    Cmon now its the 1st true contender we play this year, 2nd projected seed in the west, our archrival Jazz.

    Calm down: we are 1 game from .500 and tied for the 8th seed

    Hopefully, we will turn the corner before then.

    Before the season started, I had that 4th game, the Utah game earmarked. A lot of pundits had the Jazz #2 in the west.

    To be frank, I really want the Rockets to do well in that game to silence those guys.

    We're one game into the season...game 4 isn't going to tell us much. We have new players that need to learn how to play together, and that's not happening by game 4. No one is ignoring anything. People seem to be doing the exact opposite by weighting game 1 results way too heavily. I hope we beat the jazz, but I don't expect it because they have significantly more experience playing together than our current team does.

    I'm predicting game 7 will actually be the most important game of the season. Lose that one, and we might as well tank.

    if Game 4 can get us back to .500 and sitting at 8th seed, we can stay calm
