Contenders don't lose to 4-23 Teams!!

I agree with you there, but I feel that without Homecourt they aren't going anywhere anyway.

how about another 95-96 miracle? another 22-win streak IN THE PLAYOFFS!

 

There is only 16 games to win to win the championship.

4 (First Round)
4 (Second Round)
4 (Semi-Finals)
4 (Finals)



One thing to be reminded is... McGrady missing on 1 back to back will not help the inconsistency any more.

This team better step up right now. We don't have the experience like the Spurs to just switch gears after the All-Star break.

 

The Spurs had to do it a first time.

 

They didn't start doing that until they had multiple championships with their core players.

You know, when they knew how to win...this Rockets team has no such margin for error.

Of course.

But with their mindset right now... they'll never know how to win. That is why they have to step up now. And it starts from Yao and Tracy.

 

Agreed, but I don't believe TMac has it in him.....maybe Yao does.

a big maybe though.

 

another 6-win streak in the exhibition games after we win it all.

 

A couple of big if's there, especially the second one.

 

i'm just going to be so frustrated if we have to play on the road starting the 2nd round on, because we didn't show up to beat the Wizards at home, or because we were up 10 in san antonio with 5 min left and choked it away.

 

That's why contenders don't play those teams in the playoffs.

 

and the rox went on the road vs the warriors and took care of business........doesnt matter where it is......sometimes you just have a night where you play down to your competition and lose.

 

Rockets did lose many bad teams this year. Now Rockets look like the jazz team.
