    Didn't bet against the Rockets but took the over; bad night all around since I also took the over on the Portland/Charlotte game and Denver.

    The under seemed so obvious. Crappy Kings team playing the second night of a back to back after the first game being in Philly. I should've let it all ride.

    Last two wins were nice, but they felt like games that only improved morale, instead of fixing the ailing problems. And that's ok. But we need to do some work.

    This team needs rest ASAP. Luckily, Sacramento provided the rest game the Rockets needed.

    I'm not wholly disagreeing but our defense looked MUCH better tonight. And it created an ability to dominate the scoreboard. Beating a bottomfeeder by a bunch and Harden scoring 10 points in 32 minutes is a sign that the team (highlight the word team) is getting back to who we're capable of being.

    Yeah.

    Noticed Harden isn't on any flyers this week, that is something diff from him. He probably asks not to be mentioned.

    Tucker is someone I'd love on this team come Playoff time.

    I would say they'll get some rest after the Chicago game on Friday. They don't play against til the following Tuesday. Unfortunately with the Super Bowl in town, I have a feeling a lot of these guys won't be relaxing over the weekend.

    Much needed win last night. I loved the defensive intensity.

    Playing Dwight tomorrow. My guess is if the Rockets win he regrets leaving and if the Hawks win he doesn't (as much).

    The Rockets look better since losing 6/9 games, but they haven't had any real competition. I don't think we are catching SA, but the Clippers are getting healthy and the Jazz are looking good. Another slip up and we may end up be 5th seed, 6th or even 7th seed.

    True. I can't blame them for partying it up.

    The key is limiting their female-drug intake. Life is a challenge.

    Drink some water in between drinks. Eat some fruits and veggies.

    The Clippers won't be a concern. Have you seen their upcoming schedule for February? And they'll have to play these games without Chris Paul.

    I'm not sweating the Jazz either. Looking at their remaining schedule for the season, they'll probably lose at least another 10 games. That would put them in the low 50's for a best case scenario win total. The Rockets only have to go 19-11 the rest of the way to win 55 games. Barring injuries, I'd be stunned if they couldn't pull that off.
