    its not just him, i dont even think the worriers will be a trouble for us in the playoffs
    and dont tell me this is like 15-16 because we had our chances even back then and the series was pretty even until curry got hurt and the refs were messing with us the first 2 games or the first game cant remember because i wasnt payin close attention to the officiating but i know 100% that even jeff van gundy stated it loud and clear on the air

    He is not entirely wrong but grasping at straws.

    The team has been inconsistent but could go on a win streak in the playoffs. You dun need to play 60 or 82 games in the playoffs.

    As long as other teams underestimate us, we could win some games, win a series or two.

    However, I would not bet on it. Making the playoffs would be tough enough this year.

    And MDA is bad at making time out calls.

    Yeah man! Rockets got so much swag they aint got time for lame "regular season wins"! Call me when the post-season starts (if we make it) and then you'll see just how good we really are!!!

    hahah lol it happens thats why we play because the best teams doesn't always win

    ever thought why the games and seasons are played over and over again and every times its different placement of the teams? after every season even after every single day the placement of the teams is not the same?

    on the other hand even if you win the title it doesnt mean you are or were the best... its just happened you got lucky and you won...

    Sure, but the great teams increase the probability of winning and force the lucky hand way more than the bad team.

    If you have 5 Team US players, it's easier to win.

    If you have Harden and CP3 scoring 30+ pts it is easier to win.

    Well, it's a topic for another time. When the Playoffs roll along.

    That's what fans of 14 Western teams are saying. Sounds like something to say to make you feel better about watching something hopeless.

    "YOU NEVER KNOW!"

    It's true, but you know when you're reaching.

    Depends on who plays once the 40 million dollar man gets hurt, and in which round it happens.

    ppl believe if rockets arent playing great now it equals they wont play well in playoffs which is divorced from the sound logic

    rockets are the force to be reckoned with even if they come into postseason limping even if cp3 is injured and no go....
    nobody would like to play vs us
    remember in 15 -16 when we caused curry to get hurt and lose the title?

    Borrow me your time device and I will go to the near future and see if we win in the playoffs, even make the playoffs.

    I probably put some cash aside, put it on someone along the way.
