    We probably won't play the thunder on the 1st round. I am assuming nuggets will beat the timber wolves and blazers will beat the kings.

    Playing the warriors in the 2nd round will be better for cp3. Hopefully he will be healthier than last year.

    at this point this goes past the thunder. The rockets continue to do what doesn't work. The second the 3 ball stop going in we play like headless chickens.

    the blazers currently down to the lakers.... if they lose we get 3 seed and probably end up playing the thunder.

    If the Lakers beat Portland and Thunder beat the resting Bucks tomorrow, that’st He 3/6 matchup.

    Tonight’s loss has no bright side. It’s the worst of the season given the context. Fitting for this season.

    Sorry, HOFs, but your guy SUCKED BALLS tonight. You can't pin tonight on one person, but in a 1-point loss, it sure would've helped if House had made a good play or two.

    I know, it's Morey's fault because if we signed him earlier, he would have played with us so much that he wouldn't have those occasional almost-rookie nights. :rolleyes:

    I think Earvin Johnson took the Headline news today, nobody will notice.

    This game didn’t mean anything. Rockets going into the playoffs without anyone hurt is what mattered.

    You won’t hear anything about him though. But if someone else had his night, how many threads would be created as a result

    A brutal loss. The only good thing about it is that none of our guys are dead.

    The same story against the same team. The lack of heart of this team to win closed matches is incredible. I think Harden lost the MVP title tonight. Too many mistakes, the same mistakes as always. I do not see this team winning a closed series of playoffs.

    I'd rather play the Thunder than the Jazz. We were in control of this game almost throughout, on the road. They don't scare me.

    You can try to spin it. But, this game did mean something. The Rockets wanted that second seed.

    We done hallucinating, we are very good team with the best player but we got fatal flaws, are still a tad too old and undersized.

    If we dun make shots, and in the playoffs scoring droughts are very common, we have a problem.

    We should get down to earth.

    Not really. Sure they may have wanted it. Still isn’t as big of a deal as some of you make it. They’ll move on quickly and certainly won’t be dwelling on it.

    youre insane. id much rather play the jazz. they only have one star. the thunder can turn us over and have two guys who can go off. they guard harden almost as well as the bucks.

    I don't understand why you have taken on such a defeatist attitude this season?

    The bright side is I don’t have to hear that Harden has a chance at the MVP.

    Irrational confidence on my part? Maybe. :)
