    The Rockets will not take the Clippers lightly. 15 point win.

    I hate the Utah Jazz!!!



    Rockets take this one to help secure home court advantage for the first round.

    I'm really interested to see who is going to play this game for both teams, The CLips are in tank mode and there is no reason to play Brand or Maggette. Jackson, Battier, Alston and T-Mac are hobbled for us but we absolutely have to win this game. I hope the Chicken Man cuts his old team a break and rest his starters.

    Its pretty incredible that not a single game has been scheduled yet. If we open at home I'm guessing that the first game would be Sunday during the day. Anybody have any info on this? ticket availability et al?

    If the Rockets don't win this game, I'll be physically ill until the playoffs start.

    NO EXCUSE to not win this game.

    A must-win if the Rockets have any hope of getting homecourt in the first round and possibly upsetting the Jazz.

    We'll win big, and Utah will lose, cuz they've lost 17 straight against the Spurs.

    Given the way we've played in the last couple of games, I wouldn't be surprised if we lay another egg.

    if we get past the first round...i think tmac will show some kind of explosiveness that we've never seen b4...

    Not sure if it is a good trend or bad omen but according to ESPN , "The Clippers have not beaten a team with a winning record since Feb. 22 (Utah) and are 0-16 on the road against Western Conference teams with winning records"
