    I want the 6th seed. Denver will drop to 3. We can go from there.

    The accuracy of officiating is not relevant to the rockets playing well

    Would you rather be the 3 seed and beat the jazz or spurs and then get creamed in the second round by OKC or Denver

    OR would you rather be the 6/7th seed and lose in the first round to one of those teams

    I think path 1 offers tilman a chance to say ... hey we were close to where we wanted to be , just had some bad injury luck this year , no worries .

    Whereas if we get creamed round 1 it's a wake up call .

    I want to win a ****ing championship.

    All this talk about seeding down the stretch doesn't concern me . I'm only concerned is the team good enough to win .

    If the answer is no , I don't care if we go out in round 1 or round 2 .... might as well get it over with earlier

    except the accuracy of officiating can still affect the outcome of a ballgame regardless if the team played well or not.

    especially if you're being targeted.

    If D'Antoni doesn't give Chiozza any playing time we're going to lose.

    embiid's out, but still kanter has made a huge impact for them, giving them a crazy rebounding advantage

    13-0 over the last 2 years when Ben Taylor officiates.

    Turns out b****ing about the Refs works.

    Hmm... I just noticed we're only 1 game up from the 8th seed. It's entirely possible that we fall out of the playoffs if we don't start closing games out properly.

    Wonder what happens this summer if that happens. :confused:

    There's not a game I don't think we can win. There ain't a team I don't think we can beat. Victory will be ours. Go Rockets!

    Have you watched the Rockets at all? Denver has 0 shot at beating us when we healthy. With Capela we have beat them like 10 in a row...

    Even this year they barely beat us once and we didn’t have anyone’s playing.

    Yeah man I've watched every game .

    I've watched us enough to know that saying that any team has 0 shot at beating us is foolish .

    The fine money of NBA players isn't donated to charities directly, according to NBA collective bargaining agreement,[8] The NBA and National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) first equally split fines that collected from players, with half the fine going to the Players' Association and the league retaining the other half. Each then donates its portion to a group of charities of its choice.

    We are just a horrible matchup for Denver. Capela and Harden pick and roll takes Jokic out of the game and he’s there best player.

    They might get 1 game in a 7 game series.

    If we end up 4-5 I’d love for Denver to get the 1 seed
