Playin' like they should.

Pretty much in the third tier of teams in the West as far as contenders.

Lakers by far.....then the Hornets and Spurs....then a bunch of teams that will make the playoffs and not matter.

I got to disagree there. When healthy, I would put them up with the Hornets and Spurs in a heartbeat.

Rockets are doing exactly what they were expected to do. No team featuring T-Mac in its core will ever win a championship, let alone get out of the first round.


Their record last year was inflated due to that fluky bullshite 22 game win streak. 21-15 is right around where they should be. They were 20-16 or so at this point last year.

It's Spurs and Mavs after the Lakers. Hornets aren't good.

On average, how many times a day do you use the word "fluky"?

Ghazi, the Rockets do indeed suck. I fully expect the Spurs, Hornets, and Mavs to finish above them in the SW. Not in that order per se, but the Rockets will be the choke team of the division.

according to what I've read it is internal strife that is at the crux of the problem and I think McGrady is the source. Artest should probably kick his arse

.667 win percentage isn't good? Good to know. Hornets aren't great would be more accurate

Hornets winning percentage is a paper tiger. They should be 18-12 right now if not for fluky shots.

I'm not even a Hornets fan and I think your arguments suck.
