    Yes, you can tell with both of them on the court, it makes a lot of difference. We are off to a 25 to 7 run in the third quarter. Without them, we were losing ground in the second quarter.

    The other aspect of the game is, less and less Rocket care at this timing of the year. The same mode story in the last few years.


    :( :( :(

    Well, did we lose??:(. If we did, Phoenix pretty much deserves it anyway. We never seemed to want to build on our winning streaks and in our post game comments, just assumed that we lose because of bad luck and things were going to improve by "probility" in the next game. That's not how it works in this league. If you continue to do the exact same thing that doesn't do well for you, then you'll continue to struggle and lose confidence in the next game even when you keep saying its bad luck (like the players). Surely enough, that's what happened. The coaching change did us in for the most part, but these players never really cared and never shown any real heart until probably tonight, and if they lose.... Well we'll access the dilemma in the offseason:rolleyes:

    apparently not :(

    but there's 5-1/2 minutes left in the 4th qtr now, and the Rox are up by a good 20 points... so maybe the Rockets players themselves still care... :)

    but hmmm..... the BIG HMMMMM!!!!!!! the Suns to lose the next 3 while the Rockets win the next 3?

    HHMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :confused:

    :) At least they played well tonight.
    Hopefully they win both two remaining games.
    Then, I will forgive them a little for not making the playoffs. :)

    Nobody cares about Game Threads anymore? Just 2 pages so far, this must be a record low.

    Good game by the Rocks, just hope that Seatle can regroud themselves and beat the Suns in their last game. Atleast they should do it for their fans ;) (assuming Suns loose to both Spurs and Trail blazers)

    Go Rocks! Go Seatle!

    -G'day-

    This got the lowest-count game thread ever! I hope Les make some major adjustments in the summer. Just do whatever necessary to get rid of this ISO stupid sh*t! It was unbearable to see the Sonics TV announcer pointing out the key of the game before tip off. One of them is "not to play street-ball style of the Rockets"! :mad:

    does a bear crap in the woods??? :D

    and im kinda glad people are giving up on the rockets... it lets me know who really loves this team and who doesnt... i thinks its called trimming the fat. ;)

    go rockets i still love you with or without the playoffs... but it would be nice if it was with the playoffs

    for all those bandwagoners dont let the door hit you where the good lord split you:p

    GO ROCKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Actually! This is scary!
    I started to watch the rocket because of Yao.
    I was frustating most of the time with the team but I am still watching them. To be mad at them? :confused:

    It becomes more like I am watching my crappy national team.
    I always mad at them but still rooting for them. :p

    I am happy that the rocket won. Hopefully, they will win more in the future.

    :)

    Grizzlies @ Rockets

    Rockets pull out an inspired win at their last game at the Laptop. Pau Gasol tears up Griffin, but the guards pour out their heart and score 20+ apiece. Posey has a huge game with 25 points. Yao gets 15 and 13. We win 96-89.

    Rockets @ Nuggets

    The young Nugs give it their all, but the Rockets want a win very badly. Another Rocket player steps up (glen Rice) and scores 27. Nene Hilario tears up Griffin, but the rest of the Rockets hustle, play smart defense and move the ball around. We win 99-84.

    And in Evil-land...

    Spurs @ Suns

    Spurs are playing unbelievable basketball, and Tim Duncan shows his usual display of all-around great skillz. Marbury scores 41 but Amare misses crucial freebies at the end (hehe) and the Spurs escape with a W, 101-96.

    Suns @ Blazers.

    The potheads are at it again. Wallace and Wells have monster games as The Blazers try to better their playoff position. Marbury shoots 3-23 and Marion is the only Sun to step up with 24. Blazers win 88-82.

    Suns @ Sonics

    The hope dies here as Seattle is slaughtered 112-79. Our hearts break simultaneously. Oh, well, aight season, but no p'o's.



    By the way...great job tonight, Rocks.

    Well, I got back from the game and I thought it was a pretty fun game to attend, anyway. Pretty good action and shooting today, and that Francis dunk at the end of the first is play of the day, I guarantee it.

    Well, we got the toughest game out of our schedule, and won very convincingly. I have no doubt that we will win our last two, we just have to hope the Suns do their part.

    And yeah, you can see very clearly who are not true fans, because they would have been posting in here as usual. Props to everyone whos name is in this forum.
