Are the Rockets Ready to Relaunch?

[Lars]

Nuggets we can beat.......Spurs and Lakers.....that will be tough.

I think we match up with the spurs better than anyone, especially if Manu is out.

IF Manu is out...Keyword, if he isn't we can't beat them , plain and simple

Sook that is by far the worst at ude I've seen yet. We typically split our games with the Spurs. Both teams have trouble with each other.

Yea and the suns close to swept the spurs in the reg season...and they lost in 5 games.

Don't mistake playoff spurs with the reg season spurs, with a Coaching Genius like Pop you never know.

I was at the game when we beat them by ~20 with all of thier guys healthy. I am not saying they are bad or overated, I just think we match up well with them pretty well specifically.

[sook]

You bring up an interesting point, with the emergence of Bonner and Mason i still have my doubts.

Lowry and Brooks can maintain the speed of TP so idk...

[Rogue]

rockets will have to relaunch, with 22m-worth a trash left on land.

That 22m worth of trash will turn to gold in 2010 though.

[GuerillaBlack]

If they get a 4/5 seed they have a shot. Don't see them beating Nuggets/Spurs/Lakers.

We can beat the Nuggets. We already have twice this season.

keep a finger on this, just in case

[DaDakota]

Rockets will at least be a 4th seed and maybe as high as a number 2.

I think I'm in the minority who believe that.

[Tmac&Luther]

It's funny that you use that smilie.....because that smilie sums up your entire franchise. Go kick a exercise bike or something.

[Tmac&Luther]

Anyways Houston is about to go on a run, the elite defense is back and the team is MUCH better without Tmac. A cloud has been lifted now that Tmac announced he won't be back and the team is starting to come together. Aaron is also only going to get better now that the team has been turned over to him and he doesn't have Rafer looking over his shoulder.

We'll have a much clearer picture of the 'run' that we're about to go on after Tuesday vs Portland and Thursday vs Cleveland. Here's hoping for a couple W's

This team has always been a second half team, that's why we are now playing defense. This team coasted the first half, now they play with effort every time out.

Relying on history wont get you too far in the NBA.

The Mavs know only too well

awesome game, best defense played ever since TMAC went out Ron Ron is a BEAST!! I love this guy

I'm not "relying on history", I'm just stating the facts.....this squad (current players) pull it together and finish strong in the second half. Everybody has ed about our defense all year....now we're playing great defense. When we play that defense we win. This team is about to go on a run, you can disagree with that statement all you want, but it's not going to stop it from happening. (unless Yao goes down Again)

Well, I don't know how that's much different from relying on history, but I sure hope you're right.
