If we are going to catch the Suns- NOW is the time to do it. A 3 game run, 2 over Western bottom feeders and the final over the Suns themselves, really puts the Rockets in the thick of things. I feel the fever returning... Damn- Steve dialed it up a notch (or 2)!! ------------------
Wow, no kidding. Now is the time to strike. And if the Rockets falter any, they have some buffer room to make up for any small type of mistake. But needless to say, that Phoenix game if going to have a playoff type atmosphere!!! Even more than the Dallas game. But first things first; Clippers have got to go down!!! ------------------
Forgot to mention the Suns Schedule in the same 3 game run- Jazz, -Kets, Blazers..... Tough schedule! ------------------
Man not just one, but TWO playoff berths are there for the taking, with Phoenix and Minnesota having the same number of losses (Phoenix slid into the 8th slot tonight with the loss) and with both of them having tough schedules, Minnesota's schedule is flat out BRUTAL! I think they will finish a game or 2 behind the Rockets, and the Suns don't have it easy either. The Rocks can get there as long as they keep winning! ------------------ Rocks2001 in disguise. . .
What gets me is we may have to win 47 or 48 games to make it into the playoffs. Geez, a few years ago, 41 or 42 wins would have gotten us there. ------------------ "Hey Snoop Dog, I got my bi-yatch to make you some muffins."
Definitely don't write off the game tonight, though. We're coming off a tough win, a flight home, and a few banged up bodies. If Cato can step up again, we may have a chance. ------------------ Founding Father of the Refs Suck Club
And the Clippers could use a better chemist ------------------ Kenny Thomas had a foul called on him in the Western Conference Finals.
