    It`s like he wrote the article ten days ago.

    And you guys are right, Legler says we are the team that is going to miss the playoffs and right next to it, Hollinger says tonight game is very important if we want home court advantage. Crazy!

    Did you all read the Hollinger article just to the right of it?

    Much better analysis.

    Edit: I see someone above me beat me to it...

    here's the quote

    So, basically the difference between us missing and making the playoffs is Aaron Brooks and Rafer Alston.

    :rolleyes:

    Did anybody else catch the poll at the bottom of the page that says we're the second most likely team to miss the playoffs next to the Suns?

    Flavor of the week stuff. Like last year when we lost YAO and then we rattled off a bunch of wins in a row. The proof is in the pudding. Are we winning the title this year? I do not believe do but I think we can make the playoffs and with the right situation win in the first and maybe even second round.

    This guy doesnt know crap about bball. Let him continue to make his lame predictions. We always get doubted this time of the year and prove ppl wrong. If Rockets can win tonight and Thursday (against cavs), then that should turn some heads. Wont be long till Legs is back on the bandwagon

    ESPN analysis only care about the Lakers, Cavs, and Celtics. I ignore everything they say. If they were to have watched us when we we're struggling they would have seen Alston/Grady hurt us more than they helped. Without them we won't only make the playoffs, but we will be a problem for any team we face. :mad:

    Everytime Legler is on our bandwagon we lose in the first round. I think this is a good omen. ;)

    Most analysts are somewhat correct as they tend to look from the outside. It is from the outside one can view things objectively.

    As a recovering ***, I can tell you that as long as Yao Ming wants to get paid max but play the goodie two shoes role player, the Rockets will never go anywhere.

    i don't agree with you. i think if coach uses yao efficiently and let him play on the court less time than now, yao must have enough power to carry the burden and lead the rockets to get success.

    Oh yea, us losing Rafer the reason we won't make the playoffs.

    Great analysis, Legs :rolleyes:

    There would be plenty of reasons for us to fall short but I'm almost 100% sure PG play would be the least of our worries, whether or not it was Brooks or Alston. I'm sick of morons like him.
