Do you think that the Rockets will make the playoffs

Oh forgot to mention that I think Dallas is also a bubble team. They may have started off hot, but are slowly being reeled in by the other bubble teams.

It'll be a close finish, but I predict that the Rockets will finish just out of the playoffs.

REASON: Not enough frontcourt strength, particularly at the 3, and lack of consistency.

I think it will come down to Houston, Minnasota, and Seattle for that final spot. I'm not to sure about Seattle though, I think they may fall out of it come April. The Nuggets are playing suprisingly decent ball, and if they keep it up they may also be in the race.

The Mavs arent a lock yet...they're hot now, but could go cold any day now. Plus, they dont have a very good defense.

Ha! I knew one of the Nugget fans would respond to my bashing of their team.

the nuggets suck...i know, i know!

 

Yes. We'll get through January around the .500 mark and make a huge run in February and March, when everyone is healthy and the schedule is easy. I still hold to my 7 seed prediction. We WILL get in.

Well, you all know my take. At the beginning of the season I predicted that the Rockets would hover at or below .500 most of the season and not make the playoffs (9th or 10th in the West). The first part regarding their winning percentage has been pretty right so far. I'm going to stick to the second part and say, no they will not make the playoffs this year. Surprise!

I know it can get complicated counting when you pass 3, but the Rockets do have a lot of back-to-backs, but not 5 - they NBA scheduling team had mercy uppon the Rocks and stopped after 4 - giving they one night of before they go back out the first of february.

And slip into 8 - Nah, let them stay at 7, or even climb to 6.

the mavericks will not make the playoffs. i dont recall them having any big wins over la, sac, port, or pheo. they cant beat us. they have not had a hard schedule. we have. we are just as good and have just as much potential as they do. look at our schedule, the easiest games are yet to come, weve had a rough start because of our rough schedule. every time i hear props given to the mavs i want to throw up all over my face while lying on my back. they have not proven anything to me yet. oh yeah they beat utah...well thats what we are going to do tommarrow...... meow.
