Forget everything else, therre is ONE reason why the Rockets blew this game.

I don't care about any of that. All I care about is playoff hopes. We're 5 to 6 games behind in the division, (the Denver game was REALLY important) and there is no more time to 'gel'. Either the Rox are there or they aren't. If they're there then they win the next 4 (Grizz, Hornets, Heat, Clips) and pray that Minnesota and Denver stumble a couple of games.

If we can eke out a playoff spot this season - even if it's a #8 early exit - I will be pleasantly surprised with this franchise's rebuilding efforts.

And if we miss the playoffs for a second year, I'll just think how fun next year will be. No point in doing otherwise...

Not to sound like a disloyal fan, but I can't wait until Hakeem's contract runs out. All that money, FAs... Guess I sound more like a slobbering dog. A hungry, slobbering dog...

Just think, if the Rockets had managed 72 points in regulation, they would have won. I think their 34% shooting is the reason they lost. Hakeem played well for missing the number of games he did (although his 2 missed free throws did not help).

You might be right. He sounds just like him...

WooHoo! The season's here!....I'm still gonna need that keg of Pepto-Bismol.
