If We can win these next two games against Boston and Minnesota, that will be a big statement. Over the past few years we have had big problems with these two teams. If we can win these two, we may just catch Phoenix. ------------------ "The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation's history. I mean in this century's history. But we all lived in this century. I didn't live in this century." -Dan Quayle
Absolutely right! If the Rockets lose either one of these games, the playoffs are completely out of the question. They must beat both teams, especially Minnessota. ------------------ "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning how to put food on their family while being put to death."
With this many games left in the season, and the lead in the playoff race so tight, no one game right now is make or break. The only way the Rockets get eliminated from the playoffs in the next two games is if Francis or Mobley have season-ending injuries, otherwise, even going 0-for-2 won't be crippling. ------------------ The Rockets will be the NBA champions. Believe.
The problem is that these games are all "break" games but that we have to win quite a few of them to make them "make" games. ------------------ Why is it that everytime BC defeats a major conference opponent, that opponent promptly goes on a losing streak? PS. Notre Dame sucks
Precisely, Haven. Losing any one of these games could cost the Rockets a playoff birth. WInning them guarantees nothing. ------------------ "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning how to put food on their family while being put to death."
As long as they win 2 out of 3 in the next 3 games I think they'll be fine. The minnesota game is going to be tough. If they do win the Minnesota game that would be HUGE. I think they will win the Portland game at home, but the Minnesota game is the one I worry about. By the way, 2 games dont make or break a teams chances at the playoffs. If they were 2 games out with 2 games to go, THEN thats make or break. ------------------
oh CMON! we can beat boston! (even though they kicked our ass last time, but hey, who says we have to look back?) We will win at least one out of two. Minnesota is doubtful, but you never know (if Hakeem comes to play). ------------------
