    They will be without there best player Lamar Odom. Then again we won't have Hakeem either and possibly Mo out too. We have lost twice to the clips already. Imagine if we had those two games?? we would be only 1 and a half game back. We MUST destroy them this time around.

    We will destroy the Clippers. Things are coming together for the Rockets.

    We had a big comeback win tonight. Phoenix had a demoralizing loss tonight.
    The other two comeptitors for the 8th seed have fallen off and are history - Nuggets and Sonics.

    Only the T'Wolves await. And I shall be there in person to assure the Rockets of victory over our northern nemesis.

    ------------------
    The Rockets will be the NBA champions. Believe.

    Just imagine if we had beaten the Clips twice, Warriors, and Celts. Thats 37-24 right there. We should have that record eventhough we are 1-13 against the best in the west. MAN that pisses me off.

    I would like to thank Lamar Odom for smoking pot and getting suspended for our game. He's such a good guy! [​IMG]

    I like to imagine nicer things, like Yasmine Bleeth and her twin sister naked. With me.

    We will get into the playoffs not only in spite of those losses, but partly because of them. Those losses served as important lessons to this young team, they are better for having gone through them.

    I guarantee Mobley will play better than Odom for this next game.....

    Lynus was joking, as in Mobley will out play Odom because Odom will not play.

    I'm sure every team out there can say something like "If we woulda won those 2 Clippers games and that Boston game and that Grizzlies game, we'd be in the playoffs," but you know what, we didn't.

    We can focus on winning this game, though :) And hopefully fight our way into the playoffs. I, also, would like to see Mobley have a good game tonight. And a repeat performance from Shandon & Cato would be nice too.

    I'll stick with my original prediction -

    Houston 102
    Clips 92

    maybe we can actually improve our western conference record tonight! I will say that if we lose to the clips 3 times in one year, we probably dont deserve to be in the playoffs...but I've got faith!

    As I understand the NBA's drug policy, it couldn't have been pot. Veteran players are only tested for pot before the beginning of the season. Moreover, you wouldn't get a suspension of that many games for smoking pot. I wonder what he was doing?

    Rockets 101, Clips 67. Their offense will be in shambles without Odom. They are actually my second favorite team, and are a hell of a lot of fun to watch. Still, when they aren't all hitting, Odom is their only real threat. With him gone, they are going to stink it up. That's fine by me.

    I agree. he is their floor leader. As a reporter put it, he says "Jump", and they say "how high"....

    But Maggette is no pushover. He's an exact prototype of Shandon. When he wants to, he can play D like no one's business.


    Hmmmmmm....


    I think we can pretty much outplay everyone but Miles. Dooling can burn us though.


    I change my prediction, I don't see them scoring so much without their point-forward.

    Clips 83
