No team in the NBA or any other professional league can sustain such a streak all the way to a championship. Anybody remember the Patriots?

College, maybe. Pros, no way!!
Unfortunately for the Rockets they don't have the luxury to just cruise into the playoffs with the way the West is.

Peaking too early is better than not making the playoffs at all.

I concur there as we have given up an average of 103 pts a games in Sheed's absence. Of course our 3 ball attempts are down too

Re: ..and the Rockets Red Glare

Current Rockets are designed for the regular season. Low turnovers and good defense can go a long way during the regular season in the West. Come playoffs, the Rockets will look very ordinary when facing the best every night. They'll need that real tall option, and he's not there.

The Rockets probably should have looked at Dale Davis and Olawakhandi as pickups as opposed to relying Mutombo

Wow, talk about disrespecting the Rockets. You guys remind me of the entire rest of the NBA in 2004 talking about the Pistons.

Sure, if Ben Wallace and Chauncey Billups weren't available in the 2004 playoffs.

Of course you're right. Right now, the Rockets would also love to have Duncan in the lineup, instead of Mutumbo for 17 minutes per game.

I predicted that they'd fall off as soon as Yao got hurt. When that didn't happen. Instead of admitting that I was wrong, I just started bashing their playoff chances. Now that it's 19 in a row, that does sound pretty impressive......
