Slugs came back in the 3rd and I thought that was it for me. Nah, I probably put my chances at beating you at <5% especially since I just used playoff crunchtime.

As a Rockets fan, I hope our game doesn't go the way of the Rockets/Spurs series from last season!


GINOBILI! BLOCKS HARDEN!

Let's go Red Nation! Such a shame we lost our winning streak tonight against the Lakers.

As a fan it sucks, but I almost feel like the players are kind of relieved. They really haven't been playing as well as they're capable of the last few games, and I think they put a lot of pressure on themselves to keep the streak going. Maybe they can get back to playing better basketball. And they need to get back to playing DEFENSE again!

I've never been a big Harden fan. As a buzzerbeater player he would have an amazing skill set with atrocious D and atrocious stamina. I just have no room for someone like that on my team. When the game becomes difficult for him, he pouts. I will say though...he has been playing like a man possessed this season, and on the DEFENSIVE end. I really like seeing that. I think if Chris Paul can assume a leadership role on this team (which it looks like he might), they can be a real contender.

But yeah GO RED NATION! I started watching the Rockets as a kid in the late 80's. I was 13 & 14 years old when we went back to back in the 90's and Hakeem made David Robinson look like he had never even seen a basketball. I've been hooked on this franchise ever since.

I would agree. Injuries have begun to pile up and the streak wouldn't have lasted anyway. First place in the West? I'll take that any day of the week.

I haven't seen too many games lately, but in the ones I did watch, the Rockets would always pour it on in the second half, especially in the 3rd quarter. Harden gets plenty of flack for his effort on defense, but the past couple of seasons he's at least tried. I've heard that scoring PGs hate defending because it takes something out of them when they go back on offense.

I doubt they (or anyone else in the West) will get past the Warriors, but I believe the Rockets can give GSW a run for their money. I wasn't born when the Rockets went back to back, but I was old enough to remember when they first brought Yao over. If only T-Mac and Yao stayed healthy.

Thanks! I will do my best to rep the Big 8. You have an awesome team and are just a player or two away.

Good luck to you sir. I sort of hope you lose the series so that the dogs will promote and then maybe the eggies and sea slugs too.... clear the way for the rest of us next season... I'd like to have a chance at promotion next year... and I think I will. I picked up a new center after the deadline, and my own homegrown big is doing very well... I have my roster for next year, just hope to get one developable player in the draft....
