    this game is sooooooooooooo HUGE ... we have to win so the clips will be 3 loses behind us and also so they dont automatically win the tie breaker... datjing back to last year we struggled so much in LA against the clips.. hopefully we have another big game like tonight!!! this is a big measuring stick

    I think so, although we'd still be percentage points better than the Clippers, so technically we'll have the 4th best record.

    But maybe the Rockets can just win this game and spare us the trouble of figuring all that out.:grin:

    Top Point Guard and Power Forward vs. Top Shooting Guard and Center

    Fun match up. Twin Towers lineup is gone so I think we'll fare better.

    George Karl just said hardens the 2nd best offensive player in the NBA only Durant is better. He said he's seeing him become a better leader. I think hardens proving his doubter wrong. Since the start of January he's been playing terrific ball on both sides, over his last 10 games he's avg. 29 and 5 on 48% on 2fg and 42% on 3fg. He's making the big plays on both sides of the ball in clutch time and is leading the rockets with Dwight to the best record since the new year (18-5). If he continues to play this way he's the 3rd best player in the leave IMO. He can win games by himself and not many players can do that in this league.

    We're gonna need another big time game from James against the clippers. My guess is he delivers the goods for another 30+ and we get the win. He's a special talent and as long as he's playing like this we have a chance at a ring this season. The future looks good guys. Just think of what top player he attracts to the rockets in his prime on his next contract??? I mean he got us Howard in 1 season at 23!!! Made us instant contenders, DM hit good with this one. I think this guy has that It factor and can be the 2nd greatest rocket to Hakeem all time. I truely believe we're watching greatness with this guy.

    Need another big game from Harden and hopefully Lin has turned the corner and will get out of his slump. Let's go Rockets.

    Second game of a back to back to finish up an exhausting road trip against a team that we haven't matched up well against previously. I certainly would not look too deep into a loss, but man oh man a win would tell us a lot about the Rockets heart and determination.

    Judging by our recent performance, pretty confident about this game.

    If we play with the same intensity on defense and aggressiveness on offense against the Kings last night, we would be tough to beat. Plus, we are healthy now. Please beat the Clippers!
