    Ah! Thanks for that, @J.R., and thanks @amaru. I'm not terribly superstitious about most things, but I am very superstitious about the Rockets. Keep it up, amaru! :cool:

    Rockets turnovers: 1025
    Nuggets turnovers: 991

    Rockets FG%: .446
    Nuggets FG%: .467

    Jamal Murray usage %: 24.9
    Gary Clark usage %: 10.1

    Rockets must create cap space in summer, but it's not possible.

    Nuggets win in landslide.

    I have a feeling we are gonna light it up from behind the arc tonight and put on a 3PT frenzy. Denver won't know what hit em. Bring it on!!!! Time to start taking our opponents out with a bang.

    Portland hasn't let up yet either. It should only be a matter of time but so far they continue to win.

    I expected Portland to beat the Bulls last night. The keys to passing them for 3rd are:

    1) The Rockets must lose no more than 2 more games and finish 52-30.
    2) The Blazers lose 2 of the next 3 on their road trip(@ATL, @DET, @min).
    3) The Blazers lose both games of their upcoming home and away with the Nuggets.

    I don't see Portland even without Nurkic(and possibly McCollum) dropping any other games remaining on their schedule. So if all of the above happen, we wind up with 30 losses and they'll have 31.

    Portland will continue to win due to ease of the remaining schedule.

    Let’s start the Nuggets losing streak. They have a tough stretch coming

    Capela is the big key in this matchup. He normally has his way with Jokic. I don't think he's lost a single game against him in his career. He was absent in our only loss against them.
