You say lets be honest and already assumed we made it past the first round. Aint no lets be honest bih.
Hmm what if we drop down to the 8th seed. Or what if we a complete meltdown and don't make the playoffs. Some of you that complain about fans complaining after lose might not want to visit the GARM. Going to be unbearable. Lol
Only team I think the Rockets will definitely beat is the Mavs and maybe the Blazers since they don't have Matthews.
I understand why all the doom and gloom has been going on here the last few days, but honestly lets put it all in perspective. We just played 2 very big teams and got out rebounded by 20 in both games. All while only playing pfs that have rebounding issues. Get dwight back in there (even if his offense is terrible) and you will never face that kind of rebounding disparity again. Same thing goes for defense, he can cover up a lot of weaknesses. I know the last 6 or so games have been terrible to watch, but come on, if dwight had missed this many games I would have expected us to be a 7 seed right now. We are holding up just fine under the circumstances, let's just have everyone pray that dwight returns and dominates the glass and defensive end.
Great post. I would like to add just one thing: It seems like players have been overperforming to cover for Dwight's absence which is clearly more important than most of us thought. But you can't expect 110% effort to be sustainable and what we are seeing now are the consequences.
People only reference Dwight's post offense when they talk about bad offense. Number of successful baskets made after dumping to Dwight on a post up, factoring in turnovers and missed shots, would be a lot lower than 58% I'd imagine. Dwight finishing on Harden or Smith fed lobs is why some people prefer having DeAndre Jordan and an extra $10M in salary.
Very good post. Remember this is the place where people said we were better off without D12...can you imagine any Rockets' fan saying that? When you understand that (they believe we are better without D12) then it is easy to understand much of the other rubbish that is posted.
