True, i just saw a no Gordon, Deng, Hinrich Chicago bulls team beat GS.

Smart move by GS by getting an addition to their lineup in an aging fat Chris Webber. Is it there secret weapon? It seems like he's been hanging around charles barkley during his offseason, and feeded himself donuts. He looks plump and fat and can't play with the Golden State offense. But we'll give him more time to mess up GS playoff hopes.

Same goes to Suns. O'Neal is NOT going to help them unless he gets his speed back. And they're going to lose quite some games before fatty shaq is able to be fit enough to come to the lineup.

We are still 9th, GS has the tie-breaker with us. It's really only a matter of time though.

i dont kno. we've had a pretty easy schedule, aside from new orleans, boston, san antonio, and utah.

The nice thing about that Webber signing is that since they pulled him in as a FA, the worst he can do is ride their bench if he doesn't work out quickly enough/at all. It's not like they gave up a piece to put him on their roster.

Have trouble agreeing... How bout @Orl? How bout @Por? How bout vGS? How bout vCle? You named 4 teams, I named 4 - all (besides Portland) are in the playoffs...

Great. Our team is at its best right now. Yao is good, Tracy is good, offense is pretty good, so is defense. But first of we are winnin'.

We are in the game baby

We are tied with 2 other teams and if Denver loses then we could be 7th and tied with 3 other teams.

Rockets got 8th now

Texas Longhorns · Post #15 » by **Texas Longhorns** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 11:39 am

Nope, still not eighth because Golden State won last night meaning they are 8th *officially* since they have the same record and the tiebreaker goes to them because they have beat us 2/3 times this season.

^^^ That's because the Sacramento Queens suck. That weird skinny dorky looking guy, Martin, Martian or whatever his name is, is such an inconsistent player.

Last year we were 32-18 at this point, thats scary, because last year we were in the first 6 places in the west.

Not a bad coaching job for Adelman, consider this is his 1st year with the Rockets. I thought the Rockets would suck, when Tmac went down. It's been a miracle for the Rockets this season.

A lot of credit to Adelman and the scouting staff; Scola, Brooks, Landry have been tremendous.

Especially Landry. He's been a legitimate option for the team.

Also consider at this point last season Yao was out with his knee injury and we still ended up with 52 wins. If we stay healthy (always a big if...) securing home court (or possibly even winning our division) isn't out of the question as our record with both T-Mac and Yao in are off the charts.
