Um, y'all do realize that we shouldn't have even won the game last night against the Clippers. I think it's a bit premature to say we're gonna gain on the Lakers too.
I agree, only if you change "the Lakers" to "the Rockets" But to be fair with ourselves, we also lost a few games due to bad calls. Last night we had poise, fought hard, Miller still had a second chance but he choked. So here is my signature of the day: Refs help those who help themselves
I think the Rockets are going to make the playoffs as the #8 seed. Lakers make it as the #7 seed. But here is how I see the Western Conference Final Standings. 1. San Antonio 2. Dallas 3. Sacramento 4. Minnesota 5. Portland 6. Lakers 7. Utah 8.
