how far do you think the houston rockets can go in the playoffs?

[101]

i'm hoping for all the way..but i think they'll lose to the mavericks in the second round

houston rockets vs utah jazz (1st round)
2-1 houston

[DaGreatAzn]

I also think 2nd round

[shinobi]

yall over looking utah... they a very good team. :P

[101]

yall over looking utah... they a very good team. :P

they're so out of sync right now.. and the rockets had been playing great with home court advantage.....

[Thisdamngood]

Rockets will get out of first round and that's it. They can't compete with the likes of Dallas and Pheonix.

the Rockets have a better chance grinding it out with Dallas then they do trying to score 120 a night with Phoenix... its not impossible to beat Dallas, but Phoenix really is the worst draw...

anyways... it just seems impossible for Houston to get to the finals... they're too inconsistent... one night TMac can shoot 40% and drop 40, the next he's on his back, the next he's shooting 20% and drop 15... then there's Alston and Head with inconsistent shooting... which leaves the Hayes/Battier/Yao... whom are pretty consistent, but definitly not enough to win it all...

How deep the Rockets go this year in the playoffs depend on how well Head, Alston and Battier is shooting the ball. If other teams are doubling and tripling Yao and Tmac they must make the other teams pay. And impossible is nothing, according to Tmac.

And impossible is nothing, according to Tmac.

That won't mean a thing until he gets us through the first round... this isn't Yao's team until he stops flying around everywhere and stands his ground... I don't see Shaq get plowed over every other game... sh*t... -pirate

[101]

give some props to yao and tmac... if only they can get a real point guard....
alston just cant do the job

[effxiikc]

if yao and mcgrady both stay healthy in the playoffs...they could go to the finals...and probably win since the East is so weak...west is where all the interesting games will be played...GO LAKERS THO!

[nicktwc85]

With Yao Ming,rockets can go all the way!

You are just being way too optimistic. Yao needs to learn more on drawing fouls from defenders. Rockets have a chance if they can consistantly jack up those 3s in high percentage. -detect

Rockets don't play Suns or Mavs during the first round so they don't have to worry about the likes of Dallas and Phoenix, but they will have a hard time with Utah and exiting in the first round is likely.

[fattsoo]

I really cant see the rockets go anywhere this season...the team does not have a bench, and the team chemistry is way out of wack...lets just hope t-mac and yao can carry the team...but i see them getting out at the 2nd round at best...maybe even after the first round

what j00 talkin bout willis? TMac got Yao's back man... chemistry's fine... Bonzi's been outta wack since he got to Houston... that's just a minor detail... although Alston is inconsistent, the guy's loyal and plays hard... and psh... Battier's a robot... -lol

[nicktwc85]

No way!Yao's the best center in NBA and will rawk the playoffs!!

[101]

can't wait to see yao in action for the playoffs....
just hope the refs would call it down the middle....
yao always get call with bs fouls

[DuchSauce]

I'm going to say 6 games. Utah will get their act together, and either McGrady or Yao will stumble.

[east17]

hoping to the final ha ha :) but 2nd round is realistic :)

[jibotmira]

i think they are going to the conference final, and maybe in the final

[101]

1-0 houston

[101]

2-0 houston......
lets hope they can keep it up....
go rockets!!!

[nicktwc85]

Rockets 2-0 up and they're going all the way to lift the NBA title.

[koreancabbage]

houston will go as far if everyone around them gets eliminated

Dallas, San Antonio having problems with the #8 and #6 seeds, respectively

[koreancabbage]

and plus, Tmac hasn't shown he can win the playoffs... so lets see

[nicktwc85]

Tmac will step it up.Yao will cover for him in the mean time ;)

[101]

give some props to t-mac....hes been carrying the team in those important 3rd quarter... its the role player that needs to step up.... if they can't make those open shots... its going to be tough for the rockets...

[honkiebonkie]

yeh talk about role players... the bench scored NOTHING!!!! in the loss to Utah....how crap is that!!!

[101]

wtf.... they can't do shit..... that pisses me off

[101]

2-1 houston.....
what a disapointing game 3....
r they role players going to show up or what....

[nicktwc85]

Cmon Tmac n Yao!

[Thisdamngood]

Houston will probably beat Utah and Golden State. Then they will lose to the Suns.

[101]

time for vacation

[porkyporkchop]

boo they lost =(

[101]

hope they'll make some good trades in the summer

[nicktwc85]

Sigh....what a dissapointing campaign.Everyone thought they would get past Jazz....but it wasnt meant to be

[rainees2cc]

-^_^ i love t mac <3

[bambambob2]

conference finals

[jt_skyline]

Even though the rockets lost this year i still think they will be back next year and at least get to the 2nd round.
Tmac deserves to finaaly win a playoff series, he has been one of the most dominent players in the NBA. But now that he is in Houston i think people are paying as much attention on him.

[crasianlee]

lol they lost this year
hhopefully next year they can do better
and win it!
tmac yao!!

[artofwar]

it is going to be hard for houston to do anything in the playoffs without a good 4, scola and hayes are not good enough

[edzzz66]

I think they can go no more than the second round b/c Spurs are nasty.
