    Looks like the Rockets have been reading Kingspeed's posts.

    Season over! We're not going to win anymore games.

    I've got a feeling this is who we'll see in the first round of the playoffs. In our two losses against them this year, they've really blitzed us in the opening quarter. A strong start is a must for Portland tonight.

    Biggest game of the year. We can't let Houston win season series. Houston is hot. We haven't beat a winning team on the road in a long time. We simply must win this game.

    Look at what they list as Portland's record.

    If we win this game, we will likely have tie breaker because we have 12-3 division reord with one division game remaining (against Utah). Rockets are 9-4 with 1 division game remaining (Spurs). Of course, if Rockets win division, then they would have tiebreaker over us. The point is if we win this game, we are in great shape.

    Believe division record tie-breaker only applies to teams in the same division. It would go then to Conference record, IIRC.

    It would be a fantastic road win and I hope it happens, but I don't think we NEED to win.
