Although I know it would be more correct to say that the Suns control their own destiny, I am a Rockets fan, and I must say that we control our own destiny largeley because we have a favorable schedule. If we win the remaining four games (which does not seem completely impossible) we will be in the drivers seat because if Phoenix loses two or more we will be in. If we win 3 out of 4, Phoenix also has to lose 3 or more games, which once again isnt out of the question. Our toghest game is tonights game in Utah. If we can go in there and get this win, we can definitely go on a 4 game winning streak which would match our 2nd longest of teh season. We have our next two toughest games at home and close out the season away against the leagues least talented team. If we win all four, Phoenix will have to beat soem damn good teams to make it, but if they can finish off teh rest of their season without losing 2 or more games with the schedule they have..then they deserve it. I just dont want us to lose 3 out of four and give them an easy cakewalk into the playoffs...If they are gonna make it...lets make them earn it.

That alone should be enough strive to win the rest of this seasons games. The last thing you want to do is just give the Suns a spot, make them earn it, and maybe they will get an extra umph from the competition and actually do something in the playoffs. (The same for the Rockets of course )
