Sure they could. If the Rockets do get the #1 seed, and you stay in the 8 slot, there you go. Houston is only a game back of the 1, so it ispossible.Originally Posted by daprescription

who exactly do you guys see them beating in the first round?
serious question.
New Orleans: CP3 is a beast, but the Rockets have already beat them twice in the past 3 weeks by double digits. Plus, it's a lot of Hornets' first time in the playoffs, so, who knows how they react to being in the big show for the first time.
Dallas: Rockets destroyed them with the pick and roll. (Minus Dirk of course) But, just like how three years ago I thought the Rockets matched up well against the Mavs, I think they still match up well against them. Dallas for the most part, has Houston's number though..
GSW: Without Yao, the Rockets stand a better chance of beating GSW. GSW always gives Yao fits, and the Rockets waste too much shot clock trying to get him the ball. (Al Harriington fronting him) As a result, the Rockets get off bad shots with the shot clock running out.
Phoenix: They're a scary team. ......on paper. But until they start showing that they've gelled with Shaq, any team in the West has a shot of beating them.
Utah: Last year, it was Hayes, Juwan Howard, and Yao trying to contain Boozer. Boozer is too quick on his feet for Howard + Yao, and as a result, he killed us. And Boozer didn't have to guard Hayes, as he has no offense. Now the Rockets can roll out Hayes + Landry + Scola on Boozer, and hope for the best. And Houston would have home court on the Jazz, whereas the Jazz aren't that good a road team this year.
Denver: More like _enver. No D. And they're horrible on the road.
Theres no way they could play Golden State, although I wish they could so we could beat them.

all games that they could possibly lose(sacramento and portland are also decent teams). if the team 3, 4, or even all 5 games in that firststretch they could drop to 6-8.

3 teams over 500.
SMH at people really believing that Tmac will get past the 1st..
they have benefitted from great scheduling.
They will lose 5 of their next 8
Ok, so based on your "logic" the fact that Houston won ONE game vs the Hornets, Rockets are better no doubt. And because they beat Dallas ONE time, they are better.
No wonder you guys can't get out of the first round. The playoffs are a SERIES of games, not just one.
And for the love of God, please do not ever say the Rockets match up well with the Spurs IN THE PLAYOFFS. Those guys treat the first round like the preseason, you guys plan for your vacations right after the first round is over. So please don't insult people with that garbage.
Your streak is nice, it's going to be remembered for a very long time. But don't act like it's the whole season and the rest of the games don't matter. If there was NO DOUBT they would be in the WCF, then why were they 10th in the west when the streak started?
As you say, go watch some games.
Dude, Clutch posed a question, who can the Rockets beat.
I listed some teams I thought they COULD beat. I didn't say they'd destroy them, but against the teams I listed, I really do think the Rockets stand achance. It's not like they're going to roll over or anything. Or get swept. But again, anybody can come out the West this year. Rockets included.
We'll find out soon enough.
Heck, the Warriors nobody aren't even is a lock to make it in.
For real?Originally Posted by Ryanbbn1
i sure hope not, bc i got a thousand dollar bet that TMac will never win a championship

So easy to spot the haters when they try to discredit a 19 game winning streak
sorry that not everyone is so hyped up to the point that they think that the Rockets will get out of the first round. Yeah you guys have a 19game win streak, cool. It will go down as one of the greatest in NBA history, but come playoffs time, its always something else with the Rockets. BottomlineRockets = First round exit
