    They ain't beating the Warriors.

    If they beat the Hawks and the Spurs, that'd be sweet, but I'd really enjoy it if they could just take care of business against teams that should be easy wins.

    Rockets stand 0 chance to win Warriors.

    Thornton will be in JB's doghouse again

    Dmo will play about 15 mins.

    JB is still an idiot on calling timeout.

    We will lose this game in final minute.

    Hawks look horrible tonight. Lots of poor turnovers and only 40 pts at the half

    Is this a reverse jinx? If so, way to do it.

    With that attitude you have no chance... You think the rockets believe they can't beat the Warriors? Maybe it's our fans spreading this loser mentality around?

    Hawks are terrible, Rox will win. Spurs are undefeated at home so will see about that. Rox will beat the Warriors if they played like they did against the Cavs.

    They are still moving the ball very well. Both Horford and Millsap can give you 3 or 4 apg each.

    They are not a particularly good defensive team (average) and a bad rebounding team.

    All depends how they shoot the 3 ball (Korver isn't stellar this season but still good)

    They aint terrible, they just closer to mediocrity with a record 20-13

    The East has better records overall when you do not count in the Warriors and Spurs. (and in case you count in those two teams)

    I'm in Kennesaw (just outside of Atlanta) at my sister's place for the holidays. Can we switch this to an away game?

    winning 2 of the next 3 is exactly the problem this team has, play up to good, play down to bad, and that's mostly because the defense can't smother bad this year
