    This phrase is thrown around way too much. It's not really a "must win" - if we lose, the season isn't exactly over. It's just a "would like to win" game.

    It's a must win from the standpoint that it's by far the most winnable game remaining in the Rockets' current stretch of 7 games from hell.

    Wow, you got them all right! I was just messing around. This is the perfect set up for a let down, but I hope they win.

    Rockets haven't lost to a scrub team since January 10th to ATL. Don't see it happening tonight lately they've been putting these teams away early.

    Yeah, it's only must win if we don't want to play the Clippers on the road in the first round.

    what do you mean? losses all count the same in your record. win against the heat and lose here, just as bad as losing to the heat and winning here. don't waste last night's effort by losing now...

    Just play hard and we should win easily.

    Win against MIA means nothing if we blow this one. We've done it before, get a big win in SA and blow the next game in Utah. We'll see if this team has matured.

    Its not a must win but its important especially against a bad team if we want to maintain the 3rd seed in west with LAC and POR right on our tails
