    Does anybody besides me think that Houston is gonna kill Indiana on their own turf tonight. I frankly think that they are tired of losing, lottery be damned, and that it is gonna be a scrappy throw down, like 2nd half in New York, but we'll win!

    Hmmm, let me think.

    Win against one of the East's elite teams vs. ping pong balls. I think the Rockets have been down this road before(on TNT) and we know what road they took.

    Don't worry though, the Rockets face the Clippers on March 23, so barring a forfeit, that should be a Rockets win for you.

    The Rockets WIN ... KENYON MARTIN BABY!!

    Well I think they can and will win, BUT-
    If it looks like they are not trying to win as hard as possible tonight, I'm gonna go ahead and jump on your lottery bandwagon. I'm not gonna like it though.

    love your optimism HouRocks. I think the Rockets will give Indianna a run for their money, but unlike Houston, Indianna actually has something to play for(playoff position).

    Rockets have been struggling.

    Pacers have been on a roll.

    It doesn't look good.

    MMmmmm biscuits.

    Do you know the Pacers have only lost one game at home this year? They, unlike the Fakers, do not lose to bad teams.

    With that few losses, their odds are way up there to lose at home tonight. Just like the rockets have lost 5 in a row, so they are bound to win tonight.

    Well, I think the rox will come out firing in the first half.
    2nd half they will just stand around and watch cat on the iso.
    Kind of hard to see Indy losing 2 nite...

    GO LOTTERY!

    Of couse I expect them to win.

    I will never, I repeat, never, watch a Rockets game knowing that they have no chance of winning it.

    sailor, I love your optimism but the Rockets are no Mavs. Indiana won't be so nice to the Rockets. Have we forgotten the Rox haven't won a big road game all year! I'm gonna drink em to victory, however. [​IMG]I may pass out thinking we won when we actually lost.

    sailor- my sentiments exact. If I knew in advance that any game would be a loss, I'd go find something else to do. I have taped a lot of games and have never yet rewatched a losing match, no matter how exciting it may have been.
    Surfguy- we have won some big road games this year. ( lakers, mavs, clips, warriors, bulls ,Oh nevermind )Tonight won't be the first.

    Well Raww...ya got it bassackwards [​IMG]
    The Rocks actually were crappy in the first half and came back hard in the second.....they almost made it all the way back...got ta within 5 with just a few minutes left...and then choked at the end....Typical...but not too damn bad for a crappy lottery-bound team [​IMG]

    Go ROCKS!!!!!

    Maloney is gonna SCHOOL Francis to get back at Rudy. But maybe Cuttino will win it for us. [​IMG]

    myputersux,

    well I was close, I figured at least one of the halves would be crappy. I thought it would be the 2nd. I watched some of the first half and then I found myself watching 20/20... hard to watch your team getting spanked!

    Well I wasn't close at all, but I'm still not gonna root for more losses, just can't do it. Can't wait for the Clips game! I just hope they don't embarrass us.

    Rocks,

    I don't think no one is rooting for the rocks to lose... Losing sucks. I'm sure we have the clippers number! Hey, and there is always chicago! Francis vs Maloney
