I'm tired of all the pundits talking about how w MIGHT get out of the 1st Round. I could care less about getting out of the first round. I think we are all focused on getting to the WCF or NBA Finals. I don't think we should accept the fact that we've never been out of the first round, to lessen our expectations for WCF or NBA Finals. WCF here we come full speed with Ron Ron putting in work.
There's a quote in my sig from Stan Van Gundy that I think is an appropriate answer to this question. If you aren't talking Championship, what's the point. Bring it on! The Rockets won't back down from anyone! They may not win it all, but by god they will fall fighting.
Out in the first round would suck. Getting past the first round but losing in the second would be underwhelming. I'd be satisfied if we get to the WCF. I'd be very happy if we get to the Finals. I'd be in heaven if we win it all.
I said it earlier, if this team stays healthly than the only limit is sky...But I voted for WCF because first of all we gotta syat healthly and show we can do that.
You got to get out of the first round before you can win it all.......something this team hasn't done in over a decade. (If we lose in the 1st round again, I'll be crushed) So yeah, I'll like to see this team move past the first round and remove that gorilla off their backs before I even start thinking about the "C" word. All of that is just premature right now.
how healthy our team can be.. a healthy steve francis for our back-up pg. No disrespect to Brooks but pre-season and regular season are to different things. brooks is killing against 2-3 unit players. I would like to see how he would do against 1st and 2nd unit players. Last but not least I would love to see David Stern give Les Alexander the 2008-2009 NBA Trophy!!!!!!!!!!!
I say embarrassing the Jazz in the playoffs, then going all the way to the finals and sweeping who ever we end up playing. <---I could live with that result
Thanks for the "hood" lesson. So, in the hood, if threw is for through - then is through in for threw (as in threw the ball away) ? These are the big questions
