Assume Kings and Marvs take #1 and #2, Lakers, Spurs, Rockets, and T-Wolves #3-#6, and the rest two teams are from Blazers, Jazz, Suns, or Sonics. Right now, the Rockets can beat Spurs/Lakers/T-Wolves. Kings and Marvs still much better than everybody else. People realizes that Rockets will be the most improving team this season. The team is changing from backcourt-oriented play to post-orient play. Everybody need to adjust to this new style. Rudy is still trying to find a consistent rotation. Team chemistry need time to develope. By playoff time, the rockets will be playing much better than now! Cann't wait!
Geezs man dont you think less than 20 games is hard to say about how far we go into play-offs But if you want a guess about the 2nd season I will say we go to 2nd round and lose a heart breaker to keep us out of conf finals but thats just IMHO.....
The rockets success directly correlates with how many times Yao gets the ball. They also need somebody else to step up and play big for them too.
We have to make the playoffs first. The Spurs and Lakers in the playoffs are a different story than in the regular season, you can bet on that. We have next to zero playoff experience.
Im not too sure if we would do well as of now. However, by the time the playoffs actually start, I think are team chemistry will be much improved which would make us a real threat.
Hmm, to be champion you have to beat Mavs and Kings on ther home court. That's impossible for the rockets right now. However, rockets will top Lakers, Spurs (already did), and T-wolves right now
