    seriously guys...we can't predict how this will turn out..

    remember when yao went out...what were the chances we were going to continue this streak??

    we can only pray, that in that locker room, someone is brave enough to speak the truth and tell the whole team, what needs to be done...

    i hope a rocket is reading this...we should all act as motivational speakers..and our job as fans is to encourage them....

    CMon...let's do it for yao...who knows?? maybe he might play a little bit...

    If the rockets are really focused and concentrate on what they want and will do
    then its a good sign for the playoffs, like the winning streak, they played teams like hornets and lakers and they came out and played, played, played their hearts out. they just wanted it every second. they knew they can do it if they play like that and put teams away and they will get time for every playoff game to practice, rest, focus,..... you know their chemistry is goood.every fan right here lets believe it, count on them and get the toyota center fired up! and dont come in here and post things like ohh they gonna lose to the clippers and then to utah.... :eek:
    so lets do it rockets :cool:
    i just wanted to say that ;)

    I was thinking the same exact thing, but I have to watch just to see how mad I can get and how far I can throw my remote.

    Clippers are playing for nothing and Rockets are playing for very important HCA.

    That's a tough situation to be in but at least we play Clippers, not Spurs or something like that. I hope out guys will be motivated.

    sometimes he shoots a bit strange he has to get back to his old rythm
    and he takes stupid jumshots instead of driving to the rim and dunk it or lay it up or draw a foul

    I love the Rockets, but you are obviously over invested emotionally. Remember the Rockets are a Houston sports team, keep this in perspective. It is all just for fun. It is a kind of fantasy. If they lose tonight, I will make some ugly comments on this board and then go to bed and sleep like a baby. ;)

    I don't see the Spurs beating the Jazz. The Jazz are tough. The Rockets should win, but their fate is still in the hands of others.

    Don't worry, Rocket fans. Mike Tankleavy is playing for lotto balls and he's not gonna risk dropping out of the coveted #5 (worst) spot just to ruin your seeding. Plus, the Clippers couldn't beat the Rockets if they tried. We are awful.

    Blow them out real early and rest some guys. Take T-Mac and Scola out asap. Get Novak warm out there. He'll be vital in this playoff run. He's capable of giving us 4-5 3's in very limited time. Those are beyond backbreakers, those are nails on the cross. Give Brooks some time handling the ball and running the offense. With Rafer out, Brooks is gonna see is fair share of huge minutes this weekend and beyond.

    I predict Steve Novak hits 6 3s tonight for his season high in points.

    Count it.

    i'm a little uncomfortable. everyone is taking this game as a gimme. and on the chronicle or somewhere i read today, the players are sort of hoping to draw the suns... not the right mentality...

    Novak hit 12 of his last 21 three pointers in the last 6 Rockets games.

    Find me another three point shooting God.
