    30.5% chance of making the playoffs according to Hollinger.

    And let's not forget about Portland, they have murderers row left, 9 games they should be underdogs in.

    They do have a murderous schedule. Unfortunately they own the head to head with us so we will have to make up a whopping 5 games. I really like the way the Rockets are playing, just wish we could have got started a little sooner and please, please leave B.Miller on the bench!

    That is also what I see. I think we will lose to Miami, Philly, New Orleans and either Boston, Dallas or SA. We can't afford a hiccup but it can still be done.

    I counted wins against NO and Philly. Also, I have it from a good source that after the last encounter, Kyle asked CP3 to bring his red wig-- since Kyle will be treating him as his "red headed" step child...again. :p ;)

    HAHA, yea I can certainly see us winning in NOLA again and Kyle doing his thing.

    I rather take my chances at home then having to win on the road, this late in the season. Also assuming SA and Dallas will probably be resting people for the playoffs.

    NO and Memphis both will fall out but it remains to be seen if the Rockets can take advantage of it. In the past when things look like it will benefit the team to catch up they fall flat.

    Memphis has been playing exceptional and this is with Rudy Gay out. They need to start losing tonight with the Knicks.

    I don't think one game can make or break you but that loss to Phoenix on Brad Miller really hurts.

    It starts tonight. NY won't let Memphis come in and win at MSG.

    This would be the case if the rockets didn't need Memphis to lose. As the basketball gods frown upon the rockets, Memphis will come out of MSG with a win.

    As shockingly bad as Miller's last minute was, the loss wasn't totally on him. In fact, the Rockets were down 3, and only had a chance to tie when he started f***ing up.

    Small consolation to him, I'm sure, but the real problems were the Rockets' inability to stop Phoenix from scoring in that game.

    To be fair, nobody expected Vince Carter to hit every conceivable shot possible in that game. Then again, this isn't the playoffs yet so Vinchoker has yet to manifest.

    Vince going for 30-something didn't beat us, nor did it surprise me. Warrick's 32 on the other hand......:confused:

    Knicks up 18 going into 4th. a W against Boston puts us right there.
