    Ugh :mad::eek::mad: now that we are winning there's less people committing suicide, less blaming the poster boy and knee jerk reactions. :p Which is a good thing for the Garm

    Problems Memphis just kept winning too and wont faze out like they used too during the stretch unlike the previous years past. If they kept on beating the Mavs, Boston and Lakers of the world without RGay, then we dont have any chance at all even if we win all of our remaining games.

    We are screwed if we lose to one of two of the cupcakes/trap games ....

    Other notes too touch on ..... theres just not enough playing times going on in the nba and bench/lates 1st-2nd round players (squid Twill :rolleyes:) don't have time to showcase their skills. Unless that is you are the top pick or proven players or a major injury happens.

    I mean hmm who would have thought that Klow7 would be above .20% shooting this year and a starting pg instead of you know who? Gerald Henderson showing potential which triggers the Gerald Wallace trade. All out centers getting injured :rolleyes:which triggers the up and coming Chuckwagon at C 6'6 .... 2Pat and other undiscovered gems and stars. Could be another prime RLEws, GArenas, CBoozer, CLandry DROdman, TAriza :rolleyes: , MGasol, MEllis, PMillsap or our very own Luis the ice cream man to name a few.

    I would do anything as long the Rox makes it to the postseason, get experiences for the young ones and generate playoff ticket revenue for our owner to pay for picks again and who knows Morey will get another hidden lucky gems. So anyone do a voodoo curse on the Norleans, or the Grizz please lol.

    Rant over

    MEM and NOH still play each other twice, so hopefully we can gain ground on either of them.

    We play NOH once, so have to win as much as we can and hope somebody else is fighting for their life and defeat the teams we're trying to catch.

    We still have a chance!

    We need one of those teams to win twice. I don't care who it is but if one of them wins twice the remainder of the rest of their scheduls should include 2 or 3 more losses. And means we can only lose one more game and that ain't to Miami. Miami is a must win if we lose that I think it's over.

    Calm down. What's their fan's reaction when we beat Boston the other night?

    This.

    I would be fine with Chase starting and bring Battier off the bench.

    I just don't like giving Memphis a prove veteran leader who helps win games. :mad:

    Oh my, the Griz just beat the Celts. That just nullified our big win against the greens.

    Both us and Memphis are really stepping it up. We are playing well, but it's looking tougher and tougher to get #8 with Memphis continuing to win. We have to make up 2 games. We would win in a tie breaker against Mem, but 2 games is a big gap the way that Memphis are playing.

    I say we get in over the Hornets, their schedule is brutal.

    You do know they play the Bulls next and then the Spurs. If they win both of these games coming up, then it will be very hard to catch up to the Grizzlies and time to look at the Hornets.

    Eek, that's going to be tough. Given that we still have Miami, San Antonio and Dallas in our schedule. Not to mention, other teams that the rockets have traditionally struggled against like Philly, New Orleans and Atlanta(still on the schedule). Also the Clipps and T-Wolves both mange to beat the Rockets this season, and we still have a game against those two in our schedule as well.

    I mean from a realistic standpoint I give the rockets at best a 30% chance of making the playoffs not baring any injury. I just don't really see us making it.
