    I agree with the OP -- this was a VERY big win, because it was back and forth all game. The Rockets did NOT play their best basketball, but they did a great job keeping composure, and responding to every Warriors challenge.

    After watching tonight's game though, I can totally see why the Mavs lost to them last year. They just play like they're at the YMCA, throwing up shots from all over the court. The difference is that they have a lot of guys who can hit those shots, and when they get rolling, their momentum is just about unstoppable. When they went on that 7 points in 45 seconds run, I really thought we might not be able to slow them down. Thankfully, TMac, Landry, and Jackson were able to keep things together.

    The Warriors play with so much fire and passion . . . they're quick, they have a lot of guys who can shoot from all over the court, and they drive to the basket well too. They've got a heck of a team there, and they will make any first-round matchup a hard-fought battle.

    Bobby jackson is a clutch player. Definitly someone we could use in the 4th quarter of a close game. We shouldn't have too much problem closing out games now.

    I'm in Michigan at my beloved mothers and couldn't watch the game. I waited until it was over and logged unto the website to watch. Fantastic news and I'm glad I recorded it.

    It was a good road win. But the Warriors were getting all the shots they wanted and just couldn't convert on some big ones late. I was disappointed in our defense (particularly the work on the defensive boards). Fortunately we had some hot shooting from T-Mac and Bobby Jackson, and Landry had an amazing return.

    Landry is the difference maker!

    We we have been on a two game streak if he played in N.O.

    It stopped a potential slide after the winning streak and lets the team start building momentum for the playoffs. This was big.

    Boston game was a lot closer than the N.O. game. Against Boston we had chances to take control of the game in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. Plus we had the home crowd that would have been going crazy.

    I don't want the first seed either. Dallas PHX SA are nasty but we match up better against them. Don't count out New Orleans for that 7 spot either. Let the Lakers take on Golden State when they pull out all the stops. No one wants to have to beat Golden State four straight times.

    Definately a huge win, great confidence booster for our team considering the two wake up losses against the Celtics and Hornets.

    About the seedings, personally i feel this team can take on anyone in the west.. there is something special about them .. maybe im wrong but you know what, we will never know till april. :p

    Go Rockets i believe in 2nd rounds!!
