March 28, 20187 yr and the clippers win to hold on to their hopes of the 8 seed. i don't think it really matters much who finishes #8, but i'm rooting for them anyway.
March 28, 20187 yr 1 over the warriors for #1 in the west (should happen when they beat the suns on friday). 2 over the raptors for #1 in the nba.
March 28, 20187 yr Yup. Would love to play the Clippers or Twolves. Either one of them should be an easy sweep or gentleman's sweep. CP3 getting back at LAC would be fun to watch.
March 28, 20187 yr Some dissection of how the Rockets are attacking the modern Pick N Roll defenses. Pretty cool to see, as this is one of the most effective offense styles in the league, but the Rockets have a few extra tricks in their bag.

It seems so easy, but these players really have to understand angles in this offense.
March 30, 20187 yr Right, but if GS loses we clinch the one seed? Yes. We’d be up 7 with 7 to play. We have the tiebreaker.
March 30, 20187 yr man i'd rest everyone tomorrow. harden, paul, gordon, tucker, ariza, mbah a moute, anderson, nene and capela. i realize that's not entirely feasible, but i'd really prefer that harden, paul, ariza and capela take the night off. Edited March 30, 20187 yr by BigOrange1
March 30, 20187 yr 3 minutes ago, BigOrange1 said: yes! lots of rj hunter and markel brown (is he still with the team??) too. Still on a two way contract so yes.
March 30, 20187 yr Rockets lock up the #1 seed in the West! This will never get old: Edited March 30, 20187 yr by Dutchrudder
March 30, 20187 yr Still need to beat PHX & the Pendejos to lock out Canadia for the #1 overall seed.
March 30, 20187 yr Getting the 1 seed over this historically great GSW team is a remarkable achievement. Will only be remembered if we beat them over 7 games though.

March 30, 20187 yr Anticlimactic to clinch the west #1 on an off day but i will take it. What is the magic number over Toronto for best overall? 1?
March 30, 20187 yr Magic number vs Toronto is 2. Assuming we win tonight, we could clinch tomorrow if Toronto loses in Boston.

And on another note, the win streak to get up to 11 today courtesy of the hapless Suns. The Rockets still have Finals home court advantage (yes, I know that they need to get there first) to play for. So I think there won't be wholesale changes to the starting lineup (as there shouldn't be).
March 30, 20187 yr another couple wins and this list gets real interesting. http://www.landofbasketball.com/statistics/best_seasons.htm
March 30, 20187 yr I think the team wants to finish 68-14, I really think the vets hate losing more than not playing in meaningless games.

I think us Surly people also want the team to finish 68-14 too. Looking back, it could have been 70+ games. Oh well - but it don't mean a thing without the ring.

March 30, 20187 yr I would love to see Zhou Qi get a full game in one or two games hereThey sent Zhou to the G League on Wednesday

March 30, 20187 yr udontknow and chaos get their wish. Green starting tonight. Too bad they might not be able to bask in the glory that is GG unless they get the ATTSW alternate channel. Astros take precedence
March 31, 20187 yr Bill Worrell “Rockets try for the last shot” when there’s 6 more seconds on the game clock than the shot clock. Always driven me nuts.
