    Phoenix lead over Houston down to 3.5. A 28 point lead in the first half, and now they are down 13 in the final minute. Update: Kings 100, Suns 89. FINAL. Unbelievable night for comebacks. Not only do the Rockets get a miracle, the Kings give them one too. [​IMG]

    Yeah, that's very good news, despite the fact that it sort of overshadows the Rockets in the media. Good night for one ballgame. Since both the Kings and Rockets only played half games tonight. Incredible half games, though.

    beat me to it the cat. Hopefully the Timberwolves will be the next to fall. No need to worry about the sonics or nuggs anymore. They aren't even in the picture.

    Speaking of the Kings comeback did anyone watch it? Chris Webber was an animal. 41 points and 14 boards and he was hitting from EVERYWHERE. Please, please, please come to Houston Mr. Webber.

    This win could turn the entire season around. It looked for all intensive purposes that the Rocks would fall 5.5 games back of the Suns, trailing by 23, and the suns killing Sac by 28. The morales of both teams did a flip-flop tonight. The Suns will check into a mental institution and lose the rest of their games.

    That's a good point RocketRam. Games like this often turn seasons around, both ways. This win could send the Rockets on a winning streak, and Phoenix on a losing streak.

    I watched the game and it was amazing. Webber didnt impress me though. he did that his freshman year at Michigan and has han no need to further impress me. this guy is amazing, and has been my #3 favorite college player since i first saw him on tv. If he were to play with my my #1 favorite (Mobley) life would be a wonderfull thing. I doubt Tyson Wheeler will ever make the rockets [​IMG], so I will concentrate on CWebb

    peace

    Just in time for Sunday, too [​IMG] I'm actually a little worried about tommorow. The guys will be tired. Dream is probably out. Let's just hope Mo is there. Even without their star, the Clips have young legs, and have been resting since Monday.

    If anything I would think they would talk more about Houston because how ironic it is that it happened not once, but twice.

    And to top it off, CWebb was playing on a really bad pair of legs. He has been hurting lately, last night he could hardly even jump. He was just getting rebounds by moving his body to the ball.

    2 games left w/ Phoenix. These are MUST wins. The Suns have a tougher schedule. It feels so good to have playoff intensity BBall back in Houston.

    Lets just hope that the Rockets will have everyone back for the Suns game.

    Wow, the Suns game is gonna be HUGE. If they do go on a losing streak, and we win these next two we could really get up right next to them in the standings...I'm not sure how much but maybe as close as 1-1.5 games. You want to see some playoff atmosphere then all you have to do is watch this game and you will get it.

    How serious IS Mo's injury? I know he's hurt, but you know he'd simply LOVE for another crack at his former team, especially with us playing such improved ball since the last time we faced them.
