bonepit06-07 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 ftw we actually have a shot at 5 or 6 spot but even a 7 seed would be good because come playoff time we will have the chemistry on lock down and i see a long run in this years playoffs if the rockets do play the suns they will still win the series because the suns are sucking it up right now (with exception of yesterdays game against the Spurs) but we still know for sure latr this month when the Mavs get the Pistons Spurs and Boston back to back to back.

crazyjakeup Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 i bet boston goes through the playoffs undefeated untill they lose 4 in a row in the finals... to the mavs... hopefully(but not likely) Quote

The west is so stacked that whoever makes it to the finals will be so exhausted. imagine playing the Warriors and Suns back to back. ouch... anyways, back to the kidd trade. im a Nets fan and i am just SOOO happy we got this trade done. Harris is gonna be our future. we may not make the playoffs this year, but it'll be good for the long run. and those 2 first round draft picks should be good. Quote
bonepit06-07 Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 btw who saw the hornets spank the spurs 100-75 woot woot!!!! Quote
ftwdrummer Posted March 14, 2008 Author Posted March 14, 2008 I actually didn't see the spurs/hornets game...a friend of mine (one of the drum majors) is a ball kid for the mavs, and got me tickets for the charlotte game. Much as I agree we have a shot at the 5 or 6, I still think we probably get a 7...now, though, I'm 46/44/10 on whether it's the 7, 6, or 5 respectively. Much as I would wish to get the five, I want no part of Utah when they have home court. It's almost as scary a thought as playing a home-court Houston team. Quote
crazyjakeup Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 speaking of houston... 20 freakin games with no loss!!! omg... wtf... ****!!! Quote
bonepit06-07 Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 y are u so suprised they are deeper than people think they are Quote
ftwdrummer Posted March 15, 2008 Author Posted March 15, 2008 Two words: Tracy McGrady. Yeah, sure, he's a "fantastic" player...but one would think that a fantastic player would have made it out of the first round by now. Quote
bonepit06-07 Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 okay 21 now and prolly gonna be 22 but as good as EVERYONE is playin they could pull of 25 or 26 Quote
mbui Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 This streak is going to end eventually and most likely this week. But as a die-hard Rockets fan, I haven't felt this way since the championship years in 1994 & 1995. It's a surreal feeling to be witnessing history. 21 games in a row. I still can't believe it. Sunday's game against the Lakers will be the biggest regular season game in Rockets history since the 1990s. I can't wait. Quote

Sunday's game against the Lakers will be the biggest regular season game in Rockets history since the 1990s. I can't wait. If we beat the Lakers, then Houston is gonna win the West, no doubt. people were getting ahead of themselves a little, but they had a point when they said that if we pull off this next 5 games, then there's no reason why we couldn't reach that 33 mark. Houston FTW! ---- As for Dallas, they traded away their future, and look at the result. they've not been doing that well since the trade. ==== as of today: 1. * LA Lakers -- 2. * Houston -- 3. New Orleans 0.5 4. * Utah 2.5 5. Phoenix 1.5 6. San Antonio 1.5 7. Dallas 2.5 8. Golden State 4.0 9. Denver 6.0 10. Portland 11.0 11. Sacramento 16.0 12. LA Clippers 24.0 13. Seattle 29.5 14. Memphis 30.0 15. Minnesota 30.0 If this holds up, Dallas will lose in the first round against the Rockets Quote
ftwdrummer Posted March 16, 2008 Author Posted March 16, 2008 Remember, though...pre-trade, they were seventh, too. They've been getting better...the problem is, so is everyone else. Quote

mbui Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 So Maverick fans, How about them Celtics? Boston sweeps the Texas triangle of Houston, San Antonio, & Dallas. That's impressive. And, the Mavericks have yet to beat a team with a winning record since the Jason Kidd trade. Quote
ftwdrummer Posted March 21, 2008 Author Posted March 21, 2008 uggggggggggghhh...why the @&^**(# can't we finish games?!?!?!?!?!???? Quote
bonepit06-07 Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 i know its **** well we get another shot at the spurs on sunday lets see what happens Quote
ClarinetGlissandoInBlue Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 that Celtics team is just too stacked with Vets. 4 of them... Quote
ftwdrummer Posted March 22, 2008 Author Posted March 22, 2008 It's like we've turned into the Mavs, circa 2002 all over again. Close, but can't finish games...point guard makes Dirk better, but still can't finish...we think we're good, but we really aren't...Lakers mop the floor with us all the time... Quote
bonepit06-07 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 hopefully we get it together because its crunch time right now Quote
Claritone Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Maybe I'm just being pessimistic but this team appears to be completely falling apart. Losing three home games in a row should NEVER happen. Jason Kidd is a complete bust; he cant score, and his assists/ game have gone way down in the past few weeks. At the same time, Devin Harris is averaging career high numbers for New Jersey, and the absence of Diop as a post defender is painfully obvious. If Nowitzki's injury is as serious as it appears, I wouldn't count on even making the playoffs this year, and considering what we traded away for Kidd, the future doesn't look much better. Quote

bonepit06-07 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 i dnt want to be pessimistic either but ur right i dnt think we have wat it takes for the final push for a playoff spot hopefully ppl will step up in the abscence of dirk Quote
