    I feel ya, but damn this game hurts, especially how they had it taken away from them on a BS call like that. I hope the Rockets can still make it, but this is a big setback, especially with the Suns winning too.

    No, this game really doesn't hurt too much. Most of us expected to lose this one - a win just would've been a bonus. This one hurts because of the WAY it was lost...

    I fully expect the Rox to extremely pissed next outing. And the Jazz better watch out. Vengeance doesn't necessarily have to be reciprocal...

    I expect to see a massacre.

    Yeah at least 1 good thing about this game is that all the players should be reallly pissed off, including Francis.

    Since the Rockets haven't played a GAME since Saturday, I'm sure they will play very well against the Clips. I really hope they take it to Seattle. I'd like them to improve to 2-0 in games I've attended! [​IMG]

    I would really hate to be the Clips right now. I predict a MASSIVE win by Houston. They proved they are a great team today, by playing hard despite the adversity. Although I am a little concerned with the defense (125 points)!, the Kings just wouldn't miss, especially since they were allowed to travel and push all night long. The Rockets are a great team, and this game was taken from them. It was not a loss. They will recover nicely.

    Another good thing (always gotta look for that silver lining somewhere) was that the bottom end of our bench actually kept up with their first string pretty well. From what I saw, Thomas also was a real presence at times. This game just sucked because it was sortof a freak game. Hopefully we can move on and knock over the clips...

    Yes there were about 5 to 10 calls that were messed up and BOTH techs on Franchise count for another 15, but these are THE HOUSTON ROCKETS, the bad news bears of the NBA, the guys who jumped from 11th place to 9th and are fighting for the playoffs when no one thought they could, the guys who have to play the a team and the refs on most nights, the guys who lose their resurged legendary center and still comeback from 20 to beat the best team in the league, the guys who overcome adversity better than anyone, they have the heart of champions and will rise. Believe!
