    I've been checking over the schedule and if San Antonio is able to overcome Memphis, this is what we're in for, according to my analysis.

    Sorry guys. :(

    This is where we see how competitive the Rockets really are. Ryan Anderson needs to step up his game because they will need him here.

    Not worried.

    We just overcame Mr. Triple Double MVP.

    Shake it off, shake it off....

    The Rox will say, no contender will want to face us in the deeper realms of the playoffs!

    Many deadbeat fans around here will say that we get swept in all 3 series coming up.... 0-12 is the prediction. I'm SERIOUS!

    No we didn't, he out Trip-dubbed us 3-0 (and 1 assist away from being 4-0)

    It was a sweep. :( Thunder-Spurs/Grizz starts Monday.

    [GOOD NEWS] Playing against contenders in second round of playoffs much better than being blown out in the first round.(remember last year)

    I for one am excited to be playing a team in the second round where a victory is considered an accomplishment. Beating OKC was good, but it was expected by everyone. Beating San Antonio would get some people's attention.

    I think you saw the schedule wrong. We only play contenders for the next 12 games and I'm already bored.

    Well it will determine whether we ARE a contender or not.

    You know what this means ... from here on out, when we lose a game it's because we aren't a real contender, and when we win it's Fool's Gold because we don't have a chance to win the title this year, because we aren't a real contender.

    You know how I know that ... because it's been the narrative for the regular season, too.

    It is a matter of possible vs. probable: there is a lot of possible, but a small amount of probable. They should be loose because NO ONE but Rocket's fans like us expects them to win. If I were DA, I would tell them just that. Go out there and make it your playground. Relax, have fun, free stroke and defend like your career depended on it. Shock and awe!
