If the Suns lose their last three games against San Antonio, Portland, and Seattle, and the Rockets Win their last three against Seattle, Memphis, and Denver Then we're in the Playoffs. Lets Pray!!! The Shedule is in our favor.
I'm convinced we'll make it. We'll bow out to the Spurs in 4 or 5 (maybe 6), but it will be VALUABLE playoff experience.
Dont fool yourself. If you put your fate to other's hand, bad things happen most of times. Especially you need to do it three times.
Given Rockets' track record, I am hardly convinced they have any fighting will left. It seems below 500 teams get out of funk by trashing them.
It's so cute that you guys think we'll win the last 3, and it's even cuter that you think Stephon Marbury will lose 3 in a row. He's the true All Star after all.
Indeed. Factor in the way the Rockets have been playing and the fact that the Suns have outscored their opponents in the last 6 games by an average of over 17 points per game and the Rockets are still in it theory only.
I mean the franchise player of the Suns, who has only allowed his team to lose once in the past 6 games, with that loss coming in overtime by 2 points against the Lakers. Marbury is the #1 PG in the league, and has been for most of this season. Selfish? Please. He plays off-guard when Penny plays, and he still averages 8 assists. Francis doesn't average 8 being a full time PG.
My best guess... We'll struggle past the Sonics to remain mathematically alive. Lose to Memphis mathematically eliminating us. The bench will get emptied against Denver and we'll all be posting that Maddox should be the backup PG, asking why Boki only played 77 total minutes during the season, and where did Hawkins get that shooting touch.
Marbury isn't playing any off guard. You must have listened a little bit too much to Charles Barkley. Joe Johnson and Penny Hardaway bring the ball up the floor sometimes but the first thing they normally do it getting it back to Stephon right away. He handles the ball like 90% of the time. Penny Hardaway is getting assists because he is one of the best passers in the league and probably the best at feeding the post, not because he plays PG.
Anything that is better than the last two games is ok with me. The way the Suns have been playing it is rather doubtful that the Rockets will make it. Of course I am not against a Miracle happening! The Rockets should try and get Yao Ming to have big games and pick the Rockets moral up, ending the season with a 3 game win!
Like I said, the wildcard is Seattle...we have to beat them an they have to beat the Suns. We can beat Denver and Memphis, Suns will lose to Spurs and Portland.
If we could have won ONE of the last two pathetic games, at least we'd still have a shot. Better yet, how about ONE of the 4 games we lot to last place teams The good news is we have a lottery pick....I'm sorry, what? Oh. Nevermind.
i remember in alot of prediction threads u guys had the suns losing thier last 3 with the rocks winning theirs
Yeah, the only problem is our team quit a long time ago. waaaaaay too early actually. maybe someone should have explained to them 2 games ago that we still had a great chance to make it. oh well, blame larry i guess.
We Seattle, Memphis and Denver. We should win all 3 of those gamems. San Antonio should beat the Suns, the Blazers should beat the Suns, and hopefully Seattle will beat the Suns.
I'm still keeping the hope alive, because stranger things have happened. If we get in, it's mostly a fluke and we really don't deserve it... But hey, I'll take what I can get. Four (maybe five) extra Rockets games to watch is fine by me.
The Suns will probably beat Portland, ending the Rockets' chances. However, if it comes down to the final day of the season, I wouldn't be surprised if the Sonics beat the Suns.
