Rockets won't get through LAC or Memphis if they ever face either of those 2 teams this season. Our bench is just not consistent enough to do so. I was inclined to say OKC but both games we played them in we were injured or played in a really bad funk. I think it is doable but unlikely in a 7 game series as it is with the spurs.
The Lakers in 1998 went on a 22-3 tear in the last 2 months of the regular season, everyone had them Finals bound when the playoffs began, then they got swept in the WCF.
The Rockets are playing well now but that doesn't mean they won't lose in lopsided fashion in the playoffs. I still don't think they really have a true leader yet, they're winning based on talent.
It's all matchups for them. The rockets struggle against teams with big shot blockers like LAC and OKC, and memphis since they depend so much on layups and don't do mid-range. When the layups don't fall, they run out of ideas and chuck threes. Then they lose.
The rockets have a slim chance at even getting to the wcf. They have the blue print, just haven't straightener the kinks like bench production out.
I know they won't get there this year, I think they'll be 4th and face the Thunder in the Semi-Finals.
Pacers dropped another game, Hou won it's 17th game in 15 games.
Everybody predicted we would go 0-3
I think we lose to Miami but beat OKC next game.
15th in 17th games, thanks for the heads up Wizard
Yea we ain't getting that win in South Beach.
I still think OKC is gonna blow Houston out. Next 2 games 0-2. Board calls rockets frauds, back to step 1
Probably. But those were always schedule losses for the rockets.
Still, OKC is hurting at the moment so who knows.
Houston also faces Chicago soon. Prolly lose that one. I could see them beating MethKC and the Heat again.
We're not gonna lose to Chi
They're basically Memphis East. Didn't y'all have trouble with them earlier this year at home too?We're not gonna lose to Chi
No we beat them easily
Memphis is completely different. They have Gasol and Zbo
Probably lose to OKC and beat Miami.
Noah is Gasol without the jumper while Boozer = Zbo without the grit. Chicago also has superior coaching.No we beat them easily
Memphis is completely different. They have Gasol and Zbo
I don't know then...it was pretty easy to beat Chicago last time while we just play like ass against memphis all the time.
Welp, we'll find out soon. They're the only other team that's been playing as well as Houston since the turn of the calendar.
Pretty sure the Clippers and Nyets have had a better record since January 1st than Chicago as well....
Yep, you're right.
