We should win....unless they unleash Jimmer Fredette who scored 24 over NY in 27 minutes as a Kings. We should have gotten him as a deadly 3 pt sniper at 49.3% leading the NBA. Instead the Bulls got him to boost up their shooting. The Bulls is among the worst in shooting but among the best in defense. That's why they signed Jimmer. I doubt Jimmer will get minutes though being so new to the team.
We have to win every game we should from here on out to retain this third seed. The only remaining losses should be against Oklahoma City, Miami and the Clippers. Everyone else we should beat.
It won't be easy, but I think the Rockets win this one. Glad they're in Chi-town, so Beverley gets some time with family and friends. This has got to have been an intense week for him, with all the media attention, and then the game last night.
I hope Rockets wakes up early on this one. They are caught sleeping time and time again. As a real contender, this isn't tolerable anymore. If Howard and Lin can't play at least at 85%, they should sit. They should be ready for the playoffs. Playoffs is just around the corner.
No ones ever won a title by beating up on the tankers and the pretenders. I don't mind if we don't get the 3rd seed provided that we prove we can beat any team on any given night. In the playoffs we aren't going to avoid both OKC, and LAC without a miracle, not to mention San Antonio won't be the same team that we played in the regular season. We will need some quality wins and I hope we work out all the kinks against good teams on this stretch.
We just need to score. Bulls have almost no offense past Noah's hustle and passes and the biweekly "DJ Augustine is on fire" game. This is going to be a game of the boards. We must keep Noah, Gibson, Butler and Boozer off the offensive glass.
if the Rockets can win 5 games for every loss in the remaining 18 games, they'll pass the 58 win mark at 59. I'll take that.

I don't know about everyone else but after the week we had I could take this thunder lost. I also like the fact that they did not quit at all in the ball game. Can't lie but cant wait for this streak of hard games to be over even thought I've enjoyed every bit of it but I'm afraid of any injuries and tired legs heading into the playoffs especially since mchale is giving harden and parsons heavy minutes. Let's hope for a easy win so that are starters get some well deserved rest! H-TOWN
This is really a needed win since Houston will likely lose to Miami. Can't have their first 3 game losing streak at this time.
I agree this is a game they need to win, but Miami is reeling right now. It's not unthinkable that the Rockets win there on Sunday. I'm curious what happens with Wade in that game. The Heat play Friday night and then face the Rockets on Sunday afternoon. That's not technically a B2B for them, but they won't have a full 2 days between games. Do they sit him against Denver and save him for us(like they did when LeBron dropped 61 on Charlotte)? Or does he play both games.
um wat? have you even been watching miami recently? Brooklyn just won at miami without Garnett, Lopez, AK47
