    OK, losing one game is close to nothing. It happens. You can't win them all and so on (what's worse is winning the last game of the season and it costs you big time in the draft - we've been there and done that. thanks, Jeff!). Losing two in a row isn't that big a deal, either. Same reason. It happens. Losing three games in a row? I'll start to get concerned. Don't make me concerned, Rockets. Win the damn game.

    The most concerning part about a 3 game losing streak in this context would be that the third loss would be to a terrible team.

    Too bad, the Nets should be riding the L. The only chance they have is if Lin plays.

    Yea. After dropping two this is basically a must win. Not because we will miss the playoffs, but because we need the psychological boost. To lose three in a row with one being the nets and one being the wolves will erode confidence.

    Need to win, but I'm worried about Lopez. Didn't we struggle with him earlier this season? We need clint back and another big guy willing to only play occasionally (a second nene)

    No kidding. That definitely makes it worse if we lose. So we better win!

    Can't ask for a better opponent during a 2-game losing streak than the 8-31 Nets. Followed by the 11-30 Heat.

    The Nets are scrappy. Don't let them hang around and we should be good. Pretty much a must-win game given how tough our upcoming schedule is.

    Clint had a lot of problems defending Lopez.

    Lopez is one of those super big brutes that not only underlist their weight but height.

    Man Lopez ate us alive last time. Nene is going to have to bring his game because he's the only guy on the roster who might be able to make it tough on Lopez.
