    If you can't beat the 8 seed at home, you are not going to be making the playoffs......unless there are changes made...

    Portland is a good team because they can control the paint. period.

    Portland is a good team because they didn't turn the ball over 16 times.

    A number 8 seed that was on the second night of a road back to back with Lamarcus Aldridge playing 44 minutes and Marcus Camby playing 39 minutes the previous night.

    Portland should be our equal, at worst. They beat us to a pulp in Portland and beat us here with our top player going for 45 and rallying from 13 down in the 4th.

    What team do you think we can beat out for a playoff spot? Unless Denver trades Melo away and rebuilds, it will become more and more difficult.

    And a coaching staff that so undervalues defense that it leaves it's most experienced healthy post defender out of the game in Jared Jeffries.

    tonight was a disappointment.

    yes they're good but they are better at imposing their will.

    and the rockets have been playing like pu**ies. not happy.

    ....no moral victory here. We cant keep blowing leads and expect to win against any team who has a solid big man. This team dissapointed me very much today. Im not going to give up on them, but the fact that you blow a 13 point lead that fast, and dont score for 9 minutes is unacceptable. This isn't college ball, if you dont score, the other team will. I hope we win our next games, they are showing our chances as being any sort of contenders. As of now, like some1 said earlier, we cant beat the 8th seed team.

    Jeffries was active today, he could have played.

    Portland and the Houston have almost the same records home vs away, Portland isn't very good, they are a bad road team. The problem is that the Rockets don't have anyone who can guard Aldridge at the moment, who isn't going to have a good game under that scenario.

    How the hell is Friday a guaranteed win? If we can't beat a good team, how are we supposed to beat an even better one which happens to have Dwight Howard??
