    Okay so we are not going to make the playoff, and even if we did, it will be an early exit for the Rockets.
    So would it be better to lose more games and get more (table tennis balls) for the lottery.
    What do you gusy think, maybe R.T can play the reserves more often?

    Go Rockets.
    Rockets to win it all in 3 years.

    I would love for us to have a better chance in the lottery but we cant just lose games on purpose. Its not good for the team. The way I see it is this, just tell the players to go and half fun. Do the best they can and learn the tricks of the nba.

    Possibly not. Rudy has done a great job drafting players. If the Rockets pick between 6 and 10, then I think the Rockets will pick up a great player!!! A solid starter or big contributor!

    I am one of those folks that is in total denial about us possibly not making the playoffs but the odds are mounting against us day by day aren't day ? So , if we don't then let the lottery come our way and hopefully it will be a good one for us this yr.

    Question : If all the underclassmen come out will this be a strong Draft ? ( I don't keep up w/college Basketball but have read enough here to understand that there are some very good underclass guys that seem to have good NBA careers ahead of them ).. Will it be considered a strong draft if they don't come out................out

    Well, then, I'll just have to top it. Cato nailed to the bench . . . Rudy taking Francis out of games . . . Thomas playing unprecedented minutes for a non-star Houston rookie . . . Do I hear the T-word?

    I think Bill Fitch has heard of that T word.


    I have given up hope of the playoffs. There has been far too many line-up changes this season as a result of injuries.


    Do not tank. Play them out and lets play spoiler.

    ------------------
    We would like to get rookie Francis on the break for some easy scoops in the first quarter...

    The Rockets are definitely playing for a lottery pick now. I think Francis is wearing down, after all he has never played this many games in a season before. He has to learn how to eat the right foods and rest, to be able to play an entire NBA season. All the bangin night in and night out, is taking its toll on the rookie.

    Soul mate in cynicism? There is no soul, you deluded fool. No mates, either.

    Ha ha, just lying. Oops, I mean kidding. :)
