Chris Sheridan has always been high on the Rockets. One of few to pick us beat the Blazers 2 years back and the only 'expert' that picked us to beat the Lakers.
Dallas is a lot older than most are thinking they will have injuries this year, and will decline.....Spurs too. It is OUR time baby ! DD
Agreed. If we can stay healthy that is *knock on wood* we will for sure get 1rst in the division. Red Rising Baby!!
*** dallas, we got it this year. Were gonna make 5th seed, play the blazers first round, beat them, then play the fakers, surprise everyone and beat them, then take on dallas and beat them also. Then in the Finals, were gonna beat the Celtics in 7. bet on it. Someone save this post cuz wut i said is exactly what's gonna happen, so start plannin for the parade downtown ppl HTOWN comin home wit the CHAMPIONSHIP 2011!!! and if you got something negative to say then do like rudy t and DONT EVER UNDERESTIMATE THE HEART OF A CHAMPION!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
The Spurs looked old last season. They won't win the division. The Mavs have a lot of depth and I think they will win the division. The Rockets will come together at playoff time. Still the division could go either way for the regular season. It's getting old saying this, but it depends on Yao.
Dallas can win the division but will be another 1st round exit....Rockets will be neck and neck to be top of the division....WE ARE DEEP no other team rolls 10 deep i'm predicting 55-60 wins WITH a healthy Yao in the playoffs
Also I might add Of Course David Thorpe will pick the rockets, he has been training kmart he knows he will have a great season.
Haha, indeed it will be a 1st round exit. Even though I said Dallas will win the division I never said they were going to win the championship. Dallas is the best regular season team in the division, thats for sure. Sorry to break it to u but we aren't winning 55 wins.
Not so fast. We can make some serious noise in the playoffs but we haven't quite arrived yet. Dallas is still the best regular season team in the division.
There is really no way to show the experts up.. If we go on to win the Southwest conference, then the experts will say that they knew the Rockets were the darkhorse, and it's not surprising. If we lose the southwest conference, and come in 2nd or 3rd, then they will say some BS about all of our faults and bash us. So I say to hell with the so called "experts". Let's show the world what we can do. Go Rockets!!
what is your win total? and what seed do you have us in... here is my prediction of how it will end up 1. Lakers 2. Mavs 3. Rockets 4. Thunder 5. Jazz 6. Blazers 7. Spurs 8. Nuggets/Clippers/Suns first round: (1)lakers > (8)nuggets (7)spurs > (2)mavs (3)rockets > (6)blazers (4)thunder > (5)jazz semi-finals: (1)lakers > (4)thunder (3)rockets > (7)spurs wcf: (3)rockets > (1)lakers
I think we are a VERY strong team, but however we just aren't in the ELITE just yet. I don't even we'll get homecourt advantage in the playoffs. Teams that will beat us for sure: LA Lakers OKC Thunder Dallas teams we have a chance of beating but I don't think we'll risk Yao Ming to do it: Blazers Jazz so here are my standings for the WC: 1: Lakers 2: Mavs 3: Thunder 4: Blazers 5: Jazz 6: Spurs 7: Rockets 8: Hornets
1st round: Lakers vs Hornets >> LAKERS Mavs vs Rockets >> TOUGH ONE. I'll go with Rockets if Yao Ming is in MVP form. But otherwise Mavs Thunder vs Spurs >> Thunder Blazers vs Jazz >> Blazers 2nd Round; Lakers vs Blazers >> Blazers Mavs vs Thunder >> Thunder WCF: Lakers vs Thunder >> Lakers
Eh, they can pick whoever they want, it all comes down to what happens on the court. The way I see it is the more they put us down the more exciting it will be when we prove them wrong. On an unrelated note, W22_Streak, are you even a rockets fan? Have some faith in your team. You may be right about the Mavs being the best regular season team, and maybe I am just reading your posts with a slant that was not intended, but you seem to have the same attitude as all the "experts" who are constantly putting us down.
