just shows that anyone picking a team after some regular season games is nuts. West is so close this year, 1-7 separated by 5 games, which means that the first seed isn't that much better than the lower seeds.
98 to 81 with 2:57 left

Cool Rockets have the tie-breaker with the Suns.
Final 101-88
No surprise here.
The Rockets ran the Suns into the ground....once we went to our small speed unit they couldn't keep up.
Aaron Brooks, Bjax, Landry and 2 others simply blew them away in the 2nd and 4th quarters....
The Rockets keep getting no respect but keep on winning..
And tonight...Battier rested his foot and ankle....
Nice

I never thought we'd be saying that about the Suns
Nice win HOU
The Rockets are just shooting some hoops, hitting the shot they are supposed to hit and winning the games they are NOT supposed to win, no surprise here
Wow... Bobcats Dynastys legacy lives on... 1892782 days too long.
Pop might want to take note of this game.
I don't think San Antonio has the pieces to go small and quick with their bench.......
Houston just has a very deep roster now.....

yeah, I'd be curious how to see the "speed" lineup of TD, Manu, Parker, Finley, and Udoka would work out.
Barry woulda helped
Damnit!
HOU needs to drop to 6th now!
Damnit!
I'm assuming the Rox pick and rolled Shaq to death? Kind of ironic that you beat Phoenix now by doing to them what they used to do to everybody else, run on them and pic and roll.
Not at all.....
Deke matched Shaq's minutes.......we did PnR, but against Hill and Diaw and Amare more than Shaq.
We played Shaq straight up, did not double off of Nash...tried to make him a scorer and the rest of the team stagnated.
Other than Amare, who was amazing, we contained their entire team...and we sorta contained him once we zoned up on the PnR with him and Nash.....
Actually it was surprisingly easy....and when we went to the bench and brought in Bjax, Brooks and Landry, we blew them out with athleticism and quickness.....
They tried Nash on Brooks and he ran Nash into the ground.....Nash was dead tired by the end of the game....he could not keep up.

It's funny how nobody remembers that the Suns blew out the Rockets a couple weeks ago without our best defender/McGrady defender (Raja Bell). You'd think by all these comments that the Rockets and Suns had never played each other before since the Shaq trade.
No doubt, you guys killed us in that game, but Aaron Brooks nor Landry was back and effective, and our bench needs them, it was our bench that made the difference tonight.
The Suns are still a threat, but I think people sleeping on Houston or counting them out is making a big mistake.

Are you trying to compare Phoenix minus Bell defeating the Rockets minus Yao to the Rockets without Yao AND Battier defeating ful-strength Phoenix?
I didn't hear anyone talking about the Suns being without Amare when we faced injury-plagued teams in '05-'06. Yao is out for the season. We're talking about the Suns versus the Yao-less Rockets. Suns without Bell is like Rockets without Battier. There is no reason to think the Yao-less Rockets are better than the Suns, based on this one game, when you consider the previous game.
Are you trying to compare Phoenix minus Bell defeating the Rockets minus Yao to the Rockets without Yao AND Battier defeating ful-strength Phoenix?
If the Rockets DID have Yao, then who knows what would happen. We can only guess.
Uhhhh, okay.
At least Amare got his STATs.
I watched the game and the rockets used the PnR in almost every play.
Yes but not with the man Shaq was guarding which was what Findog was implying.
We did not PnR with Shaq's man all that often because Deke is not a threat on the roll.

The Rockets are no doubt screwing things up for the Suns, Spurs, and Lakers by forcing 2 of those 3 to face each other in the 1st round.
Yep.
Pop needs to give Splitter to the Kings next year if they promise to beat NO and LAL)
