    This is pretty hilarious. Didn't know OKC is that good.

    I didn't really want to play OKC. All our games against them this year were pretty close, but at least it will be an entertaining series. We should win in 6, but might be all close games.

    Fascinating.

    Is the first season you guys remember multiple teams trying to tank games for seeding purposes?

    Lmaoo. Well it's destiny then we must face the OKC thunder.

    In before they lose to Milwaukee and Spurs bump them to 7th. And then Denver loses and we get bumped to 2nd

    I want to face them just because people actually think they can beat us but I wouldn’t mind seeing them lose tonight and drop to the 8th seed. They can soften up the Warriors in the first round.

    Then we are second seed. But OKC might tank to avoid Denver to play us instead

    If only we won freaking last night smh, Thunder wouldve faced Warriors most likey and those the two teams that give rockets the hardest and one of them wouldve been out by 2nd round but NOPE we lost.

    If we play okc 1st round and are eliminated. Then the game we blew vs. the grizz and thunder will haunt us.

    That's what I been telling people. We was gonna play okc no matter what...teams was gonna see to it...if we would of won last night...warriors would of won gets clippers spurs would of beat Dallas n so forth. Teams were always gonna position for the 2nx n 3rd best team to play each other. So I wasnt even worried about last night cause we would of been in whatever position to play okc.

    Correct, a loss by Portland AND Denver means we get the second seed and play Utah in the first round. To me, that sounds like a good scenario. So, I hope both Denver and Portland lose. However, I’m guessing Denver wants to retain the second seed so the big matchup tonight will be Denver vs Minny.

    whatever the result might be, i don't mind facing okc in the first round if we are in the same bracket with denver for 2nd round.
    okc is exactly the same team who got bounced in the first round by j*zz last year. i say we finishi them in 5.

    Once OKC see Portland tank, will they tank in order to play Denver instead of Houston?

    All this tanking is getting out of hand.

    a loss by denver gives the rockets the #2 seed automatically. It doesn't matter what the portland game outcome is. the rockets dont need both to lose
