    A win almost guarantees a winning road trip. A loss does the opposite.

    Rockets owes PHX a home loss. Let's get it!!

    Time to get back on track. The Rockets can't start a losing streak in the stretch run. Won't be easy, but this a winnable game. Surely Howard won't be shut out again. Going to be very, very tough, but got to have it.

    Isn't that always the case? :)

    The game should start around 8 pm Central. Of course, one always needs to add 10-15 minutes to the advertised tip-off time. :rolleyes:

    I hope Harden is 100% healthy because i only trust him to curry us.

    Yeah and we're already lost there this season and the game here that we won was real close despite them being on the 2nd night of a back to back. Rockets just don't match up well against them for some reason.

    Just a small correction tehG l i d e, both of the previous 2 games were played in Houston.

    I expect a fun game (and the Suns victory of course).

    Suns are playing really well and are currently on a 3 game win streak that culminated with a Spurs blowout on friday. What’s even better is that we won the Spurs game, despite Goran playing his worst game of the season.

    After the AS break and “no trades” decision by our GM, the rest of the guys really stepped up and started playing a lot better, so Rockets are gonna have to do a lot more than just stop Goran, this time around. Green, Frye and the twins, have all been playing really well and will probably pose the main offensive danger for Houston.

    I expect a high scoring affair, with the winner scoring at least 105 pts. Last time around Houston three-pointers and Dwight’s free throws secured the victory, so for the Suns defending the three point line and not giving away too many FTs will be the key.

    This one’s a biggie! Portland, Clippers and Houston all have 37 wins and the Suns would love to gain on them and get some separation from GSW. Between us in the 6th spot and Memphis in 9th, there’s only 0.047 PCT difference.

    As long as Phoenix stay 6th or below where they belong, it's all good.

    We seem to play better when Dwight carries us or both of them even better. Or did literally mean you trust him to douse us with exotic spices and cook us up?
