    The best part about all this is no matter regular season or playoffs we have the Worriers number this year and they know it. “Flip a switch” or not we can ransack their asses and they know it. I’ll take any seed from 4 up......stay healthy and stay hungry, do your job and we can hoist that gleaming B Ball this year.

    I honestly believe we will get the second seed Denver and OkC 's schedule is tough Rockets Rank 23rd on the SOS

    Denver is ranked 9th and OKC is 2nd after last nights game

    Yeah Rockets took care of business. Excited to see Faried play in the last 15 games. He just brings a different element to this team that greatly affects this team in a positive way.

    In this winning streak, the Rockets took out the Raptors, Celtics, and the 76’ers. Rockets definitely look dominant once again.

    This team is starting to look as good as last years squad which set our Franchise win record.

    Unbelievable how far we’ve come. If we beat GS Wednesday I think we get the 1 seed.

    If we don’t screw around tomorrow night, it’s actually possible. Durant is hobbled and they look lost right now.

    It’s still a long shot, but what a story that would be!

    I'm really optimistic about the #2 seed but can see #1 seed being possible with the way the chips seem to be falling in the Rockets favor.

    At the Rocket's lowest point of the season you could have bet $20 on the Rockets getting the 1st seed and if it were to happen you would have won a LOT of money.

    Unbelievable turn of events! Just a couple of weeks ago, we were trailing OKC for 4-5 games.

    Looks like there is some bad blood brewing in the GSW locker room. It's 4-6 to their last 10 games played. ouch.

    Upcoming GSW game is now more important than ever!

    In their last 10 games, GSW is 4-6, DEN is 6-4, and HOU is 8-2. If the next 10 are like the last 10 the 3 teams will roughly be tied for 1st with 6 games to go. Go Rockets!

    We have to hope Boston beats Denver and they lose another in their next relatively soft 8 games to go 6-2.

    The Rockets need to win 8 of their next 9. Then beat Denver at home and you are back 1 game in the standings and a good chance to catch them for the 2nd seed.

    I've gone from thinking we have no chance to get the 2 seed to thinking we are an outside chance to get the 1 seed.

    I think I want the GSW to lose more than I want Houston to win at this point. (Well GSW and Utah)
