Houston rockets 22 win streak anyone? I forgot what year that was. Natalo sa first round yun diba? Thats what id call a regular season fodder. XD
Are you talking about 2007 to 2008 rockets? Let's make a fair statement, Yao Ming was injured. Also the rockets were the 5th seed that time. You take any star player out of your team, especially in the playoffs, goodbye ka. Especially sa matchups versus some teams.
Look what is happening right now to the rockets, They don't have Beverly and Dmo, both starters and they are really having matchup problems versus GSW. I'm not taking anything away from GSW, but this year talaga buenas sila. They have no injuries whatsoever. You take out either Klay, bogut or Green throughout the playoffs starting sa Round 1, Kahit isa lang sa kanila, I don't think they will last, especially against Memphis. Curry is having a field day against grandpas Prigioni and Terry right now.
Buenas talaga sila, biggest injury for them is Bogut, who is under the weather for game 2 ata against rockets. Ano yan sipon? lol..I'm not cursing golden state for injury, but talaga buenas sila since start of the season. Biggest injury I think was Klay injuring his ankle and missed 5 games in the regular season.
Also the teams they play against or will meet sa playoffs always have the injuries, namely Memphis with Conley and Allen. Rockets with Beverly and Dmo. Against the east, Kung against the cavs wala si Love and Irving (not sure pa), sa Hawks naman wala si Korver, Caroll may not be 100 percent. Against a excellent team like golden state you really need everybody.
From wiki
The 2007-08 Houston Rockets season was their 41st season in the National Basketball Association and 37th in Houston. The Rockets won at least 50 games for the second straight season and made the playoffs also on the back of a 22-game winning streak, the third longest in the history of the NBA. The Houston Rockets came into the 2007-2008 playoffs without Yao Ming, who was still injured. This injury contributed to the Rockets' elimination by the Utah Jazz in the first round (2-4).[1]
