Harden tonight with 33 points on only 12 FG attempts. 17/18 free throws.

Lin 18 points, 6[..]ists on 66% shooting.

Asik double double.

Morris 5/8 with 14 points.

Douglas with 17 points in the 4th quarter. 5 three's!!!!!!

Only one who played like !! was Parsons. But he's a great player, he'll bounce back.

i called it from the beginning, 7th or 8th seed at best

problem is we beast against the east but can't finish games versus the west our own conference

we have a bright future but as far as makin a run, the only way that happens is if Morey makes a huge trade before the deadline but its most likely a first round exit wit this team

remember we are the youngest team in the league, we have alot to learn

idk man cant see it unless you guys get a better bench and lin starts being consistent [pic]

if the rockets make the playoffs they will finish with a low seed

they will have to play MEM, SAS, OKC or LAC [pic]

It depends on our bench and Lin mainly. I'm not worried about Harden if he has a bad shooting night he can still get to the line. But if Lin can keep playing well then we'll be good.

Might be a first round exit depending on who we play. I think the Rockets can get a higher seed. Maybe 5th or 6th if we get a good streak going.

Asik needs to keep doing his thing too and drain those free throws.

Still early in the season so too early to tell about the seeds. But Rockets can make it to 5th or 6th imho. If we end up playing someone like GSW we can beat them.

I think we could take any team in the west as long as everyone plays well. We're getting better and better every game.

making it to the 2nd round isnt a "run"

For a team who hasn't made the playoffs in a few years it is [pic]

still alot of basketball to be played, i believe we can improve like we have been but remember Memphis being a number 8 seed beatin the Spurs

like i said, we have a bright future and could easily be a scare to anyone in the west in a 7 game series

Yep. Upsets happen all the time.

We just took the Spurs to over time with Harden injured when Lin dropped 38. Our team is deep, just slept on.

I want to believe so bad [pic]

Just don't want that feeling of failure when we can't crack the 8th seed [pic]

Although we are the youngest I see bright spots in Patterson and Parsons and even Morris at times...

Of course Harden
and Lin looks to be improving...

I really do like this team this year. But I wish we could have kept Lowry.

We have a good bench. Douglas has been playing great, so has Morris. Delfino's a great shooter and Greg Smith has been playing great.

But yeah Lin needs to keep playing well. That's the key.

Not trying to sound sour, but we will get swept or win one game at most if we make the playoffs. Then we are right back at drafting mid first round unless Morey pulls off another trade hopefully for al jefferson or josh smith.

Well last year we barely missed the playoffs. We were +.500. And I definitely think we're better this year with Harden.

If we had Lowry and Harden though [pic]

But Lin is growing on me. Parsons can be a beast, I'm not worried about him as much. Just wish he would drive more, he seems to settle for a lot of 3's. Same for Patterson, he needs to stop taking so many 3's. That's not his range.

Yeah now y'all got me wondering if Morey has anything up his sleeve before the trade deadline [pic]

Part of me thinks he'll just wait for free agency
