Since Houston just took a major hit, the previous poll may well not be accurate any longer. For that reason, I'm starting a revised one.
 
I still think that Denver's schedule works against them:
13 road games including at Houston, at Detroit, at Phoenix, at Utah
5 Game East Coast Trip in Mid March
 
I believe the Houston Rockets will make the playoffs instead of the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets should have made the trade for Ron Artest to really secure a playoff spot. The Rockets have enough to make it, but will not go deep into the playoffs without Yao.
 
Is a new poll necessary? If we care about prediction bragging rights, then the injury-susceptibility of a team should be considered accounted for (and Yao and Tmac are made of glass). If we don't care about prediction bragging rights, then nobody cares who voted what.
 
Not only will Houston make the playoffs, buy they will win a first round series. Rick is that good.**

**This prediction is contingent on the Rockets matching up vs. the Hornets or Jazz in the 1st round. Any series vs. Spurs, Lakers, Suns, or Mavs makes the previous statement null and void.
 
It's gotta be Houston ..... with all the talent that the Nuggets have, there's no way they should miss the playoffs. If they do someone needs to be released and fired.
