Sat 11 at Portland 9:00 Sun 12 at L.A. Lakers 8:30 Tue 14 Chicago 7:30 Thu 16 Charlotte 7:30 I REALLY hate to look ahead more than one game but let's look at some scenarios. Worst case: 1-3 giving the Rocks a 4-6 record. Best case: 3-1 for a 6-4 record. Most likely: 2-2 for a 5-5 record. No matter what happens, the Rockets have already surpassed last years 2-8 for the first 10 games! We have lots of reasons to be (cautiously) optimistic. ------------------ GATER
"cautiously optimistic" Hey, oeilpere, could you translate that doctor expression into Rocket's terms for us. Anyone want to translate a Greenspan assessment into LHutz terms for us. "irrational exuberance"
Greetings to you, Patheticus Sapiens from Houston. I can see you have already won against my Bulls. What a dumb prediction by some overoptimistic Rocket fan. ... and now,our first road win ... ------------------ Can't love all of you ...
and where did he say anything about beating the bulls? sounds to me like you just know the worst team on the list is bulls so assume that's who he means by the 1 victory [This message has been edited by Rocket Fan (edited November 10, 2000).]
Bulls first of all suck. Francis will eat your Pgs like he always does. Cuttino and Shandon will stop mercer and make him tired. Brand vs Taylor should be good to see. Fizer will get his ass lighted up by kenny and walt. The bulls will get embarresed like last year when they lost by 50 something. ------------------ "You look a team that's been to the mountaintop like the Houston Rockets, I'm going to put pressure on myself to be the best possible player that I can be. With the pieces they already have in place and myself, we can do some amazing things next season." Maurice Taylor
Hey, didnt the Rockets lose like 12 games before the won 1 last year? I go for either 2-2 or 3-1...I feel pretty good about them winning one against portland or LA but not too sure about both. Wouldnt it be cool if the won all four though!? Those Bulls are lookin like a team i like to call the CLIPPERS, and the Rockets look like a team destined for greatness. ------------------
i say 3-1. I think the lakers will be out for revenge. I think we can take portland. and roydelton, what a ignorant prediction by a dumbass bulls fan. dont criticize others for doing something and then go and do it yourself. We call that being a hypocrite.
roydelton - Last years Bulls were 1-9 in their first ten games. Considering a co-ROY, all of your draft picks, a high profile FA (Mercer) and TONS of cap room - what do you think the currently 1-4 Bulls will be like at game 10 considering their next 5 games: Sat 11 Toronto 7:30 Tue 14 at Houston 7:30 Thu 16 at Denver 8:00 Sat 18 at Utah 8:00 Sun 19 at L.A. Lakers LOL !!!!!!! ------------------ GATER
I would say 2-2. I would be very surprised if the Rockets beat either L.A. or Portland, but I would be surprised if they lost to Chicago or Charlotte. I will also sadly state that I think 1-3 is more probable than 3-1, IMHO, but, hopefully I'm wrong..... ------------------ Jazzkiller
bobrek, if the Rockets don't win 1 of those 4 games it won't be a "worst case scenario" It will be classified as a "full blown disaster". ------------------ GATER
