The Rockets hold home-court advantage against the Clippers in their upcoming second-round match-up, but that means very little in the grand scheme of things. Here's the Houston Chronicle's Jonathan Feigen with more from experienced Rockets guard Jason Terry on why that is:
“We got to come out with the necessary energy it’s going to take playing against a good, tough team that is coming out of a series their energy was high. This is not the Mavericks series where it kind of tapered off towards the end. You have to be ready to go from Game 1.”
Playing at home is always better than playing on the road, but every team still alive in these NBA playoffs is good enough to win in any environment imaginable. The Rockets can't rely on the fact that a potential Game 7 will be held in their building. They must play every game, in both cities, as if it's their last.
