We are going to 2nd round.... Code: Team W-L G left Diff Home Road PF :) Hornet 2-1 1 9 1-0 1-1 4-2 Jazz 2-2 0 -6 2-0 0-2 4-3 Nuggets 3-1 0 6 2-0 1-1 4-2 Spurs 2-2 0 16 1-1 1-1 4-2 Blazers 2-1 0 16 2-0 0-1 4-1 Mavs 2-1 1 7 1-1 1-0 4-2 Total 13-8 48 9-2 4-5 Go Rockets...
Stats are on our side! (don't know if they are, really, but Stats as you used it would indicate a person named... wait for it... STATS!!)
Unless we matchup with the Jazz, which is still possible. In which case, probably no second round. Would you guys rather face the Blazers in the first round (4-5 matchup) and then the Lakers in the second? Or the Jazz in the first round (3-6 matchup) and then the Nuggets in the second?
No. According to the number, we have home court and we win all home games and loose all road games against the Jazz. 4-3.
Tough call but I would rather take the chance on Jazz in the first round that we can have a good chance to go to the WCF!
I also love how the national media continues to count the Rockets out. Sure, our record isn't tops, but so many of our losses are to scrub teams during our inconsistent days, we should be a lock at #2. We step it up against fellow playoff teams.
