    Over the last couple of months everyone on here has gone through a whole range of emotions. You know highs and lows.

    But I was wondering how good do you think the Rockets can get. I dont really follow other teams but most of the players especially Francis and Ming seam to want to be great. Oh yeah Mobley to.

    I mean do you think they can get one ring or maybe get 4 championships, being the first team to do that since the Celtics. (hopefully the Lakers wont do that this year.)

    Do you think maybe they could break the Bulls record for wins in a year. I think what was it 72 wins.

    You never know they could be the Wolves and never make it past the 1st round. But I doubt that though.

    Anyways I want some honest anwsers. Which is hard to do somethimes.

    I think maybe 3 rings would be middle ground for me. With lowest expectations maybe going to the finals a couple of times but never winning. Best case maybe 7 Championships...:cool: that is pushing it though.

    If everyone's healthy, I think the Rockets will be a top 5 or top 10 team for the next seven or eight years.

    I have yet to see enough from this team to think that they're head and shoulders above the rest of the league. And besides, a fair amount of luck comes into play during the playoffs. So using championships as a measuring stick isn't very fair.

    i think this team will win a championship at some point and very realistically can win even more. the chemistry that they have in such a short time is amazing and consider not one player is even in their prime yet. wow.

    As much as I love the Rockets, I think it's way to early to be making these kind of predictions in any serious manner. We're playing well right now, but this team has a long waqy to go and a lot of growing up to do before we can talk about how many championships we're gonna win. I'm just excited that we can finally start talking playoffs again.
