    Will the Rockets make the Playoffs?

    Do u think Houston will make the playoffs or not??
    Houston started late last year and finished good...
    But i think that wont happen this year bcoz of injuries.. If we get anderson and barry back..we will be a good team... If everyone stays healthy i think that we could have a late run for the playoffs. [​IMG]

    I actually think they won't because the second part of the schedule is tough and I'm postive Tmac will reinjure that back because he was aiding it last night in the first half.

    They probably have to go 26-10 or 27-11 to have a chance. It would pretty much take a miracle.

    You guys had identical topics for discussion, and surely you'd think that it will be better for everyone to have them together? If you'll look, igotask8board made this thread way before you did, so of course his post would be first, as it's chronological order. Your own post is post #21.

    Nobody "stole" your idea, chill.

    Yay or Nay? Hmmmm, I say May........be.

    This is a tough prediction. If the Rockets can play like they did tonight against the Sonice, then I say yest. But they gotta keep it up. If they can keep playing like this, and players start getting healthy they can make it.

    But the Sonics really suck this year (not offense to Sonics fans). I don't think a win against them means too much, as far as us turning around the ship. It's easy to look good playing against the worst defense in the league.

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Yes!!!.....A week or so ago, I had my doubts, but I really think this team (when healthy) is still one of the best in the West and the NBA.

    if healthy and yao and mac play well they could make it. But they will choke in the playoffs again and get early exit due to low seed vs top seed and also due to lack of athleticism in the old players and it will wear them down in a playoff series. Sorry but the truth hurts!

    I still think we'll make it...I think we'll run the table (with the exception of the Phoenix game) before the allstar break and we'll be somewhere like 23-29...I still think GS and the Lakers are gonna fall, as will Denver and the Clippers so I dont think we're anywhere far from done...

    playoff hopes

    The rest of the games left of the season. Projections of games to go to the playoffs.
    FEBRUARY
    Lakers - Win
    Jazz - Win
    knicks - win
    clippers - maybe -- Shouldnt be hard with tmac and yao with the bench
    suns - maybe -- again shouldnt be hard with the superstars and defense
    clippers - maybe - depends on how we do on our last meeting the game before the suns. if we win that we win this
    warriors - win
    magic - win
    suns - maybe -- depends on the first meeting but also the defense needs to be up also the offense needs to be good enough to score at least 105..
    MARCH
    sixers - win
    nuggets - win
    blazers - win
    timberwolves - win
    pacers - win
    spurs - not likely - because they'll be hot by the time of this year, i dont think we can win that one
    nets - win
    mavs - maybe - depends how much mcgrady scores and yao and the defense
    spurs - maybe - just depends how we're doing if we are winning or losing before this game.. again we have to do good to get into the playoffs and each of these elite teams count
    clippers - win - now we have a chance to beat them after 2 times of knowing how their team is
    mavs - maybe - if we can win this we are in good shape, again just depends on healthiness and defense
    hornets - win
    cavs - win
    sonics - win
    wizards - win
    lakers - win
    sonics - win
    blazers - win
    warriors - win
    kings - win
    jazz - win
    timberwolves - win
    grizzlies - maybe - just depends on healthiness again and how our superstars and the role players contribute
    nuggets - win
    spurs - Maybe - now that this is the last game we probably will win but if other teams struggle or if we need this game to win and go to the playoffs we will and depends how we are doing if we are losing and probably arent gonna make the playoffs or if we are in the playoffs we will win driving momentum to the first game of round 1 game 1

    these projections may seem to good to people but this is what it will take at least 1 11- game winning streak and then another 10- game then an 8 - game and so on... JUST HOPE IF YOU A ROCKET FAN THAT THE ROCKETS CAN WIN THESE EASY GAMES WITH THEIR SUPERSTARS IN THE LINEUP AND EVERYONE ELSE HEALTHY. its too good of a second half of the season but who knows it happend to denver maybe itll be even better for us. you dont really see any losses on there because they are all easy games. Who can guard tracy besides bryant and bruce bowen.. nobody.. who can guard yao besides shaq and I dont think we even play the heat the rest of the way so its basically dependable on how their game plays and how the rest of the bench and other starts play. I think howard and alston will be awesome. wesely can have up and down games but the bench needs to be hot because you need barry to hit at least 2 3s every game along with anderson with 2 and chuck hayes to be great. I'll accept any win as long as it goes to the rockets, it doesnt matter if we win by one with a miracle or if we win by 50 when mcgrady has 2 pts.. I just want the rockets to have a chance to make the playoffs and then the playoffs if we play the mavs we whoop them and then suns or whoever else and then western confrence finals arent gonna be hard after the 1st and 2nd round with SA.. Then the finals possibly against detroit wont be hard because then we have won so many games. BUT IF WE DONT MAKE IT TO THE PLAYOFFS - THEN, next season do bad in the preseason ( like all elite teams do) and then the season we should be one of the top teams in the west for another CHAMPIONSHIP..... Who knows detroit might not win the championship, look what happend to the colts, they didnt even go to the superbowl..... could happen to detriot..

    If that happens, T-Mac and Yao not only become MVP, they will be in the list of 50 greatest NBA players. LOL [​IMG]
