    Helpful guy above said that it has happened 4 time so far this season. Rockets are 3-1 in those circumstances.

    This game is so important. Dallas, LA, and GS were all down in the 4th last night and managed to win. There really is zero room for error.

    At the all-star break I looked at our schedule and thought it would be almost impossible to win all three games against OKC, the Nets, and the Wizards. I thought if we could come away with two wins then that would be great. Considering we have been playing with a new rotation and a short bench, a win tonight would be amazing. The bench last night was terrific. Those guys came in and made a contribution after getting very few minutes this season.

    At one point last night it looked like the Vipers were playing. A bunch of players that were in the D-league just a few games ago held their own against the Nets. Very impressive job by the players and coaches.

    I expect this to be another tough game.

    We better win. We have a chance to tie for 7th, and the Lakers are coming.

    Different trade. The only physical involved in that one is Marcus. Physicals weren't finished in time for the players traded to the Kings.

    Keep an eye on Anderson. He is highly underrated and was not given the greatest chance in San Antonio. Guy has skills.

    Yes. They have been doing pretty good as of late but I think we have a better team.

    There a young team as well, but we should win this game easily. We're on a roll and Bradley Beal on James Harden :0

    It's easier said than done--out-running another young team in their home court on the backend of a back-to-back. Their moral is also high after beating Denver last night.

    This game needs additional care in matchup lineups, sub and energy management from McHale.

    We will win but only with great care.

    Another b2b and we're shorthanded too. However, I don't see us losing because what's his name already predicted a win streak a few days earlier. :grin:

    Does anyone know if Rockets have the most number of b2b this year?
