ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Magic 3/5/2014

Tobias Harris, must key in on that guy.

 

early 6'o clock game. Hope the travel there was smooth and the guys aren't too tired.

 

But but if we lose we can always expect the excuse of playing on a B2B too!!!

 

it was a must win "statement" game against a top 4 team, we have really struggled against some of the top teams and last night we played well and showed we can mix it with the Heat

 

what i meant is, we need to back up last nights great win with another tonight or it will have felt like a waste of a win in a way. We need to keep winning to hold the Blazers off for a top 4 spot in the West

 

I always check the betting agency odds before a Houston game. They are most accurate with their assessments.

The Rockets is -7 for this game.

 

How do they determine this?

 

Based on the last matchup at home probably. Rockets only won by 10 last game despite Harden, Howard, and Jones having excellent games.

Thats because our entire bench laid and egg and lost us big leads. The starters maintained got it up to 16 at one point in the 3rd or 4th.

If we play our game, I don't se how the magic can beat us.

 

Lets not Let Tobias Harris go for a career high again against us

 

I wish I knew otherwise I wouldn't be one of their customers (losers)! These people runs a multi-billion dollar industry and putting money where their mouth is and comes out on top.

I could only assume they have the most professional workers with the most latest professional software and the most up to date information from the right channels.

 

So if we lose this game there is no way we would avoid playing the Clippers on the road in the first round?

Must win games are season-ending games, elimination games.

 

Bad back. Don't see Dwight playing tonight.

 

Says who? Is that you speculating or has that been announced anywhere? He looked pretty good last night against the Heat.

 

Just pure speculation. But I don't see the Rockets pushing him too hard if his back is already acting up.

 

Hoping for a blowout just so troy Daniels can play

 

Me too. His stroke in warmups last night was a thing of beauty.

 

Blowout win for the Rockets with Lin finally playing his first good game since the allstar break.

The trap just became bigger.
