    If okc beats Toronto and moves up, Hou won’t play okc in the first round. That might be the worst matchup for Hou so maybe this ain’t so bad.!

    I guess he's being preserved for playoffs. Still. A meaningful play like that can prevent a BS call

    My hope is it won't freaking matter THIS year. House's contract, the lux tax, these dumb losses won't matter if the Rockets win it all.

    If you are trying to win, you don't come out flat like the Rox did, you need to come to play every single night.....that is this team's biggest weakness....Fat Cat Itis.....and they haven't won ****.

    It seems winning it all comes so natural.

    Thunder lose and they are in the 7th seed. Even better, with their schedule, they can drop to the 8th seed.

    the reality is that the league office is not going to allow that to happen and deep down we all know this. i would have hoped we could at least get james another mvp trophy, but our front office and too many teammates have really failed him this season.

    Still with this? Harden has a better team than he had last year. 3-1 against the Warriors in the regular season. Nobody failed anybody.

    i said the front office and teammates failed harden in being able to get the mvp award. we would have the #1 seed in the west if not for the obscene season long lux tax avoidance quest or the horrid shooting of cp3/ego for most of the season, the softee play of capela all season, melo being useless, etc etc etc

    Foul with .01 sec left...how stupid can that be? Really .01 second? How can you even foul someone and have .01 second left. Refs decided this game for us. God, i hate this r****ded league.

    You're better than this post. this is a silly post. The goal was never to get Harden the MVP in the first place. Morey has maintained that he wants the Rockets to have the best team in April. And with all the crap that has gone down, he has done that.

    and this is quite the silly reply from you considering i already posted:

    "the reality is that the league office is not going to allow [us winning it all] to happen and deep down we all know this. i would have hoped we could at least get james another mvp trophy"

    If you don't think the Rockets can win and Harden won't win the MVP award:
