    Do you?

    Deke + Scola + Landry > Deke + Howard

    I believe they'll make the playoffs. I also believe I'm not going to pay a dime for playoff tickets.

    This is too painful.

    We've made the playoffs before. I don't want to JUST make the playoffs.

    I think the Rockets can make the playoffs too. But if they are fortunate to beat out a couple of other WC teams to get there, they won't advance with the huge disadvantage of not having Yao. It's just too tough.

    I am not saying we should tank by any means, but at this point they would be better off with a lottery pick.

    I am going to root for the Rockets to get the playoffs, but it will be tough.

    Yao and Tmac will still be 1st round virgins after the playoffs.

    Unfortunately for them, in Houston that's not good enough.

    I say we make the second round, that´s what i predicted at the beginning of the season and as many say "it will depend on how Scola develops" well now is the same but Scola has to develop harder, better faster and stroger.

    I hope T-Mac doesn´t go, "it´s on me" mode, if that happens, forget all my post.

    What is out there that can help the Rockets and should Morey even consider bringing in somebody at all?

    Luis scola, this is your finest hour!!
    luckily,there are not many good centers in the nba. Scola and landry in the starting line up will work! I believe this! Maybe I'm in denial, but let's not waive that white flag just yet!

    I'd just as soon tank then go to the playoffs undermanned.

    Since GS passed the 1st round last year, why couldn't the rockets do the same thing this year?!

    That´s my thinking, if we get a favorable matchup why can´t we get pass too?

    Exactly.

    I'd much rather the Rockets have a higher first round pick than watch them one lung it in the playoffs.

    Anyone who thinks we can make the playoffs right now significantly undervalues the impact Yao Ming makes for this team. Our roster minus Yao Ming is pedestrian. He is the foundation of our offense and defense.

    Game over worry about next season now :(
