Fans. All this talk about, "I only think the Hornets and Lakers are in our way" is a bunch of wishful thinking. The Rockets are the #8 seed right now for a reason. Unless Tracy can find a witch doctor for his knee like he did for his back, the Rockets aren't a contender. They play better as a team without him but there isn't enough talent to do damage in the playoffs. And let me repeat something: Even if everyone is "healthy" for the playoffs, if they don't get 30-35 games together to work out the bugs and develop true cohesion, the Rockets will be first round roadkill again. It's predictable.

There are 30 games after the All-Star break. If the roster isn't intact and fully healthy by then, stick a fork in this team's hopes to make the Finals.

Hate say it, but I think your right.

I don't really know about that. We saw that without a closer or a strong wing defender because of battier's injuries, we can hang with the best team in the league. Get T-mac healthy and ron out there stopping kobe for stretches and we can make a run at it. I trust t-mac. People got at him for not being there in the 4th quarter of the playoffs. But how would any all-star feel about being the "only" offensive threat in the 'playoffs' where defense wins ball games. They played t-mac straight up extremely hard and he was still dropping 30-40 points while injured. If they had a 2nd option or 3rd option like this year, teams can't afford to double him in the playoffs.

I don't think this team is down and out yet. my guess is we still land a top 3 seed.
