    It's amazing that Rockets can simply get into playoff by beating all the lottery opponents and not have to win a single game against playoff teams.

    Not bad predictions.

    That means the game against the Suns is obviously a huge one. What is our head to head record with them this year? It might boil down to the tiebreaker.

    I really think the Suns game is 50/50.

    Rockets lead the series so far 2-1. So the final game is pivotal towards clinching the 8th seed if the Suns and Rockets were to have the same record. The last time the Rockets faced off, they won pretty convincingly against the Suns on their homecourt, granted it was without Penny Hardaway.

    Thanks.

    One thing for sure is that Phx will bring their A-game. Hopefully we follow suit.

    Well, if Cat made the 2 FTs at the end of Rox's first game against Suns, Rox would lead the series 3-0.

    I believe the game against the Suns in the coming week is the deciding game. If Rox can win, Rox will make the playoff. If Rox lose, Rox will miss the playoff.
