    I think if our team keep healthy,we can sure make the playoffs!
    Dallas lose Howard vs Thunder,they may not make the playoffs.
    And now the question is :what seed we can make? And better not meet Jazz in the first round?I am not saying that we cant beat them in the first round,but it can be really hard for the team to beat them.

    Oh,Yao joined here in 2002,has Rox achieved anything since we won the champion in 94and 95? It seems that you owe the all the responsibilities to Yao!

    I hope we win the division. But I do not want to see the Jazz in the first round again. Which could very well happen if we get the third or second seed. Right now the Jazz are sitting in seventh. I doubt they will be higher then the sixth seed.

    We a god chance of seeing them in the first round again.

    Who cares. Spurs are the only team in the division that will advance deep into the playoffs.

    Nice post
    If we are gonna have a chance to win the div we gotta go at least 10-5 in the games that you've listed (7 r @ home) and lose no more than 2 games left w/the scrubs (so tot=15-7). That would give us a record of 53-29.
    Whoever has 29 loses will probably get the 3rd seed. We shall see.

    I totally agree and i see our defenses getting better and, i'm not putting it past the Spurs to regroup, but they are more banged up this year-so.

    I do not think we will win the division. I, however, am more confident than ever before that as long as Yao stays healthy (and most of our corps of that matter), we are FINALLY second round bound.

    I disagree and i'm willing to wager that we at least finish better than 7.
    would you like to wager?

    You are a top tier Rox Fan, napalm_black. You may get to fell what it's like for the Rox to win up there. With Artest, at least 1.

    What I meant by beating a good team on the road is with the current team so lately.

    We play 5-8 meaning 5 on 8 so against the opponent and the refs

    I like the current match up with portland, denver, or new orleans... Just get home court advantage would suffice

    I hope so, but the Spurs are really plumbless.

    They are way too steady.

    I hope we could finish the regular season at 2 or 3, meeting the Mavs again in the first round, then sweep them for revenge.

    THAT IS

    3rd Mar vs RAPTOR

    8th Mar vs Grizzlies

    9th Mar vs Nuggets

    13rd Mar vs Bobcats

    20th Mar vs Timberwolves

    28th Mar vs Clippers

    5th April vs Blazers

    9th April vs Warriors

    10thApril vs Kings

    Nope not going to happen.. SA is a solid team... They have been winning w/ or w/o their main guys. Manu is about to come back and TD just came back. They are about to a strong push. Thats not mentioning that we have a tough schedule ahead of us

    beating the cavs is certainly nice but Mavs and Detroit are not as 2 years ago...

    I will be patient and wait until next 2 weeks pass ;)

    There is actually only 22 games left on the schedule. 14 of those games are against teams with winning records, and that doesn't include Detroit whose right at .500. It's really gonna test us.
