Blazers are tanking tonight’s game to avoid OKC. Lilliard and McCollum sitting. Motherfucker we will get OKC first round, the Bucks are tanking tonight also against Thunder. Easy W. Nuggets are playing the worthless TWolves

Worst case scenario

It doesn't matter what round the Rockets play the Warriors. Or am I not seeing something obvious? They won't have home court either way.

More eyes in the WCF, changes the way it's officiated

Fuck OKC, they aren't going to be the issue. Playing the Warriors in the WCF instead of round 2 is the biggie

Obviously OKC isn’t the issue... the issue is that beating OKC will take 6-7 hard fought games, rather than 4-5 easier games against the Jazz/Spurs/Clippers.

Then you have the Nuggets and then the Warriors. Really needed that 4 seed.

You guys are REALLY over blowing OKC. It took alast second three AT HOME for okc to win and every year people do this and once the playoffs start they remember. Houston will beat OKC 4-1. Westbrook hasn't done jack shit in the playoffs because he will try and take over the series and blow it. I'm not saying we will win every game by 20-30 points but there isn't a matchup in the West that is considered "easy". Stop being pussies about teams like Now This is. He thinks we will lose to basically everyone and says "Oh no they are a scary matcup". Only team I am worried about is the Warriors.

i want the 2 or 3 seed so they play denver in the 2nd round -- don't give a shit who the play in the first round.  think utah is just as tough as okc.

I'm more worried about OKC than GS. OKC has the defensive length to bother Houston.  Houston plays GS better bec GS is softer on D.  Everyone else in the West is cake for Houston, even though I worry about Yoda (pops).

You’re crazier than I am

intensive breakdown of the other 7 teams

GS - can be had, Houston can solve their D.  If KD takes a lot of 3s, I like Rox chance

OKC - long fast athletic defenders who make Houston shoot low % and beat Houston on the glass. Very hard to beat

Utah, Denver, LAC - soft as my 600lb life

Portland - athletic but not enough tough guys, Houston won't have much of an issue. 

Spurs - beware the POP , this will go 6 .  Good thing Manu is gone.

You must not remember past NBA conference finals and they way the refs were.

I would feel more confident about them getting back to the WCF if this team doesn't show tendencies to go brain dead so often (my perception).

Has to be, right?

Also OKC (without PG13) is about to win in Milwaukee and that puts them into the 6th seed. There's a good chance the Rockets will see them in the first round and they don't need a physical match up this early in the playoffs.

OKC is an average team with a dogshit offense.  Last night was a fluke.  Utah is the better team on offense and defense. Portland is doing us a favor and it’s gonna be hilarious when they get cucked by Utah in the first round.

The Rockets really need Faried to play against them to hopefully even out the rebounds. They got way too many 2nd chance points. I think you have to play Faried and Capela together because when we switch Capela to a perimeter player, Gordon is going to get destroyed against Adams and Grant.

I am doing the same. Go T-Wolves!

I don't understand at all why Portland wants to play the Jazz in the first round for the chance to play the Warriors in the 2nd.

I also don't think the Thunder will give the Rockets any trouble in the first round if that is the match up. 6 games max but I kinda doubt it gets that far.

You Rockets boys ready for this heat? Pop still has a couple lessons to teach ol' mustache Mike.

Lmao you like your chance against GS over OKC? 

Fuck. This is nail biting shit.

Sacramento not even playing the fucking 4Q.

Yeah Denver ain't going away quietly. Would love to see yall in the 2nd round though.

Well... the Wolves are who we thought they were (sorry for the thread hijack btw - other threads are dead)

I can't really blame the T-Wolves here considering the Rockets blew a bigger 4th quarter lead yesterday.

Twolves so bad - 4th seed for Rockets.

At least I got down on the Thunder +450 in the 4th

Couldn’t cash in on this

Kings aren't going away.

Wiggins got hacked hard there and the refs didn't call it. Just cost them the game.

That was one play. One play doesn't make the game.

holy fuck i had no idea portland had come back. 

Kings sat their starters in the 2nd half.

They started the 4th qtr on a 30-6 run.

Not like anything good was going to come of Wiggins cluelessly jumping into 3 defenders.

Here's to hoping the Rockets take care of the Jazz swiftly. A gentleman's sweep at worst.

Rockets put themselves in this position. Lots of people are already writing them off, even as 1st round losers. Gotta prove em wrong
