    I can't believe it. Earlier this season, the Rockets were battling the Jazz for the 2nd spot in the mid west division and Ming just broke out of his shell. There was nothing but up for this team. However, the Rockets are in a serious slump. Now, the Warriors are vying for a playoff spot and the Suns look comfortable.

    We need a spark! Theres 23 games left!! We need to win like 60-80% of them to ensure a playoff spot (pending on the warriors and Suns).

    Also, theres no 1st round pick for the Rox. So the lottery status is worthless. Its a no win situation if we don't make the playoffs.

    We still got a good chance to make the playoffs and honestly I don't want anymore lottery picks, we don't really need anymore young guys unless his name is King James, which is 99% not going to happen.

    Golden State is about to beat Indiana so they'll be tied with the Rockets. The Sonics are also on a roll. They've won 5 in a row after beating Minny tonight. They're only a game behind the Rockets. We could be 11th in the west by the end of the week.

    Geez, it seems like every team competing for the 8th playoff spot is playing well except the Rockets.

    Rudy still coaching this Rockets team? Rockets are screwed for this season. Maybe when Francis and Cat mature at age 34 or so he'll have those guysplay under control and in the system.

    Who would have thought that the Warriors and Rockets would have the same record at this time of the year?

    Teams should start to complain about the losses to the Rockets because Rockets is not much better than Grizzlies and Clippers.

    Hehe, pretty soon post game interviews with opposing teams will read "No disrespect to the Rockets players, but this is a game you have to win."

    Well, guess what....tied for 9th. 10th place is a one game difference and 11th place is ours. Unless the Clips go on a tear, I think we are stuck at #11.

    There is always hope. Penny could be back soon to screw up the Suns.
