    This Houston game is going to be HUGE on Thursday night.

    Portland currently has a 2 game lead in the standings. If Houston wins, it's down to 1. If Portland wins, it will be 3 AND Portland will have the head-to-head tie breaker effectively pushing it to a 4-game lead in the standings over the 9th placed team for the playoffs.

    Regardless of playoff or standings implications I want to beat the Rockets. I love beating the Rockets.

    Lucky for me the Rockets love beating the Rockets too.

    This is a trap game if I've ever seen one. Rockets are playing horribly but they're talented as hell on paper. Plus they've got a guy that's consistently killed us in the regular season. A few shots go down, they get some confidence, and it's going to be a loooooooooooong night.

    Plus it's a TNT game... Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems we generally don't play well when on TNT. Please prove me wrong!

    I think we usually play really well on TNT.

    I think we always play the Rockets on TNT at home as well. It's been like this for a few years.

    I hope you're right! I'm nervous about this game...and I generally don't care about individual regular season games. But I want that tie breaker!
    Besides: fuck the Rockets!

    I'm less interested about the tiebreaker as I am continuing to stomp on the Rockets, haha.
