Sure we shouldn't have lost to the Clippers, but the Rockets were probably carrying the hard loss from the Kings with them. We still have about maybe 18 games left, anything can happen. Even if nothing does, at least it gives us confidence heading into next season. Sure we were all expecting to head into the playoffs this year, we are just fortunate to have a winning record, considering their poor play last season. Rebuilding is hard for the fans and with a solid offseason we will improve anymore. No doubt these losses may be hard to bear especially since we were carrying such high levels of optimism for their potential. Just remember, rebuilding takes time and that we have already improved much more dramatically than the Bulls and the Celtics have since their championship seasons. ------------------ ""Minnesota and Phoenix, they're like the little teen-agers in the Friday the 13th movies.

they have 13 games left, and sure they can do it, but the rockets no longer control their own destiny. ------------------ http://www.democrats.com mgh 1925-2001
I agree. The Rockets are learning some tough lessons this season. Playoffs or No Playoffs...this experience will help us down the stretch next season. The playoffs are a reward, and I will not be upset if we aren't one of the eight teams. Sure, I hope we get it but we are building something here - only one missing piece is needed in the offseason ------------------
We still gut a shot for playoff but the rockets just can't afford to loose 2 games at least. Very tight race gentleman! ------------------ Rudy T. will find and fulfill Rockets destiny.
