Is anyone really scared of the Rockets???

[Real Tomato Ketchup]

Really???

[m33p0]

you want me to be?

[hater]

the rocket that hit the satellite?

[ChumpDumper]

Terrified.

[T Park]

Oughtta be, especially if they sign Brent Barry.

[mavsfan1000]

Not any more than the other teams in the playoffs of the west.

[ludda]

Please, Tmac-Yao Rockets have to yet get out of the first round before they command any fear or postseason respect.

Maurice " the Rocket " Richard ??

NOLA, LA, PHX and the two teams in the East are the only ones that make me wonder.

TMAC/"Can I write a cheque" don't stir any fear

Scared of the Rockets?

In a single game, maybe.

In a 7-game series, nope.

Holy shit

[Beno Udrih]

Bonner and Clemens??? Didn't know they combined forces....

[Real Tomato Ketchup]

Holy shit


Srsly!!! I would rather run into Terry Cummings in a dark alley.

[Matchman]

Not any more than the other teams in the playoffs of the west.

QFT. Nice to see a normal response from a fan of another team

[SenorSpur]

If not, we'd better be.

[Indazone]

Well this isn't the robot team that JVG coached. It's a new day.

This is a Rick Adleman coached team that actually knows how to play motion offense and how to use his athletes to the best of their abilities.

[whottt]

How can you not be scared of Scola?

He puts up 8 points and 9 rebounds on All Star Forwards....do you think performances like that happen every day?

8 points
9 rebounds

Deal with those mf'n numbers right there...if the sheer excellence of those numbers doesn't scare you...I don't know what will.


Luis fucking Scola baby...the definition of fear.

[Trainwreck2100]

Yes because Rick Adelman teams really know how to win

[ancestron]

No.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I wouldn't go to sleep on them, but not really. Plus they got rid of some of their depth (in two scorers) for a dunker.

[Dave McNulla]

they won 11 games in a row. that's two fewer than portland put up. seriously. they have a good record right now, but it's still february.

i like the spurs chances against them.

[polandprzem]

They are peaking too early.

They will pump off like Trail Blazers



btw. Is there a pump off word?

[WalterBenitez]

Rockets could even scare me during regular season, but .. in playoff? as long as T-MAC were there they are just kitties :lol

[Martin R]

I am scared of the ROCKETS with the SCOLA effect against San Antonio.
It's just pOISON after all that has been said and written. Poison.

[ArgSpursFan.]

Somebody was reading my mind I guess.

[wildbill2u]

Houston is one of those teams that nobody wants to face in the first round.

Forget about last year where they lost to a very good Utah team by inches. Not the same team, but they have some playoff experience now.

Mainly They are much improved talent wise (Scola, Landry) and Adelman has built on the good defensive club that Van Gundy put together.

This recent win streak is no fluke and you can see this team's growing confidence in themselves. Are they still in the bottom four of the West? Yes, but the difference between #8 and #1 is narrowing.
