    I don't think the rockets really cared about winning here.
    Harden didn't show any type of frustration near the end.

    If Thunder lose to Bucks (which they may since Westrbook will be suspended... too many technicals)
    And the Spurs beat the Mavs (which they will since Mavs are tanking for a pick)

    Then the Thunder will NOT be our first round matchup.

    We will meet the Spurs and the Nuggets will meet the Thunder.

    Giannis has already come out and said he doesn't like the idea of resting... let's see what happens tomorrow

    Westbrook won't be suspended. Bucks don't give a F.

    thunder won't be our matchup regardless of what happens with them because we'll be the 4th seed.

    OKC will beat the Bucks.

    It’s really up to the Blazers whether they want the 3rd or not. The Nugs may not want the 2nd either.

    HCA in first two rounds would have been nice. Mentally, heading into the playoffs on a hot streak would have been nice.

    Wrong. The Rockets were busting their asses out there. They wanted this game BAD.

    The course can be righted with 2 home wins on the Jazz.

    didn't realize that. Knowing that I believe Blazers may be trying to lose to the Kings if not losing to the Lakers. Not sure how exactly the Lakers have a 5 point lead against them in the 4th. Are blazers even trying?

    I'm pretty certain they changed the criteria to H2H matchup first and then division winner 2nd. So Portland would be 3rd due to H2H

    I saw that too but it’s wrong. My jazz fan (yeah I know) friend pointed that out because if Portland wins out they take 3 seed
