    At least for today. Let's enjoy it while we can. :rolleyes:

    Although strangely, I have a good feeling about tonight's game. Anyone else have a premonition?

    I do! We lose 145-115. Can't win playing defense like they do. Unless they are playing the Lakers.

    I've been hearing this calm down rhetoric since we started 0-4 with 4 blowout losses.

    Will you make this thread when we become the 9th seed?

    If the Rockets lose tonight to Portland, they're in 9th place heading into the All-Star Break. Blow it up, Morey.

    That would be deja vu, wondering who we will draft at 14.

    Calm down. So, we'll be in 9th place, but only 1/2 game out of the playoff picture. We'll be fine. None of the lower seeds will want to play us.

    if they play with the same intensity they played with last night we can definitely win.

    [Calm Down]: Our pick is top 14 protected anyway

    Realistically I think Memphis will drop to 9th with Gasol out. Win/loss tonight is probably the difference between 7/8 seed.

    just trying to avoid the mass die-offs of true fans that occurred the first time around when folks didn't stay calm. ;)

    Grizzles have a super easy schedule, hard to see them dropping out.

    Calm down, if this was a football season, we would be 5-5 after 10 games. We could finish 10-6 and take a bye from wildcard round. :grin:

    And nobody would want to play against us in the playoffs. ;)

    Clippers without Griffin
    Grizzlies without Gasol

    What will be the Rockets excuse when we still don't catch them?
