TUESDAY, 2/14/06 – After playing their best game of the season on Tuesday night in a blowout win over the Clippers, the Rockets played their worst Thursday night against the Phoenix Suns on national TV, losing 109-75. It really wasn’t even that close. At one point, the Suns had a 47-point lead in the third quarter.

All the gains the Rockets made wining 7 of their last 8 games entering this game were virtually wiped out with their most embarrassing loss since last year’s 40-point blowout against the Mavericks in Game 7 of the first round of the playoffs.

What a great way to go into the All-Star break…Not! I bet you T-Mac (10 points, 4-of-15 shooting) and Yao (6 points, 2-of-7 from the field) don’t feel like playing in the All-Star game after being part of such a bad loss.

The good thing is that if the Rockets somehow make the playoffs this season, chances are they will play the Spurs or the Mavericks, not the Suns. It will still be an early exit, but maybe just not as bad.
