    That statement is a load of crap! There is no replacement for play-off experience. Period.

    Your comparison to Detroit is flawed. There is no way the Pistons have the same level of talent as the Rox.

    You have an up and coming Rip but who unfortunately isn't there yet, assuming he will actually get there he won't be a franchise player.

    Then you have Ben Wallace, who's gotta be the most one-dimensional player I've ever seen. The fact that he made the ASG shows the sad state of affairs at the center postion in the NBA.

    You have Cliff who's way past his peak.

    Then you have the scrubs.

    The only reason the Pistons can even make the playoffs is cuz there are in the East. You don't expect this team to win the championship every year so making the playoffs every year is already a huge achievement for them.

    Pretty much what i believe also. If Seattle makes a move and gets SAR, they will no doubt pass us up in the standings. Maybe its just me,but tha team is one legit post player away from being a very good team.Jumper can only take you so far.

    Don't worry about the playoffs? I can't believe the Tank Brigade has to come in here to put some nuts in your sack.

    1. We have no draft position to improve by losing.
    2. Every team that wins in the playoffs loses in the playoffs first. Those guys who just smoked our *&@% did their losing to the Kings last year and now are ready to go all the way as a result. Let's get there and do our losing so we'll know how to come back next time and win.

    If we don't make the playoffs this year the entire morale of the team will be shattered. They have to play much better and can only do that by sharing the ball and execution. It's a must win situation right now for the Rockets,they are in extreme danger of dropping out of the playoffs now.They have got to make it happen.A change in attitude is imperative time is running out fast.

    We won't be winning the championship in two years though. The point is making the playoffs this year would be nice, but it's not a requirement.

    Rudy and CD should do that thing that the Mav's said they were going to to in the begining of the year to their team. When a Mav's player played poor defensivly, he was pentalized with a fine (money.)

    Maybe everytime the Rockets don't pass or go ISO, Rudy should fine a player. Then again with the way out team plays, the whole Rockets team could end up broke by the end of the year...
