How pleased are you so far half-way through this season?

Yeah, I agree.

 

Rockets were ranked 28th out of 30 on either Sports Illustrated or NBA.com (can't remember which) before the season started.

 

Remember before the season started, in light of being the youngest and inexperienced team in the league, people were predicting in the high teens to a generous low thirty win total. So barring a collapse, this team may make a run for the playoffs.

I'm super pleased on how the team has progressed thus far, especially on what the future has in store with Harden and another franchise cornerstone

 

Even after the Harden trade, people were predicting a lotto team. So yeah, screw them.

 

The people who were predicting that were stupid, even before the Harden trade.

That said, the team has slightly exceeded my expectations. With the 2nd toughest schedule in the league, and the youngest team in the NBA, they have managed an above average record and have a strong shot at making the playoffs.

I expected them to be around .500 or a little above with Harden, at the end of the season, but I thought that it would take until sometime in March before we got there. To do it now when our schedule's been as tough as it is, is impressive.

Bright future for this Rockets team.

 

i'm glad we run 'n gun. that's been a refreshing change from the jvg era (even though i LOVE jvg).

 

Any objective person couldn't imagine us doing much better. Credit to the team and the coaches for outperforming expectations.

 

credit first to go to NEW CBA,

 

Considering there is still a gaome to play before the ASB and they have already surpassed my projected win total for the season of 27 (Pre Harden trade) - Im happy with the progress and think the future looks really bright for the team.


Now if they could only iron out the TV mess and get the games broadcast on all the service providers .... I'd be about as happy as a punk in a peter patch.

 

The network fiasco has greatly distracted from the situation, but the team itself has been a pleasant surprise. The Harden trade was the biggie, but Asik has been better than expected and Lin has shown flashes of brilliance. I have been on Morey's case for years, but I will give him credit, the team finally appears headed in the right direction. Took a ridiculously long time though.

 

I hate this team, but I love them a lot more.

My expectations have been exceeded by a little bit.

Remember everyone, we are still the youngest team in the league with cap space! To pair that with "solid playoff team"? That's honestly pretty amazing, I think these guys have quite a future!

 

Very happy, enjoying watching them with very little expectations - just enjoying their growth.

DD

 

Extremely displeased that I can not watch the games.

 

Very happy about the Rockets.

Fun, young team to watch. They have the guy to build around for the foreseeable future.

 

Yes very pleased. I really like for the rockets to beat Vegas odds, anyone remember what was the odds at the start of season? At this rate this team deserves to be in the playoffs

 

I thought this team would be terrible this year, so I am EXTREMELY happy to see how they have done. Morey had a plan and he didn't blow the team up like I thought we would have to do. I've gone from thinking this team was going to be dead in the water for years to actually being excited for games and having hope for the future. It's an amazing turn around.

 

4 games over .500, youngest and least experienced team in the NBA with the core players locked in for multiple years? AND cap space to sign another Star in the off season?

What's NOT to like? :grin:

Nothing but a bright future ahead...

 

We started 32-25 last year. I'll celebrate the playoffs when we clinch.

Still pleased with how they've developed, though I'd like to see some aggressive moves, either in the upcoming weeks or this summer.

 

I rub it out wathing them
