no preview? Anyways, I really think this is THE most important game for the Rockets to win, right before the break. If they lose it some nice momentum would be lost...
We lost....we are down 8-19 in the 1st quarter with 5:30 left...All 8 points go to McGrady. Bad start to bad finish. I have all my money on Phoenix.
OMG THEY KEEP LEAVING THEM OPEN ON THE PERIMETER.. Look for a season high for Kurt Thomas, Marion and Bell! ERR THE ROCKETS ARE SO FRUSTRATING TO WATCH RIGHT NOW. Why can't JVG just adjust is defense for the Phoenix suns! Good thing we have Alston.
Can we say its safe to start losing games? We still have to play Phoenix 1 more time this season. They will crush us that game as well. No way we will make the playoffs. If we keep pushing we will regret it. The last game of the season will be against SA, and lets say it came down to that. If SA was #1 seed (most likely to happen) they will do everything in their power to stop us and play the Lakers or NO. Imagine how much that would hurt a Rockets fan. Missing it by the last game to SA. Ouch. woa I have got to calm down. I am not gonna watch the second half just so I wont shoot myself...

Man we sucked!!!. Im 100% sure we wont make playoffs this year... The only reason we are on a streak was bcoz we played sry teams excpet Clipps.. Rockets cant compete with good teams.. Yao only 3 damn shots.. He got Kurt Thomas on him... Give him the ball more. Howard only 1 shot.. Both yao and juqan got 0 points..and wesley also.. We got our @$$ kicked!..

Seems like Rockets still no match to those good teams like Detroit, San, and Suns. I just hope all Rocket players can stay healthy until this season ends, I don't expect anything more. Let's see if Rockets can get a good draft this yr. Also, Yao Ming should work harder. Physically and metally. I know every player has a bad game sometimes, but 6pts and 1 rebound at the end of third quater is outrageous for a player with max contract.
.................i actually got a laugh when i saw how suns hits 300% of their shots <div class="quote_poster">Quoting perrypan:</div><div class="quote_post">Seems like Rockets still no match to those good teams like Detroit, San, and Suns.

47-88!!!! This is too much to take. The Rockets seems to play defenseless and ofenseless on the other side. It would be an embarrassment for the All Star Game host if they continue to slide and shoot some more bricks. I already accept the loss but I hope it would be a more respectable one compared to the Bulls-Sixers game.

Down by 45 at the end the third. Worst margin of defeat in NBA history is 68 points. Hopefully, we don't break that record. This is exactly the kind of team we should have played Chuck Hayes a lot of minutes.
The question is: why didn't I go to sleep at 4 AM before the match started? Oh no, wait, better question: why I'm still here, at 6 AM, with the Rockets down by 45 at the end of the third?
