    Rockets got the timberwolves tonight! Is it going to be "just another game"? Or will this be an indicator of their making or not making the playoffs?

    GO ROCKETS!!!!!!

    Every game for the Rockets from here on out is a big game if they are going to make any serious push for the playoffs.

    We just can not take any team lightly.

    ------------------
    The key for the Rockets is a winning attitude and mentality which can only be had by winning basketball games.

    It's a big game and I'm sure as hell looking forward to seeing Kevin Garnett play. Who on earth is going to guard him? I wouldn't be surprised to see him go off for 35 points, but as the Rockets have shown in the past, they can still win despite conceding big numbers to one player. Its just what the rest of the T-Wolves do that will decide this game.

    this is certainly the biggest game of all during the rockets current streak, simply because minnesota is the team currently occupying the 8th seed...in addition, the rockets have yet to play the wolves and will have 3 more games aginst them following this one...all things being equal the rest of the season, it is imperative that the rockets sweep the wolves (or at worst go 3-1) if they expect to catch them...

    This game is big for all the reasons mentioned so far. It also may be a better indicator of how good a team the Rockets have become than any of the previous 6 wins in this streak. The wins over Portland and Miami came while those teams were in a mini-slump. The T-wolves have been just as hot as the Rockets. The question is will the Rockets be able to beat a good team that is playing well. They haven't been able to do that yet this year that I can recall.

    I mean ...... every game is a big game if the Rox are to make the playoffs.

    However, tonight's game is especially BIG, since we are fighting for the playoff spot with that team - T'Wolves.

    Just don't take them lightly, as we shouldn't no matter what team we are playing.

    <CENTER>Gooooooooo Rockets!!!</CENTER>

    Sorry I haven't been able to respond to some of the commets today!

    Works' been a b****...

    Rockets should come out with confidence and show that this streak hasn't been a fluke or they've been lucky!

    With 4 meetings this year this should be a true indicator if the Rockets should be or deserve to be in the playoffs.

    It should be fun watching all the new talent on both teams!
