8th spot is heaps dangerous for us to be honest. We already know the dangers of Golden State but has anyone seen Denver play recently? chucky Atkins has taken their offence to a whole new level.
it's only frustrating because they're right. if we lose in the first round, this streak would mean nothing. nobody remembered dallas's 68 wins after they bounced out of the first round.
Houston sports teams never get respect. This is nothing new. But it makes it all the sweeter when the Rockets win. If the disrespect from the media is pumping you up, imagine what it's doing for the team. You couldn't possibly pay for that kind of motivation There's no way the Rockets won't make the second round. Beyond that, even the best teams ever assembled needed a little luck.
I love how the media and experts are saying that Rockets aren't favored to come out the West. ...when there IS NO TEAM FAVORED TO COME OUT OF THE WEST RIGHT NOW. Lakers with no D? Phoenix with no identity? Mavs? Aging Spurs? Young Hornets? Utah that can't win on the road? 8th seed GSW? Please. Just let the players play the game.
The writer himself probably didn't even think the rocket will make the playoffs when yao goes out so what similiarity can you draw about the rockets to the mavs(heavy favorite to win it all) of last year??
I think the other teams are lucky we didn't have Yao. We (maybe) would've beat them by more! ROCKETS: NO YAO - Wizards: No Arenas ROCKETS: NO YAO - Grizzlies: Eh ROCKETS: NO YAO - Nuggets: 100% ROCKETS: NO YAO - Pacers: No Tinsley/O'Neal ROCKETS: NO YAO - Mavericks: No Dirk ROCKETS: NO YAO - Hornets: No West ROCKETS: NO YAO - Nets: Eh ROCKETS: NO YAO - Hawks: Eh ROCKETS: NO YAO - Bobcats: Eh ROCKETS: NO YAO - Lakers: No Gasol ROCKETS: NO YAO - Celtics: No Allen
When a team is doing impossible and this guy still pulling out negatives, you know he is a hater? What is the point of this article? Rockets is not a championship team? Nobody is when losing 23pts/11rebs/2blocks to injuries. I hate haters.
