Key games tonight: Phoenix at New Orleans - Rockets gain a half game on one of them no matter what the outcome. Detroit at Utah - Go Pistons!
If NO loses that gets us closer to winning the division, which would guarantee a top 4 spot (that is how the seeding works right? If so, go Suns!)
We're not winning the division. The Spurs are red hot and have a favorable schedule now that the Rodeo Road Trip is out of the way.
wow phoenix sucks now. that shaq trade is turning out to be disastrous. not only does he not help on D, the O isn't that much better either. utah is going to lose too.
i havent read all the comments but to me if the rockets are gonna do good, chuck hayes is gonna have to come in huge. now that Yao is out Chuck is gonna be getting alot of playing time and i sure do hope he is up to the task bc if he can partially make up defensively what we lose bc of Yao then the Rockets still have a chance to make alot of noise.
im optamistic.. scola is a polished veteran and i think he will be able to hold is own in the offensive end. lets wait and see. im still optamistic about the season

Spurs and Lakers both lost today! Only 1/2 game behind SA and only 1 game behind LA for first place!!! It would be crazy if we went from 10th to 1st in 2 months in the hardest Western Conference in the history of the NBA...Keep up the good work Rockets!!!
