Completely agree. Maybe next week they will go with this: "Rockets ranked #6 Houston has lost every game in which the other team scored more points."
Using that logic, the Rockets should not be ranked that high either, considering they are 13-2 against the East.
Well using that logic i think the same could be said for any of the top west teams who all probably have spectacular if not great records vs the east
Among Western Conference teams, Houston is 6th with respect to the record versus other Western Conference teams. Only Phoenix has a better record against the East than Houston does.
EXACTLY. Phoenix has been behind in only 6 games after 3, us in 11, Denver and Dallas at 14, Spurs at 15... after that it rises quickly. It should have said 'Only Phoenix is ahead in more games after 3 qtrs than Houston' How stupid can they be?
I didn't think this needed it's own thread but the "Hibachi" Gilbert Arenas considers the rockets a dominating team. "Whooo, man. Did they come in here and beat us down, or did they? It was one of them games where you start off and you hit your first basket and you like, “OK!” and you feel good about yourself and then you look up and it’s like you’re down 18-4. That’s the same thing they did when we played at their place. From there, we’re just trying to make a comeback. They showed their dominance that game. A team like them, a team like a Phoenix, a team like a Dallas, you know, Houston; You got to be clicking on all cylinders against them." This is from Gilbert's blog http://www.nba.com/blog/gilbert_arenas.html
on a related note, i just saw scoop jackson of ESPN interviewed, and he said the most interesting thing to watch in the 2nd half and the playoffs will be the "West's Final Four". Namely, Dallas, Phoenix, SA, and good ol' Houston. he says these teams will all be playing at a high level, and any playoff series between them will probably last till game 7. good to see Houston getting some props!
Yeah really what in the heack does that have to do with anything?just had to say something negative to move us down.
If we beat the Mavericks i swear the guy is going to write, Mavericks # 1 - Wondering how the Mavs lost to the Rockets? The whole world and I are wondering too!
