It is quite a coincidence that our next three games are against the three teams that are right above us in the playoffs: Portland, Utah and GSW. What do you think our record will be? I am thinking we beat Portland and Golden State and lose to Utah.
These are 3 VERY IMPORTANT GAMES We have to go 2-1, AT LEAST. Portland is a toss up, depending on how we play Jazz @ home, Jazz suck on the road Warriors, eh I dunno bout this one.
We played the GS without Tmac last time right? This was also right after TMac got hurt, so Rick hadn't really had the team clicking very well yet. I mention all of this because I think we played them well for 3.5 quarters last time, and then SJax went off on us from every place on the floor. Just adding Tmac raises our chances, let alone the emergence of Brooks and Landry. We haven't played great basketball the last two games, but we still rose to the occasion when it mattered. I say 3-0 which might put us in the 8th spot, or at least very close.
T-mac plays the 4th Q and looks good. How about Yao? I hope he plays 1st Q as the 4th Q w/o t-mac. Plays 3rd Q as the 1st Q w/o t-mac. Leave the 2nd Q to Landry, etc. If so, I'll say 3-0.
It's really kind of bizarre that there are four teams vying for the bottom two spots in the playoffs, and here the Rockets are play their three rivals in a row. Obviously this is win or go home time. You have to really hope that they can pull out wins against Portland and Utah, because GS gives the Rockets fits.
