    I think they've proven my point. They have no energy or intensity, and they are not looking like a playoff team. How do you trail a Clipper team with their star out, at HOME? This is embarassing. It should be an easy win, but they are playing in loser-mode tonight. They need this game, and they are throwing it away. Much like their passing.

    I think they will still win the game, but the fact that they are struggling to beat them, really bothers me. If they are having a hard time beating the Odom-less Clippers at home, how can they expect to be able to beat Phoenix on the road. Hakeems injury is not a good enough excuse. Although he would have been usefull during the second quarter. I believe the Clippers scored on 6 straight possessions, with 6 layups and six offensive boards. Terrible.

    I'll hold with my original prediction

    rockets - 102
    clips - 92

    Look, the Clips are dangerous. Young, fast, and reckless. Can run you out of the gym. We're on a back-to-back and have to remember not to play down to a less-than-stellar team. If we lose, I'll be pissed. But we'll win. (Fingers crossed.)

    How did we manage to destroy the 76'ers? One game does not a season make... 2 games does not a season make... etc, etc. Get into the playoffs and worry about it then.

    I think the point is that if we keep playing like this, the playoffs will not have the Rockets as participants.

    Rocketman, I really appreciate you backing me up on a few of my points. Most really don't care what I have to say, so its nice to have someone agreeing with me for a change. Its not like I'm happy about this likely two year playoff drout, I just think its going to happen. I was really optimistic at the beginning of the year. I really thought they would get a top 5 seed, so I am disappointed. Some actually think I like it when the Rockets lose, so I can prove my points. That couldn't be farther from the truth.

    WOW! When I said I would hold with my prediction, I thought I was being brave..but it turns out even my ten point victory call was an under-estimation (rockets won by 12!!) ..unbelieveable

    I dunno. I think if we keep playing like this we'll be in the playoffs. I'm kinda liking the results of these games. [​IMG]

    Yeah, what are you talking about. Rockets win 12 of 15, and you say - if we keep playing like this we will not make the playoffs.

    If we keep play like this we will get the 5th seed!!! But I'll settle for 48-34 and 7th seed.

    We can reach our destination, but it's still a ways away.

    Its not necessarily negative. When we reach our first destination, the Rockets will set another one and head on towards that one.

    So until we win a championship, the Rockets will be constantly heading for the destination.

    The Rockets will be the NBA champions. Believe.
