    If we lost this game, we might blow the 3 seed.

    No. The upcoming homestand and the games in April will determine that. I wasn't expecting better than a split on this 2-game road trip to be honest.

    The Nuggets have been playing well as of late and it does not look good going in but I am hopeful the team can bounce back. Still need a SF off the bench. Dekker has hit the wall since this is his first full season. The Rockets should see what Troy Williams can do and call him up from the RGV.

    I guess we have a small lead on Utah.

    Ryno should have a big game tonight. No worries about this one.

    Can't take the West for granted. Although if a 4-seed means we draw Golden State instead of the Spurs in round 2 I'm all for it...

    Of course, sliding from 3 to 4 could indicate bigger problems, so...

    Nuggets are going to be playing all out the next couple games against us since they are trying to secure that 8th seed. It'll likely be play-off type games, hopefully the teams are ready unlike last game.

    If we lose any more games, we're practically handing WB the MVP and possibly even lose the 3rd seed.

    Maybe it's just me, but I never feel like it's going to be an easy win. I always get nervous about the games no matter who we play because I don't know if our guys will be hot or cold from behind the arc. Even when we play teams with losing records we can lose if our 3pt shooters are off because we only have a couple good players on defense. I hope we are hot tonight and set a new 3pt record. Eric and Dekker are long overdue for some 3pt madness. Ryno, Harden, Beverley and Lou might get hot tonight as well. Go Rockets!!!!! Turn those Nuggets into dust.

    Rockets win...even though we're dealing with the B2B and the altitude....It's a trap game in our favor...I believe Gallo is out...style/match ups favor us...besides we're a much better team. (watch CC tonight)I expect us to step up in a big way.

    Stoked. We have to win. Back to back away game in Denver is one of the hardest wins, but we can do this.

    Wifey is making corned beef & cabbage and POH-TAY-TOES!! Got some mates coming over to watch the game and there will be Irish car bombs in order.

    We're doing our part, Rockets; deliver us a win!!!

    This is a team not to be slept on. Beat the Warriors without Gallo and Wilson.

    In before Jameer Nelson puts up 30 by hitting every 3 he shoots.

    Quite a sturdy starting line up for the Nugs
