Thanks to Suns, West ours to lose I don't want to jinx it, but it looks like the Bulls are going to beat the Suns tonight. I've never been a believer in the Suns. Granted, they have some good players but I just don't think they have the make-up to sustain a run to the playoffs. I really think we'll hold on to the 8th seed and complete my goal for the Rockets to make it in to the playoffs. Anything more is just gravy to me. Is there any reason to believe that from top to bottom, the Suns are a better team than the Rockets?
There is no reason whatsoever to believe that Phoenix is better than Houston. The Rockets have hurt themselves more than anyone has hurt them. This was most notably shown by all the losses to the bottom feeders of the league. The Rockets were good enough to get home court advantage for the first round.

I love watching Phoenix and Utah lose almost as much as I like seeing us win. Tonight I had both. Time to break out the double clutch tapes and make it a perfect evening.
