Hey maybe we can win a game this time!

This is a team that even we should be able to beat. I'm glad it's on TNT too because I do so enjoy the gems of wisdom that Kenny and Round Mound toss out there about the Rockets.

Perhaps our defense will actually show up for once. Crazy thought isn't it.

Go Rockets!

What are the odds that barky is already back to talking about how we're going to miss the playoffs?

IMO we are in danger of missing the playoffs or at the very least having no shot at HC.

There is a commercial with Barkley talking about this game and in it he says McGrady has to be a superstar. Superstars can't go 1 for 11 during a pivotal stretch of the game. There was noway we should have lost to the Kings b/c we did everything right up until it came time to seize the game. We played a good home team evenly and kept ourselves close. But when presented the chance to close out like playoff teams should we folded with bad shots against a poor defensive team.

I dunno what to expect tonight. There is no Roy but I just don't see this team getting swept in the season series by us. I think we have lost all our energy and have lost the things that helped us win games. The way we closed out teams on that streak. I saw flashes of it against GS but I have not seen it since in tough games. We are not a good team right now but we are catching a team on a back to back without their best player. If we don't take advantage of that we might as well not even show up for the playoffs.

This board just died in a matter of weeks. Remember when national TV games filled up game threads?

I'm expecting a loss, our defense has been horrible, offense has been pathetic and on the road against a very good home team with or without their best player seems like a perfect game to lose on national tv.

Like Barkley said...this is a must win. We are screwed IMO if we don't win.
