss for every win the Rockets have? That's quite impressive, considering the team is more than 20 games over .500.

    That was a really good article. I particularly liked the list of tie breakers and how those could work out. I never knew that scoring margin was on the list of tie breakers, probably because it doesn't ever come up.

    The game vs NOH is an automatic win. Actually NOH is the best playoff opponent for Rockets. We can take them in 5, even 4.

    Why? His article talked about tie-breaks more than anything else. And that's not Hollinger's fault, that's the league for using the tie-break system. The article is good, you probably just didn't understand it enough to appreciate it :p

    Wow, so the Hornets sweeping the Spurs would actually be bad for us, or at least really uncomfortable. Best case scenario is that they split, I think...? :confused:

    I actually use stats daily in my field of work so that's why I'm pointing out that the teams are so close that there isn't much point to this article. Random is the only thing I can conclude for the finish and the remaining games.

    According to the article, the Spurs' odds of winning the division stands at 46.1% while the Rockets' is 35.1%. I wonder what the odds were before last game.

    And I love that little old lady quote. :)
