    And I mean it this time. Win or lose, the Rockets are not a playoff team. Playoff teams do not fall behind by double digits on back to back nights to two of the most horrible teams in the league. The Rockets are doing just that. I don't care if the Rockets come back to win by 15. This is a joke. Goodbye playoffs. Maybe next year.

    Flame away, I don't care.

    You're the joke. Get out. We are all so damn sick and tired of you. It's about the W's, not what happens during the game. And do you happen to notice our starting SG is badly hurt, Dream is out, the whole team is fatigued, etc.? Stuff like that DOES matter, and it happens to the best of teams. We will be in the playoffs, and we will win this game. The Lakers fell behind by double digits and lost twice to Golden State and Seattle in back to back games. Golden State is probably worse than Atlanta and right now the Clips are as good as Seattle. Are the Lakers not a playoff team?

    I will not get out. I still have interest in the Rockets for the summer and next season. I also want to see them develop this season. I just feel that the Rockets are not going to make the playoffs, that's all. I am not the only one who feels that way.

    You are the only one who feels that way for these point blank bull**** reasons that you say every game. Other people have well thought, legit reasons why the Rockets won't make the playoffs. Falling behind by 13 in a game without Hakeem on the second night of a back to back with Mobley hurt is NOT a legit reason at all to say teams aren't a playoff team. You're basing it on 2 quarters of 1 game man! No one has a problem with you for thinking forget the playoffs, cause you aren't alone in that thinking. The reason I and others have "flamed you" is because the reasons you give for us not having a chance at the playoffs are plain bs, pure and simple. No way around it.

    I wish you would leave too. This is getting old and tiresome. As I write this, the Rockets have tied the game. What does it matter how they get there, as long as they do. Are you saying that if we fell behind in every[i/] game, yet come back to win them all, we would be a terrible 82-0 team?

    Get lost, troll.

    As I write this, the Rockets are up 5. I like what they've done, but I still think the playoffs are a no go this year. Its nice to see them get their heart back, though. Look, if they make the playoffs, I will be thrilled. I just don't think its going to happen.

    I want you to stay ZRB...you keep the rest of us on our toes.

    It's just as annoying to be overly optimistic, I should know, I used to be that way.

    Hold on guys, I think we are on to something. As soon as ZRB loses it, the Rockets come back. Maybe Rudy has someone online during the game, waiting for the enivitable ZRB "It's over we suck" post, then has his players kick into gear.

    Keep it up ZRB.


    On second thought....leave troll.

    True, I forgot about that. Just stay out of the Rockets forum and go in the hangout! [​IMG]

    Well, it looks like the Rockets are going to win. Nice job by Houston. They showed a lot of heart, and will be a very good team next year.

    They showed a hell of a lot more heart than you have.

    ZRB, are you sure you're not Fran Blinebury from the chronicle...you sound almost identical in negativity about the Rockets. Quit judging every game like it will determine our chances at making the playoffs. Any team can beat any other team on any given night. The playoff teams are the ones that win more consistantly than others, no matter what the score or how much they were down at a point in that game. You've got to look at the big picture. The Rockets have now outscored the Clippers 32-11 in the 4th...now that sounds a lot like a playoff team me, no matter what happened the rest of the game. Give it a break...we were missing Dream and Mo is just recovering from a minor injury, not to mention Cuttino is still hurting a bit. We finally start winning a good percentage of our games and you start negative threads about games that we win.

    Maybe they will make the playoffs. I'm just trying to set my expectations low, so I can be really surprised if they DO pull it off. I think that the Rockets have a lot going against them in their quest for the playoffs, and I just don't expect them to make it anymore. If they do, I will be the happiest Rocket fan on the planet. If they don't, I won't be too disappointed because they would have met my expectations.

    I thought you'd changed, I tought you'd seen the light and understood. But you didn't [​IMG]

    Believe.

    The Rockets will be in the playoffs.

    BTW - Cuttino outscored the entire Clippers team in the 4th quarter.

    ------------------
    The Rockets will be the NBA champions. Believe.

    You are, without a doubt, the most negative person I know. I really don't give a **** about your expectations. I believe they will make the playoffs. So do most of the fans on this board.

    You know, I don't begrudge your right to post here. But I'm sick of seeing you spew your negative **** in every thread. Stick to one thread so I can avoid it.

    Exactly what Puedlfor said...you've got to believe the Rockets can do it, just like the championship days not too long ago. This team has a lot of heart and great chemistry, and I believe they can pull it out and make the playoffs.
