That's why I wrote that the Rockets have the easiest schedule
I'm pointing out which teams have the easiest and hardest schedules to finish the season.

And we still fight for the 8th seed?That's why I wrote that the Rockets have the easiest schedule
The Rockets with healthy Yao/healthy TMAC, would be fighting for the #1 or #2 seed right now with that easy schedule.And we still fight for the 8th seed?
But without Yao/TMac, they'll be fighting for #8 with their easy schedule.
Rockets are the most hustling team, but at some point, you need talent.
Apparently, half a season is not enough time to demonstrate talent. Brooks, Lowry, Landry, Budinger are pretty damn young and talented.
Brooks/Landry are starter material
Lowry, great backup
Budinger is a role player
But overall, you're missing a veteran #1 guy.
It's like the Blazers of last year, the talent is too young and the vets aren't talented enough.
When the game's on the line, who can you go to and get the win?
Lowry is a starter; don't deny it.
He would be if he can shoot and doesn't make dumb mistakes in important moments.
Lowry can't hit the broad side of a barn.
And when the game starts getting close, he starts baking turnovers.
No.
See, unlike the Blazers, the Rockets players have experience. Most (besides Budinger and Andersen really) have good playoff experience. As far as who takes the last shot...it's Brooks.
Ariza has been jacking them quite a bit; good to see that Adelman has Ariza's shot attempts under control. I'm much more comfortable with Brooks or Lowry handling the ball at the end of the game.
I swear Ariza can't dribble better an average 5th grader.
Wtf happened to the spurs? they cant even win games on their homecourt anymore, pretty crazy to see how bad their D is compared to a few years back..They used to shut down teams in crunch time like crazy.
The correct response is that have alot of experience losing in the Playoffs.
How can you call that good playoff experience when they've only been out of the 1st round one time?
And this is why the Rockets are in the grab bag for the #8 spot.As far as who takes the last shot...it's Brooks.
I hate the electric slide that he does when he drives and stops dribbling. Dude shouldn't be allowed to dribble.
So, you really think moving to the second round does not help with one's playoff experience...because they lost? "Bad" playoff experience would have been if they had lost to Portland. You don't think Brooks playing some in the playoffs against Utah and then coming back next year in the playoffs helped? Same with Landry? Come on.
Brooks...as of now. Rockets are going to trade.And this is why the Rockets are in the grab bag for the #8 spot.

BRHornet im sorry son... Hornets are still quality but thats a tough division.
The way the Spurs are currently playing the last few games; we won't make the playoffs. I hate to say it, but we need another coach who is willing to adjust to his players instead of forcing his players to adjust to him.
Right now Adelman is coaching his butt off because he is working with what he has. His team has played with more heart this year than the Spurs have all year. Losing against utah was pathetic and tonight's lost was gutless.
Experience is good. I just don't think they have enough talented vets to power them down the stretch.
I knew last year the Rockets were going to beat the Blazers because they had Yao and Artest.
A trade might change everything.Brooks...as of now. Rockets are going to trade.
I'll admit, the Rockets are the hardest team to measure up. They shouldn't be in the Playoff race, but they are.
Playoffs or not, you should be proud of the way your Rockets competed this year.
Every team is above .500 by at least four games...
Toughest division in the NBA.
Yep... Rockets just wont go away. Props on the game tonight - just outplayed, outhustled, outworked the Spurs everywhere.
Shows hor far the Spurs defense has fallen... these games never went into the 80's... tonight there were over 220 points scored.
Depressing.
It is frustrating to see the defense essentially disappear especially this year.
I was excited about the aquisitions they made in the off season, but they have not panned out. At the rate they are playing, missing the playoffs is not out of the realm possibility, I hope I am wrong though.
McDyess seems to have aged 5 yrs in the off season, and is a non-factor.
RJ is very streaky at best.
Theo hasn't played enough to say, I was hoping he would have a Kevin Willis type role, this has not materialized at all.
Ian really needs to play more, can't get too much worse it seems.
Blair has been a pleasant surprise, he needs to improve on the defensive side of the ball though, he has passion for sure.
I think Manu is coming into form again, too little too late maybe?
Tony has that PF problem and it is hurting his play I think.
Bogans has show flashes but is justa glorified role player player.
Hill has been pretty solid, but sometimes is not agressive enough, if he were to play defense the way I believe he can, he could be a poor man's Alvin Robertson.
Tim is trying to carry the load but not enough help is coming along with him.
It's hard to fathom anyone but Dallas getting it. The Spurs suck, and haven't even began the tough part of the schedule. Memphis needs more than a hot streak the last couple of months to convince me they're legit (Randolph is playing way over his head). Houston doesn't have the talent to do much of anything. I expect the Hornets to improve a bit, but they don't have enough to seriously challenge for the division crown.
i swear to god that has to be a travel, and he does it every ing game, so predictable.
