    I certainly don't want the Rockets to lose to the Bucks. If we show up, we should win. Nevertheless, I believe that the Greek freak is a hard match up ,along with good shooters on a back to back game. I think we will be able to score, but it will be hard to stop them.

    The more we win now, the better prepared we will be for the playoffs.

    Did they even give Wright a physical; waste of roster spot so far?

    The bucks rank 25th in the league in three point shooting percentage, and they are also 25th in the league in attempts.. so they don't take alot either.. they are also 23rd in three point percent allowed, so they are in the lower tier..

    the weird thing I found was rockets are twentieth in three pointers allowed, which I found surprising for the team that is ranked first.. You would think if the rockets took 50 shots, other team would at-least if not match them try to get in a shoot out with us.. But I also believe the rox know the value of the three pointer and discourage teams from taking many with all of elite wing defenders...

    Playoff intensity in March = tired legs in actual playoffs
    Injuries in March = DNPs in playoffs

    You know, there's a reason Pop is willing to sacrifice some regular season games to minimize the wear on his players. He knows the season is too long and that trying to hard to win the meaningless games can cost you when you try to win the meaningful ones at the end. It's true HCA against the Warriors is at stake, and that's worth something. But how much risk should you really take to get it?

    when will this tired legs stuff just stop. a game in march has everything to do with what happens in june smh. its like people have that ready in the bag to use as excuse for almost any loss.

    i guess pop's sacrifice ended up costing him a pretty big blow to his best player KL

    If we shoot like we did last night, nobody is beating us. I expect them to cool off a bit tonight, but still win with ease.

    Rockets 108
    Bucks 101

    Bullard just said on 790am, "Joe Johnson has been playing so many minutes to regain game-shape".

    This was known pre trade, so, MDA is accommodating Joe.

    I was a little concerned that the all-star break would kill our momentum. That was a while ago. I was very wrong. Just boring win after boring win. Go Rockets!
