    Not trying to nitpick, but how does this game not matter?

    Don't be too optismistic, guys.

    Brand is back, he will give us some trouble. Marggete played very good facing rox.

    To be consistent, we have to win this game.

    WE better win this one. If the Rockets can't beat the Clippers and the Hornets, then the last two "Big" wins don't mean too much....I mean they do count as W's, but the Rox haven't really advanced anywhere. We would be right back to that incredible inconsistant play, following big wins with terrible losses.

    Here's to a nice cushy winning streak in our homestand.

    Welcome back DD. The Rox must prove they are for real and win the next to games, that should be easy wins.

    Clippers played some awesome basketball last week. They blowed out Portland and lost to Indianna by OT. Their big 3 Brand, Maggette, Q are just as good as any other trios in NBA.

    Could Cato shut down Brand? If he could limit Brand to 15 points and 8 rebounds, we must win this game.

    Yao will eat Kaman alive, I have no doubt about that.

    Rockets win by 5!

    ZRB, how come you predict a easy win? Whenever you predict a loss, Rockets always win, please insist your pessimism, OK?:D:D:D

    I hate when this BBS is overconfident..

    it seemed earlier in the season when we predicted easy wins we came out and lost ugly.. almost like the players mirrored the attitude of the posters.

    This late in the season no win is an easy win.. I just hope the Rox play hard and smart..

    Go Yao! Go Rox! Go Super Duper Backup Bench Brigade!

    If we're going to ease up and take a soft game this is the one to do it. We can win this game without 100% effort. I'd like to see JVG push them out to a strong lead and then get Yao some rest. So long as they don't blow the lead the bench could use some more playing time anyway. :D

    That being said this team still needs to learn to control and easily win the games they should win and not make them more work than they need to be. We have a habit if keeping weaker teams in the game by getting too soft at the half, especially when the game isn't nationally televised.

    dont take clippers quiet seriously. they are crappy.

    BTW, i wonder if there exist some clipper's fan in this world.

    they are too terrible to root. I would rather chose GS or even Lakers. if I haave to pick up a cali team.
