The Tillman sets the bar at Western Conference Finals

"I am here to win championships," Fertitta said. "I'm not going to let five or 10 or 15 or 20 million dollars make the difference. If you do win the championship, that's easy money back. Now, if we are in the luxury tax every year and barely getting in the playoffs and a first-round game is a struggle, I'm going to find me a new general manager."

 

If Gordon is injured in first round, a first-round game is a struggle.

 

Western Conference Finals or bust!

 

Hey Tilfart FerCheapo you might want to take those financial shackles off the best GM in pro sports.

 

Yeah no, WC semis at best

 

Rockets could still get to the WCF but not if the SEEDING holds with them in the 4/5 bracket.

To get to the 3 seed they need ROSTER ADDITIONS. Those additions did not happen for *reasons*

 

It's 50 wins or Bust!

 

4 or 5 seed can only pass the first round, 6 or 7 seed seed could be struggle in first round.

 

I'm really looking forward to what Rockets can do with Harden, Capella, CP, Faried, and EGo all healthy in the last 25 regular season games. For me, that will determine how far we go in the playoffs. As usual with Rockets the emphasis is on health.
