Overrated

(ahem)(insert tongue in cheek)

I think the Lakers  would have won if  Gasol had played. Houston keeps knocking off their opponents because they make lucky shots and play a weaker schedule than every other team in their conference.   There are plenty of teams in the history of the NBA that could have won 22 in a row.  The Rockets don't have a chance in the playoffs.  They are "obviously" only the fifth or sixth best team in the West. 

(remove tongue from cheek)

I just wanted to go ahead and get that out of the way for all of the Rockets haters out there.   Does anyone still believe any of it?  One thing I hear from haters that still makes sense is that the Spurs are the team to beat, and I agree that they will be until someone takes them out in the post season.

I just don't think it makes sense NOT to include the Rockets as a serious title contender any more.  If they go 2-2 or better over the next 6 days, this team  demonstrates they are in it to win it..

Lakers are OVER RATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rockets are playing good ball wright now but it is tough seeing the just becoming the favorites coming out of the West.............Playoffs mean win 4 out of 7 not 1 team at a time and if the Rockets meet the Lakers or Spurs or Jazz in the playoff I don't see them winning 4 out of 7 against either one of these teams....(Give them props because like it or not their playing good ball).....

Well i would like to read your rationale.  While I understand the playoffs are different and they are still a month away.  Right now I give the Rockets the edge in any matchup.

So what give???
