4 years and only 2000 posts?

One can only say "No, the Rockets are not interested in trading for Eddy Curry" so many times without going (as the american psychological associaton refers to as) "Bat Sh*t Crazy"

How many of those 2000 posts involve Eddy Curry and the word no?

At least 4458 of them.

(my math may be a bit off...)

Rockets are now 4-4 at home and 7-4 away. The away record is the best in the West and 4th the whole league. How about that?

Ya just type some rocket related posts and pump it up .. see above

Instead of relating Rocket's schedule against teams in the West, it is more accurate to see them vs winning teams. Of the 19 games played by Rockets, 14 (6-8) of them were against winning teams (0.5 records or better) and Rockets won all 5 games vs teams with losing records. Rockets look very competitive to me.

And if you look at teams above rockets on current standing:

Laker 14-3. 17 games. Of which only 10 (8-2) games were against winning team. They lost one game to team with losing records.

Suns 14-5. 19 games. Only 9 (6-3) games were against winning team. They lost 2 games to team with losing records.

Nuggets 14-5. 19 games. Only 11 (8-3) games were against winning team. They lost 2 games to teams with losing records.

Blazers 12-8. 20 games. Only 10 (4-6) games were against winning teams. They lost 2 games to teams with losing records.

Jazz 10-7. 17 games. Only 9 (3-6) games were against winning teams. They lost 1 game to teams with losing records.

Spurs 9-7. 16 games. Only 9 (5-4) games were against winning teams. They lost 3 games to teams with losing records.

I see Lakers, Nuggets are the 1st tier. Suns' position is a bit inflated due to their soft schedule and Rockets have chance to catch up. If Rockets win 40-50% share of their games vs winning teams and will 90-10% of their game vs team with losing records, they will be in the playoff.

I've made it this long here without resorting to post padding.

[Mr. E]

And i'm not starting now.

Seriously.

Amazing closeouts to the last two games. Absolutely locked down the Clippers in the last game for nearly the entire fourth, while we fought back from a game that seemed dead against the Warriors. Battier was awesome defensively, Landry continued his thing, and Brooks, aside from what were the game-winning FT's, was able to keep us in the game during that third quarter where the Warriors could have EASILY blown it open.

That was the most important part, with Morrow, and Vlad knocking down what seemed like every three, Brooks had an answer each time. Good game, finally a decent winning streak, need to keep it going.

Mr E seem like you are taking a drink for every post and the posts are getting shorter and shorter!




(writing random posts about other posters is another good way of post padding )

Guys, post padding is bad.
