How far do you gusy think Houston will go. As of late they have been playing great, so I have big hopes for them. I think that if they play as they have been playing in their last 5 games they truly have a chance at winning a ring, specially if Yao and Tmac keep playing the way they are. But realistically I believe that they will loose in the conference Finals to the Spurs who IMO will win it all again.
I have to agree with you that the Rockets have a chance to go deep in the playoffs but will lose to Dallas, Spurs, or Phoenix. The way they are playing they should at least get to the second round but me being a rocket fan I hope they go all the way.
I hope they go all the way too. But they have the abilites to beat Dallas, Phoenix and the Spurs. I don't want to really say anything right now as it's too early. But I know they will go deep in the playoffs.
They will go as far as Yao and T-Mac take them,I mean if T-Mac and Yao got season ending injuries tomarrow this team would have no chance to compete.
The playoffs are a definite. The second round is probable. After that, I really can't say.We can beat teams like the Spurs, Mavs, and Suns. The question is if we can sustain the momentum to beat them in 7 games.
The only team we have to be worried about are the Suns. If we dont play them in the playoffs, then it's all good

The Rockets would be able to take a couple games from each of those teams in a 7 game series, but I dont think they would beat them. The Spurs and Mavs are just in a different league IMO. They are the best two teams in basketball. I think that Houston would give Phoenix problems but I would take Phoenix in 7 games over the Rockets.

They have a great team, which once again has a shot at an NBA championship. Ginobli is starting to play well once again, and Duncan is playing like he always does. Their tough D and style fo play posses a threath to the Rockets.The Dallas Mavericks shoudl also be a team that we should worry about. They have Dirk and a much and improved Josh Howard, who coudl cause a mismatch for the Rockets.Phoenix is also a concern like you saidm, because I highly doubt that Houston can keep up with the Suns.

Spurs and Mavs are always gonna be there.
I think T-mac and Yao (mainly T-mac) are tired of not making it out the first round.I think the only thing on his mind is getting that championship. I think the Rockets have a shot to go to the Conference Finals(long shot) if they can dodge the Suns cause of their style of play. I think they can compete against the Mavs and the Spurs
The rockets might have a little trouble, I heard Tmac is out indef, so Yao is going to really have to carry them.
Down goes Houston. Down goes Houston. Mcgrady's constant back problems are going to be the end of Houston this year.
