[Sports Illustrated] Kelly Dwyer: In or out? Fighting for playoff lives

Personal Question....

Are you a Rockets fan, or do you just find this board good for information/viewpoints/entertainment/etc?

 

Well, TIME will tell...

 

Calm down, don't you see he IS KellyDwyer?

 

"pets Ryan Bowen and Juwan Howard"? Haha, Kelly, you should at least give this board some credit for that expression.

 

three of those four games (Lakers, Kings, Grizzlies) are must wins along with the Rocket's last remaining game with Utah. if we assume that the Rockets win these games, they can have identical records with the Lakers, Jazz, and Kings and win the tie-breaker. the Rockets just have to maintain the same winning rate as the Kings until they play them. if they beat the Jazz and Kings they can jump from 1.5 games back to a virtual tie which they win. well Kings have to lose today first (along with Nokies and Lakers), and the Jazz tomorrow.

 

I'd been reading Clutch stuff for a few years before this, but during the lockout year I started lurking at the BBS because it was the only place with intelligent hoop discussion to pour over during the time off between seasons.

Didn't sign up to post until a year later, though, then lost my password and signed up again a year after that.

It's the best BBS on the net. Has been since the beginning. Sounds like I'm pandering, but it's the damn truth.

 

Thats a objective article. We have one of the toughest schedules left amongst the teams fighting for playoffs. Yao can carry us, but we need TMac. and I agree, I think 15 wins would get us to the playoffs.

 

Props to Clutch and the crew!

 

agreed

 

He's a Bulls fan... Must have been from the Jordan years. I still say Dream & Co. would have beat them. I think Jordan retired since he knew he couldn't beat us (and he didn't want to be Maxwell's biotch).

 

I agree with most of the article - it looks like the Kings will knock NOK off the bubble, and LA and Sac will be the 7th and 8th seeds (in either order).

 

I don't like the way the Lakers are playing. Yes, the Spurs and Piston wins were solid, but their defense has gone WAY south since the 81-point game. Back then they were a top-10 defensive team, and now they're something like 16th or 17th in defensive efficiency. So they've been probably among the worst 7 or 8 defensive teams since the 81-point game. Not a good sign.

 

Bahh! KellyDwyer is just upset about the Rox crapping all over his Pacers

Seriously though, hate to say it, but an objective piece any way you look at it.

 

Even though I don't we'll lose that many games without T-Mac, it is fairly objective.

 

OOPS! Say that post # & just had to get off it ASAP!

 

Kelly, what's your best guess on our draft position, now that you've got the official word on McGrady being out?

 

I don't get it?
