orionpax Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 looks like the Rockets are losing "fuel" down the stretch Quote Link to comment
Eddy Syet Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 they have to win the remaining games versus sub-.500 teams in their schedule... Quote Link to comment
rafer_alston Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I think that the Rockets must win even more to stay in the playoffs, DENVER and GOLDEN STATE are making a final push for their playoff berth.. kasi as of today.. Houston is 47-23 GOLDEN STATE is 43-26 DENVER is 42-28 so, if Houston goes on a 4 or 5 game losing skid, they could be out of the playoffs which can be a big reality.. Quote Link to comment
FF Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 here's a lift from espn .com Gary (Dallas, Tx): J.A., I can't seem to figure Tracy McGrady out. One moment I think he's an amazing talent who's leading his team then the next moment, I see him coast on defense, and that's being generous. Is his body betraying him or does he lack the heart? J.A. Adande: I think the heart can overcome the other parts of the body. That's what we've seen from the truly great. McGrady deserved to get the accolades for what he did for his team during the streak. But it was alarming the way he went out in the Rockets' two losses this week, seemingly unwilling or unable to take his team to victory in crunch time. We've seen him take over before. But what separates the truly great from the rest is the ability to do it on a consistent basis. Quote Link to comment
mark_pogi Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 olats agen! number 5 sa west!from being number 1 for a few days sana naman mapasama sila sa play-offs. sayang yung 22-game winning streak nila. :hypocritesmiley: Quote Link to comment
the_joker Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Sure na yang rockets sa playoffs... Ang delikado yung dallas, humahabol ang denver... 1 game away na lang yata ang denver sa dallas at warriors... Quote Link to comment

Eddy Syet Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 T-Mac... he lacks the "WILL to WIN" of NBA greats like Jordan, Duncan, or Shaq. Yung bang parang sa utak o isip pa lang niya parang di talaga siya papayag na matalo sila basta-basta. Yung palaban.. Yung parang T-Mac na umiskor ng 13 pts in a span of a little more than 30 secs left in the game para talunin ang Spurs. Yung ganun! Problem is he's not doing that every single damn game! It should come out of him 100 times in a season! Quote Link to comment

_eRon_ Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 rockets with a win in sacramento are 3rd in the west, 48-23..go rockets!! Quote Link to comment

Eddy Syet Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 ^ They should get at least 6 more wins. Anyway, a 50-win season is an outstanding achievement with the premature vacation of Yao Ming. :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
bikerider Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 another crazy day sa west. houston dropped from 2nd place to 5th place. Di pa sila naglaro ngayon. must win vs the spurs. otherwise, things might end up as they are now. Utah vs Houston in the first round (Part 2) Quote Link to comment
bikerider Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 this thread kinda gone quiet. houston has game against portland today. must start winning again. they can't be inconsistent this late in the season. fortunately they still have a cushion to make the playoffs. however, first 4 seeds are SA, NO, LAL, UTAH kaya hirap din no matter who they face.

Eddy Syet Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Nice win over Blazers! T-Mac scores 35 pts. Quote Link to comment
silver41surfer Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Inconsistent coming to play offs...not a good sign..2 game losing streak followed by a win..hopefully they will win their next road assignmentss para maka pasok sa top 4... Quote Link to comment
SPO1 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 i hope they could play more defense come play off time. Quote Link to comment
paranoid9 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 i dont think they can make it pass first round. im a rockets fan, pero injured c YAOman and i don't think they can in with their 'small' line-up... not this year! Quote Link to comment
bikerider Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 rockets clinch playoff berth. most likely they'll be seeded 5 or 6. hoping they get past the first round. Quote Link to comment
benjied Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 i don't they can finish worst than 6th seed in the WEST. Quote Link to comment
dallas316 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 ^ worst is an early exit in 1st round hihi Quote Link to comment
benjied Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 ^ worst is an early exit in 1st round hihi Actually that is already expected. So it's a normal scenarioBest case would be to advance to the 2nd round Quote Link to comment
kodyang Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Let's give TMac another chance to show he's got enough 1st round exits to hustle and be more aggressive to carry the rockets over to the 2nd round. From there, I don't mind what happens.hehe Quote Link to comment
