If Golden State win, expect to see a lot of Warriors fans urging us on to win.

If we beat Denver, Golden State is back in control of their playoff destiny.

Anyway, the Nuggets will be on a back-to-back and they were beaten pretty bad by the Jazz.

If we can lock them down, we will be well on our way to victory.

Go Adelman!

This is a huge game for us also.

If we win we will have the same record as both the Lakers and Hornets.

PLEASE go undefeated to finish the season Rockets. If we finish in first we ARE going to the second round. We've dominated the Nuggets this year.

Let's win this one for Warrior fans!

Is Battier playing? He's the only one that can remotely at least limit Melo from going crazy on us especially at home. That might really change the outcome of the game whether he plays or not.

I'm not sure on this game, they're fantastic at home and we're a little banged up and the stakes of this game are much larger for Denver which they've shown they can win in that type of pressure. I don't really have a great feeling on this game. Hopefully I'm wrong, for our sakes and for Warrior fans.

I don't care about anybody else to tell you guys the truth I just want to win this game for us , we really need it.
If we lose this game I can't see us beating the Jazz because they know how important that game is for them and it's on their home floor.
Then we gonna need to rely on the Spurs to beat the Jazz in the final game of the season so we will have homecourt , so hopefully the Spurs lose to the Lakers , that way the last game will be more important for them.
And we are not getting 1st seed people , I doubt we can win all 3 and NO has a game left against the Clippers which they will surely win and the Lakers have a home game against Sacramento.
If we win tonight , we got home court , if we don't we are in trouble.

I hope the players understand how important this game is because if we lose there is a good chance we will face the Suns in the 1st round.
I'd hate to see that.

Be honest with you. Now I rather face the Suns than the Jazz.

On the other hand, many warriors rout us to win this game but think about it twice: If we make the #1 seed to matchup #8 seed. I'd rather face denver than warriors. As a team, I like warriors than Denver.

That's why David Stern should reconstruct the seeding system of the west and east.
