    Why is Gonzaga always given a double digit seed? Just move them to the Sweet 16 where they belong and let them play from there.

    I BELIEVE!

    The clippers are just a tough matchup for us - the pups have been slaughtered twice by the warriors this season and only beat the warriors when they had 1/2 their roster unavailable - that happens, there's some teams that just match-up well with others and seem to have their number every time.

    I think we badly need to beat Seattle twice now and sneak a game out of the two against the Jazz - but as a believer I think we're going to make it!

    I Don't!

    10 of their last 13 games are against the West.

    I'm really sick of their crap. Everytime they play a Western team their shorts turn into skirts.

    The Clippers have only 25 wins this season. 3 of those against the Rockets.

    Somebody has to knock the sides of the heads of these players just to let them know that games against Western team are more important than Eastern teams.

    Yeah... only 4 losses against the East is great, but it's a totally useless stat if you don't make it to the Finals, much less the playoffs.

    Looking at the schedule, I see 3 more losses coming up.

    Let's all be realistic here. Without the big old man down there, they are reduced to the same level as the Clippers.

    I BELIEVE that they won't make it.

    I'll be ultimately pissed off if they lose to the Sonics tomorrow.

    We Went ONE N ONE [YES ONE WAS STOLEN FROM US]

    the Spurs game

    Loosely translated
    WE STILL ON SCHEDULE!!!

    HELL YEAH I BELEIVE!!!

    I want to believe, but it showed last night that we have a glaring weakness inside, that might prevent us from making it this year. Hakeem was giving us a presence inside. Cato's nothing inside. Last night was the last straw. I know the Rockets have to be kicking their asses repeatedly for signing this guy to that contract, and because of that contract, we're going to have a hard time getting rid of his ass. [​IMG]

    I see four more, but you know what? They would still have a chance of making it. Look at the Puppies schedule buddy. Tough road games all over the place.

    I BELIEVE!

    Nah,

    They are not mature enough, and don't bring it every night.

    I still stick by my preseason prediction.

    45-37 just out of it.

    I believe the current rotation of having at least one of the Defenseless Duo (Walt and Cato) on the court at all times is just barely too much for Steve and Cat to overcome. No Playoffs.

    As much as watching those two championship seasons makes me BELIEVE, watching that Clippers game last night (cant say Rockets game cause they had none) was unbelievable. I still have hope though.

    I believe!

    But optimism doesn't mean the fans shouldn't be mad with the players over lackluster effort and poor play.

    I believe in our guys, but I'm not forgetting this loss in a hurry, and I hope they don't either.

    Go Rockets! We know you can do it!

    You have to believe until the middle of April.

    Never underestimate the losing streak the t-pups are going to get.
