As a push to get Houston Rockets to be a WP:FT, I am nominating this for FL. I have worked on it to meet, to the best of my knowledge, all criteria of WP:WIAFL.
Also, please note that this article is the first of its kind for the NBA, so I had nothing to base it on, and had to think of everything as I went along. Noble Story (talk • contributions) 07:49, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs) Nice job, especially for doing it without any model. You may want to add something about it to WP:NBAG.

Comment I can't find the 22 games winning streak. I think this worth mentioning in the list.—Chris! ct 23:48, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment from KV5
- I would really like to see some more expansion in the lead. I know it's baseball, not basketball, but you might get some ideas from List of Philadelphia Phillies team records and List of Nashville Sounds team records. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 00:05, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- OK, I've tried to add as much as I think is relevant. I've also finished adding the NBA records section. Hope it satisfies. Noble Story (talk • contributions) 14:15, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Above is completed. Additional comments:
- En-dash in "Best undefeated start (15–0)
- In the key, pipelink overtime (sports) like this: Overtime
- Lowest FG% - 23 out of 78 is a lower percentage than 26 out of 88. Also, it's unclear what (23–78) means. I thought that it meant 23 baskets and 78 misses, which is how I originally tried to do the math. Clarify.
Hope this helps. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 16:22, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- How to calculate field goal percentage is actually explained in Note A. But I've added an extra note to give an exaomple. And also fixed the other issues. Noble Story (talk • contributions) 06:38, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Make that lead image bigger, up to 300px is cool (I think) by the MOS.
- You don't mention franchise until the start of para 2 of the lead. For non-US readers this concept is a little unclear so perhaps mention it earlier (like when they moved cities perhaps?) and link suitably?
- Pehaps I've forgotten but typically numbers like 3200 are written with a comma separating the thousands, 3,200 say. Your numbers don't do this.
- Apostrophe question - lead has "Of the Rockets' current players...", Yao Ming's caption has "Yao Ming holds Rockets records..." aren't Rockets being used in the same way here? My grammar isn't top notch so perhaps that's nonsense.
- Looks right to me, in the first instance "Rockets" is being used as a possessive and in the second as an adjective. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:32, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- "Tracy McGrady made 6 of the ..." six?
- Per MOS:NUM, comparative quantities (6 out of 19 seasons) should be spelled the same. It's something that I've cracked down on ;) Dabomb87 (talk) 21:32, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- "The Rockets only scored 66..."... scored only, not only scored...
- Not sure why the list is categorised under "National Basketball Association templates"... possibly need a noinclude in the template? Not sure...
- Fixed last point—Chris! ct 18:47, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- I've fixed them all, I think. I just piped franchise to professional sports organization in the first sentence, so hopefully that will cover that issue. Noble Story (talk • contributions) 06:38, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
