    Actually, this will determine whether or not we can realistically catch the Spurs for the division. Anything less than a 5-2 record and beating the Spurs and we are looking at the 3 seed.

    If we lost 5 out of 7 then we put outselves in danger of being caught momentarily by the Clips or Utah. Although I feel the 3rd see is ours. The best record those teams can hope for is 52 wins (15-8 for Utah and 16-7 for Clipps) which means we can go 11-11 and still beat them out.

    I wonder how many of these will be blown 15 point leads. Probably at least 2 or 3.

    You ****ing losers never learn. The jinx is real and yet you keep starting threads about the next X games and whenever such a thread is started, Rockets inevitably get the L

    You ****ers are probably not Rockets fans.

    They really need to cut it with the 3 point shoot out, and make an actual playbook. I'm one of those fans who really hates the 3 point shot.

    The 3rd seed is what we will end up at by seasons end. The remaining 21 games are just to see if it's enough to put Harden as MVP

    If you do not know how to play defense you can not pretend to win anything. We repeat the same mistakes over and over again. AMAZING! This team is heading for a new failure in the playoffs!

    It was the bad play calling from Mike D'Antoni. Shooting threes all the time is a bad idea. The coaches need to make a new better playbook.

    realistic best case scenario for us is to go .500 the next 7 games and finish out the last stretch with a win-streak but with such terrible defense and rebounding since the new year, it's looking unlikely.

    We are only up by like 3 over Utah. They better take it seriously.

    Dantoni mentioned in his last press conference that sometimes the team has too much of a "we'll be fine" mindset and they need to get over that

    What the crap, rockets losing to a pacers team where everyone seems to beat.
    An utter disgrace.
    Where would we be without sweet lo? Probally less than 80 points scored?
    Our streak with at least 10 three poinrt would be toast.

    Yawn.. you guys are quick to sulk.. Good teams lose to bad teams, and actually, I think the Pacers are much better than their record. Couple nights ago when making 22 threes saved us, you guys were all for it, now everyone hates the three. We need to focus on rebounding, but you guys think Bogut is a meanie pants.

    Didn't even account for CP3 being back, Deron & Bogut to Cavaliers, so I'm changing my predictions to: 2-5, beating the Bulls & Jazz.

    Well, looks like I was dead wrong on that first one.. SMH I'm hoping a home loss like that and the coach calling them soft will help light a fire under them going forward. Guess we will see.
