Duncan had six boards, one offensive.

first it was not goal tending, second the refs had their whistles deep up their assholes on the majority of TP's travels, palmings, and flops.................

They ARE actually playing these guys and they ARE loosing.
OKC, Boston, Houston.
And falling.

They RESTED Duncan with Minnesota and guess what? They won.

At any rate, it is extremely unlikely to regain HCA.

Just watch the schedule.

Might as well rest the oldies and bet all your money that they might be ready for the playoffs.

It was goaltending.

At any rate, the refs didn't decide this one.

I didn't see the replay...I know it was close, but there were missed calls going both ways. Duncan dove on top of Battier to force the jump ball. That was definitely a foul. At any rate, I don't think it was a bad shot by Parker at the end...just a bad result. Parker was killing the Rox before that. The one layup right past Yao. UGLY Defense.

HCA was lost a long long time ago for the conference-but they still have the 2nd least amount of losses by a game so we still can pull off hca thru the first two rounds and then be away against lakes. So because we've lost these close games to boston and boston we should've looked back with 20/20 and said oh well you know we lost anyways so we shouldnt have played them.. Well duh, but we cant do that. Do you have any idea how many games coming up we'd probably lose if we sat say TD or parker where we would've wont with them? No, we don't but its very obvious u take another one of you best 3 players out on the bench we will have a hard time winning any games at all. Point is they don't have the luxury to sit/rest these players, the conference is too close-we could easily fall to 6.7. 8, maybe even not make the playoffs if we don't start playing better and have our best players out there.

All you have to do is avoid the 8 seed.
That can be done by winning 7, 7 games.

If you rest Duncan for 2 weeks and Parker for one, bring in Gooden and ahave Ginobili back in 2 weeks, that can be managed.

Anything else is just a waste of energy.

Take the next two games. Play Hill and the rest of the crew and you will win.
Next night in Atlanta: play the whole team and you will loose.

Assuming Manu is back, with a decent Duncan (rested for 2 full wekks, from now on)
Yes.

Loose in 6.

Without Duncan, no of course.

Lack of fire during the end of the games....u need the fire to win games which the spurs lack this time arnd and I think this is going to be a short lived post season...anything beyond that would be lucky!!

lol what a fan!

it wasnt even for sure it was a GT or not, and the refs were pretty biases on the spurs side, so many times Artest and Lowry drove in and drew a hell of contact nothing was called.

fuck that shit seriously

I don't see why ppl are sucking off the Rockets so much on nat'l tv or Spurs fans blowing up, because Houston still has one more loss than us, they are still technically third in the West. And Houston will lose some more games, seeing as how they have 3 of their next four at Utah, at Phoenix, and at the Lakers.

Well we can't win them all. We need to lose some to avoid that dreaded ego-monster. Plus, I was just saying we needed more of these last position situations to try out other options rather than Mas w/ the 3 point buzzer...nice play if it was actually more time that 0.3 because obviously that doesn't work...and of course if he would've made it too! But c'mon we all know too that Manu doesn't just bring in a whopping 3 points to the team...so these games are absolutely ours to win. We just need to come out w/ FIRE! && that looks inevitable now w/ this 2 loss streak..i'm sure their feeling that fire lit under their little booties! C'mon guys let's get it going!! =)

the Rockets finally have a team that doesnt rely on mcglass and they're showing it. no one outside of the Rocket's fanhood saw it...but now they are so....that's the reason for the "big coverage".

I knew the team was better without mcglass from the get-go. but now that they're in that 2 spot, the media decides to cover them. and by media, I mean, ESPN.

TECHNICALLY, its all done by winning percentages and until the SPURS winning percentage is HIGHER than the ROX...the Rox will have a better record.....TECHNICALLY speaking.

Please Mr. 168 posts. The Rockets will not stay at #2 for long...they have a tougher schedule, more games against plus .500 teams, and most of those games on the road. Have fun with the next game in Utah. :downspin:

Enjoy your March ship' Rockets fan.
