I'd worry Lowry would average 35 against us in a series. Sorry didn't mean to jump ahead and assume Rockets would make the Finals but after yesterday's game it looked like it could be a preview. It would make an entertaining series with Dwight and Irving back.

you think too far ahead
i'm worrying us getting out the first round first
final is the least thing i'm worry in the playoff
if we can get out of the west then i'm not worrying who is waiting in the east
to me warriors, grizzlies, blazers are better than cavs, hawks, raptors, bulls

Yeah no one really cares if you win your conference though. Most only care if you win the title.
Was just asking who would we match up best against. I'm not assuming anything as far as the Rockets go.

lowry isnt gonna average even 20ppg in the playoffs. i dunno what happened to him but he's fell the **** off.

they were supposed to fall off in the standings w/o dwight yet they're still the 3rd seed. i've never been this confident before in the rockets since artest got here. t they can get to that level by the end of the season or mid first round if they keep the 3rd seed

His averages are nearly identical to last season. His 3 point percentage has fallen 6% though. He has been hurt lately and they rested him last game. He's still a top 5 PG

have u seen him since january? he's been on a steady decline. highly unlikely he flips a switch in march, the toughest month in nba. raptors are just a good team, nothing more. only team in the east playoff seeding to give up 100ppg. they wont be able to stop the rockets offense esp with dwight.

I don't know why you guys are worried about the NBA Finals.

I'm worried about Atlanta and Memphis back-to-back this week!

Yep. Then a b2b against detroit and @denver, followed by yet another b2b against @portland and @utah.


The schedule only gets tougher.

that marks the first game of a brutal 4 in 5. best record in the east and 2nd best in the west. could get ugly. ends at denver but they're on a b2b too. maybe now that the rockets are new and better team they can actually defend the hawks.

Rockets owe the Hawks one too. I think Houston will be ready to play.

No doubt it's a tough stretch of games.

Well we are basically a lock to make the playoffs. 23 games left in the regular season. Even if we lose 12 of them we end up with 52 wins. I don't think seeding really matters. I mean we had home court last year and that didn't help us.

I'm not "worried" about the Finals so much as just curious who the league and fans would be rooting for to make it there.

i'm more worrying nba suspending harden for the kick
you can tell from the video lebron shove harden first and then harden raise his leg
pretty obvious lebron flop on that
but you don't know what nba will do this days

Return to Houston Rockets
