You automatically assume you can beat Utah? Utah is better than last year, and even last year when you were better, we beat you in 7 without HCA. Tmac and Yao were both healthy. What's the excuse?

Every season you guys think T-Mac and Yao are magically going to learn how to win playoff series...never happens.

No excuses , we didn't play well enough and we had no bench , you won so you are the better team.
We are a better team this year , we had a better record last year but this team has depth and a lot of things we didn't have last year.
We are not assuming we gonna beat you guys but we 100% believe a series between us and the Jazz again will go down to the wire again and that we have a very very good chance of taking it.

So...what are you doing trolling and then BASHING another team in their forum? You think maybe there's a good reason there's a healthy antipathy for Jazz fans on this board (not just by us Rockets fans)?

If you are talking to me, I'm talking as a fan. You are also talking as a fan and I respect your opinion. I am still going with what I said though. Thanks for your opinion.

That was T-Mac's first year back from a LONG time on the bench due to his back. That was his worse postseason showing ever.... Yao had JUST came off an injury and wasn't 100%. The role players didn't do jack ****..

If we run into you again this season we will EMBARRASS you.

Get out of here if your going to bash this board. The Jazz also play in the easiest division in the west, if your wondering why there in 4th place. The posters above me have explained themselves perfectly, no need for me to add to this.

how about some woerds ofw isdom from the baordes wiseman. ive been drinking so beera wiht me.

in order ton win a champion you have tohave things works oujt well. if te rockets get hot and healthy goking into the palyoffs theres no teling what they can do. we can beat anytean in the league wtih theh talent we have. the only teamn we ahve ahd trouble with is the amvs and 2 of thsoe lossses were because of diaretic brainfarsts on the part of idleman. its on the big 2 though. theyh need to get playing well together go get teh restr of the team going. i think we can maybe carry a 7 or 8 game winning streek winto the plyaoffs and really do something.

doesnt anyone rember the 01 lakers.they were the best eam n the league but not sso much better than shouldave gona sweeping cats. tehay got movtaited and caught fire at the perfecdt time and the nba had no chance.

Hopefully they have turned the corner and will play like a top 5 team in the NBA the rest of the regular season and into the playoffs. At this point, after years of disappointment, I would be happy just to see them get past the 1st round.

Are you talking about championship when you are out of playoffs right now? The eight first seeded teams are better teams than Rockets. Anyway you are not a potentially contender with T-Mac being swept out in the first round...

Dreaming is free, but T-Mac is going to be injured soon.

The Lakers can also "Dream" about a championship. Everyone "dreams" of a championship. If you are going into the forum to harass my belief of what I think the Rockets can do, I think you should think again. I don't go to the Lakers board saying, the Lakers won't win a championship team and their record is a fluke. I think if you are going to come into our forums, at least have the decency to respect the team.

As long as the Rockets make the playoffs they can win the title. They have two top 10 players on the team (Yao and Mcgrady), Defensive Stopper in Battier, good 3rd option in Bonzi and a 4th option in Mike James.
Their isn't a team that they can't beat in a series in my opinion. Phoenix was the worst matchup for them before the Shaq trade but now I think they match up quite well with them. As long as Hayes is not starting at PF and Scola is, the Rockets can go all the way.

Hey douche, we're a better team than our record says. Again you're an idiot if you think Rockets are worst than all the first seeded teams. We have the best record in january february.

Jazz are a better team than last year. I agree. Deron and Booze has improved alot. So I don't know if the Rockets could beat them.

We'll need all our players to play a perfect game in a 7 game stretch if we want to have a chance of winning because teams like Utah would play a near perfect game during the playoffs.
