    Yep, even though it doesn't mean as much as it used to, the Rockets clinched their division today.

    Onwards and upwards....2 more wins for best Rox reg season ever.

    Congrats to the Rockets... it's awesome, but...

    The NBA has really marginalized divisions. In order to make the whole conference fair, they've made it so divisions are essentially meaningless. They're flirting with doing the same to conferences if they proceed with this 1 to 16 seeding idea.

    Are you sure they didn't clench it?

    And here's the Lawler's Law Dagger that clinched it

    We've got a really tough schedule left. Next 3 on the road against teams that will give their all for their playoff positioning or survival. 2 more against Portland and Pelicans each. 1 more against OKC, Wizards, TWolves and Spurs(with kawhi possibly). I will be severely disappointed if we dont get our first franchise 60 win season and head into the playoffs in a big slump.

    I like this concept:
    I would want the Clippers in all honest just to embarrass Austin Rivers.

    Even after that dagger, Harden stayed after the game for more shooting

    Awesome. One of many goals we accomplished this season as a Rockets fan to cherish. Next up is to lock up the #1 seed and have home court advantage through out this year's playoffs. Ultimate Goal for this season will be an NBA Championship. Go Rockets

    Those division champ shirts look awful. Congrats to the Rockets for yawning their way to a division title.

    It’s very impressive to me. Only the second division title I ever witness as a rockets fan, so it means something to me
