    We are a different team this year and we will make some buzz.

    we're the underdog and the team every team wanna play in the playoff....
    nobody expect us to get pass 1st round and think the win streak is a fluke.

    We're likely either draw lakers or jazz..... hard to imagine beating either in a 7 game series, even with HCA

    On a scale from 1 to 10, the rox are a 6.5 that can play at a 8. Talent limitation won't allow them to play @8 for a long period of time.

    Two positives this year relative to last year:

    We're deeper and better at PG. We're deeper and better PF.

    The bad news is that we won't have Yao in the post-season. With Yao, this team could seriously contend for the Western Conference and into the NBA finals. Right now, I think we need a favorable matchup where the opponent doesn't have a dominating or near dominating big man (Phoenix, San Antonio, Los Angeles Lakers).

    we won't be favorites even if we face denver. ESPN heads have said we're the team EVERY TEAM wants to face right now (or teams juggling to get us as the season winds down).

    once again, a t-mac led team is the underdog. it'll be a tough fight, but if they bring intensity and heart and passion to each and every game, that's all i'm asking for.

    this experience will be huge for guys like landry, scola, and brooks as we will need all of them to grow in our quest for a championship next year. with a better team, tmac and yao will play around 33-34 mins and we will still dominate.

    Scola has more big game experiences than any other Rockets....

    Thats right. Scola was MVP for Argentina. I mean if you look at scola, you just can't put him in the section of choking.

    Well, most people here have a point. We are the team that every other team wants to play, even Denver. Why? Because we are the least scariest out of all the other teams. We're probably still better than Denver, but Denver would rather play us sine they have a higher probability.

    But who cares, I want to play CakeTown Jazz. I hate these guys and their fans. I don't mind playing Bumble Bees either, I need some honey on my desserts. But, against all odds, we might reach first place and get a chance to play the Talentfilled Players, but Talentless Team Denver Nuggets.
