    Francis had 29, 9, and 7 Ming had 18and 15 The Grizz simply were on fire. I know it sucks but sometimes we catch teams like this. Think of it this way we had a 90 percent chance of winning and well that 10% killed us nothing to worry about we played a good game Grizzlies simply just couldnt play any better. The good thing about these back to back games is that if we lose the 1st one we have a chance to win the next and not dwell on the loss for one to two days. GO ROCKETS BEAT THOSE CLIPS!

    The Griz seem to have our number, and step up their game every time we play them. Didn't we lose 3 out of 4 to them last year?

    it's hard to criticize steve for that game, but it seems the only thing that stands out are the two straight traveling calls he had on him. what was he thinking? he's not superman, trying to jump over 3 defenders to get the basket. also, i was dissappointed they didn't feed the ball to ming with about 4 min left in the game. i dont' think he touched the ball at all except to grab a rebound. and once again, why the hell do they have yao ming feeding the ball to KT in the post????????? :confused: :mad: :confused: :mad:

    Tonight will be the test. How we play in tonights game will show us whether we have really taken steps forward or merely just showed flashes of what we someday will be. Of course a win tonight might only show that we are a team flawless at hoome and worthless on the road.....ok maybe not worthless but if anything we definitely need to beat the "beatable" teams on the road....Our track record shows that we usually follow a close loss where we beat ourselves with a tremendous win.....guess we'll see, GO ROX!!!!!

    The Grizzlies are quite a bit like the Rockets and the Clippers of 1 or 2 years ago. Immense young talent and overwhelming potential. They don't have their stuff together to the point where they can blow up on people consistently...well wait, a 4 game winning streak is pretty damn consistent. But my point is that nobody should loathe losing to the Grizz more than any other team, because they could be one hell of a ballclub shortly.



    Or they could end up like the Clippers.;)

    I sure hope that these were just bad games as bad games do happen and not a showing of the team that we truly are this year. What do you guys think is the real rockets team? The team that we saw spank Sacramento and SA or the team that gets spanked by LAC and Memphis????Lets just hope we win tomorrow night otherwise we have hit our first 3 game skid.....
