What are we talking about... playoffs? just playoffs? This team is built for the championship... Rockets all the way!!! I tell you this... we gonna sneak up into the standing... get the 8th spot.... then destroy the Suns, next demolish the Spurs, after that make Avery Johnson cry... and finally crap on any championhip pretender from the Eastern Conference... this could happened in my wildest dream... or it could really happened if this team has got big heart and really come out play like there is no tomorrow...
You got that right, wolf in sheeps clothing, Mavs fan wearing a Rox jersey or whatever and he has made this thread 250 posts long by rebutting every Rox fan that says we have a chance. Damn straight the Rox have a chance, I was very impressed with Scola, Landry and Brooks in the Portland game and like what they can bring the second half. Adelman finally got his head out of his ass and saw the light that the Rox as constructed were in serious danger of not making the playoffs but with giving the rookies more playing time I am more optimistic than ever that we can make a run. Brooksball needs to find another team to root for.
Your definition of 'eternally optimistic' is ridiculous. If you think this team sucks, that it has shown nothing, that, as you say... 'we have no chance' at the playoffs, then you are clearly very pessimistic.
So it is simply poor interpretation by the reader? The only thing, with all due respect, exceeding your pessimism is your inability to take responsibility for your own posts.
Sounds like Brooksball has a case of the "Playoffs? Playoffs??? Don't talk about playoffs! Playoffs? Are you kidding me? Playoffs... can't even win a game!" It's a long season and many things could, and likely will, change for better or worse. Brooksball needs to visit the optometrist to fix his/her case of basketball-myopia.
I don't think the Rockets suck. I just think there are at least 8 teams that are better than them in the West.
I take responsibility. I never didn't. Taking responsibility doesn't require that I change my opinion, which is what you are looking for me to do.
No, but they may finish ahead of us. These are the 8 teams I see making the playoffs, as I stated in the OP: Spurs Mavericks Suns Jazz Hornets Nuggets Lakers Warriors The 9th and 10th spots will go to some combination of the Rockets, Kings and Blazers. Disclaimer: For those that may be confused, I am not God. These are just my opinions. Insert "In my opinion," before comments as needed.
BrooksBall, I want to ask again. Please answer my simple question. Does "guarantee" mean "100% absolutely guarantee" to you? .
No, I know what you meant. I shouldn't have used the word "guarantee". I know you meant you strongly believe the Rockets will make the playoffs. I hope you are right.
Sorry, that wasn't my words. My question is, does "guarantee" mean "100% absolutely guarantee" to you? Would you please answer it? What does "guarantee" mean to you? Thanks! .
I have no idea what you are asking. Read my last post. The word guarantee can have different meanings depending on the context in which it is used and the reader's interpretation. Again, I don't think you were 100% guaranteeing the Rockets would make the playoffs, so I shouldn't have used that word. You were expressing your belief that the Rockets would make the playoffs.
"guarantee" always means "100% absolutely guarantee" to me. My question is very very clear. Does "guarantee" mean "100% absolutely guarantee" to you? Yes or No? .
Ok, either A) you're playing reverse psychology 'jedi mind' trick if you will about the Rockets and/or B) you're a lawyer and you can neither confirm nor deny your said allegations. Extreme sarcasm ... Frankly this post elevates you from dumb to dumber status. The Kings are 18-24. The Rockets as of the moment are 24-19. HELLO! Hello McFly, is anyone home? So, for the Rox to win 50 games, they would have to go 26-13. For the Kings to subplant the Rox and go 51-31, they would have to go a mere 33-7! LOL! This just in, that's not gonna happen. The Kings don't play D! The Kings don't have a center. The Kings jump shoot their way into games and out of games. Thanks for the comic relief, BB! I needed a good laugh! LOL!
This isnt what the thread title says. In your original post you said the Rockets had no chance. If your OP had said exactly this (except the God part) nobody would have said much. The no chance part is what folks were up in arms over. It was ludicrous.
