    So a popularity contest makes a player better?

    Oh joy, so he joined up with the best of the NBA (not including him) to take on the rest of the world.

    And yet he's mroe injury prone than all of the guys I just mentioned.

    With the way you're willing to gut the team for Kevin freaking Love we'd be heading for the lottery.

    we dominate older, slow teams. Celtics should be a win.

    He was a reserve in his 2 all star games, which means the coaches picked him lol. Nice try though.

    Why didn't Josh Smith get an invite? Anthony freaking Davis got a spot over Josh Smith.

    He broke a bone in his shooting hand, how is that injury prone? Maybe Josh Smith has a broken shooting hand too, he's a terrible shooter.

    How would we be in the lotto with a core of Lin, Harden, and Love? We've had much worse teams than that and never been lower than the 14th pick. You're just reaching, brah.

    So just because we lost to Hornets (who also beat Spurs, btw), we all a sudden can't win games anymore. Get the **** out of here, troll.

    Rockets are Road Warriors!
    Last 3 away/away b2b Rockets are 5-1.
    I do feel Mchale need closer monitor minutes played specially for Parson & Lin. Harden can extend minutes, but you can see he take plays off on defensive side.

    @Toronto -L
    @Knicks -W

    @Chicago - W
    @Minny - W

    @Bucks -W
    @Cavs -W

    I see your point. McHale doesn't seem to believe in managing guys minutes in the first game of a back to back and he won't do so in this stretch with the better teams on the front end. All games are winnable though. I think the Rox go 4-2.

    In all honesty I see,
    • 1/11 @ Celtics - 80% Win / 20% Loss
    • 1/12 @ Sixers - 70% Win / 30% Loss
    • 1/15 vs. Clippers - 40% Win / 60% Loss
    • 1/16 @ Mavs - 70% Win / 30% Loss
    • 1/18 @ Pacers - 80% Win / 20% Loss
    • 1/19 @ Wolves - 90% Win / 10% Loss

    Also at most we lose 2 in a row but definitely not more than that.

    Aside from the Clippers, none of the other teams really scare me (the funny thing is I'm more scared of really bad teams because I think they tend to play down to them).

    Lin needs to return play well for Houston has a chance to win some of these games
    Because When Lin plays well, he just maximizing the performance of Their other teammates
    Harden will make his average 26 points
    Technician Kevin McHale also can not miss

    I might agree most of those when we are at home
    But those are away games on the road

    I think Rox have earned enough credit to lose some of these games while still making the playoff. Also, losing some these games may be indeed good to the Rox because their best match-up should be the Grizzlies. So, the best place to end up is somewhere around 7th.

    At least, this loss is better than the OKC's and Spurs's.

    And the Kings fans are going to lose their team.
