Dash Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) Portland has had injuries to key players (Fernandez, Batum, etc) throughout the season and lost Greg Oden and Pryzbilla for the season. In the past week they have most notably beaten the Lakers and Magic. They are currently 25-16. Houston has lost their franchise, Yao Ming, for the season, Tracy McGrady due to drama, and Ron Artest via free agency. Houston has no stars and held the NBA's hardest schedule (according to ESPN) up to this point in the season. Houston is currently 22-8, holding onto the 8th seed.

B-Marsh>R-Moss Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) For me, It's the Blazers. But losing THE BEST PLAYER ON THE ROCKETS BY A LONG SHOT Yao Ming is devastating. Losing Tmac is meh, if anything that makes the Rockets better. Edited January 16, 2010 by B-Marsh>R-Moss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regime Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Rockets are a bigger suprise, atleast the Blazers still have Roy. The Rockets are basically working with a bunch of role players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redneck Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Definately the Rockets. they lost Yao, T-Mac and Artest. I didn't think they'd win 20 games all year long, but they have a great hodgepodge of talent and are getting things done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren2ThaG Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Blazers, Rockets proved in the playoffs last year that they can do some damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vitasoy Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Blazers. Their players keep going down, but they keep winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland's Finest Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Last year, Houston's three best players entering the season were Tmac, Artest, and Ming, and it was supposed to be the new Big Three. All of them haven't played this year unless you consider Tmac's few minutes, and by losing that much and gaining only Ariza, that's impressive. Portland has had injuries, but as long as Roy and Aldridge are fine, they should be fine making the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ray 10- Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 The Rockets. They lose Yao but they still play with their hearts out. They also gave us a scare last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
