    Harden's legacy is forever different if Chris Paul's hamstring holds up. Hurts my soul to think about.

    Personally I want the seeding to end up like this:

    1 - Lakers
    2 - Rockets
    3 - Jazz
    4 - Nuggets
    5 - Clippers
    6 - Thunder
    7 - Mavericks
    8 - Grizzlies

    The Mavs in round 1 means very little travel for the team. They will be a tough out for sure, but I feel the Rockets will handle them.

    I love facing the Jazz round 2 while the Lakers take on the Clippers or the Nuggets.

    If it’s the Clippers, then the emotional toll of that series will put the winner in a classic letdown situation for the WC finals.

    I feel good about the Rockets getting to #2.

    Feel good about the 2 seed.

    Rockets are 30-5 when they score 115 or more.
    Scored 115 in 8 of last 10 without Capela and haven't lost in those games.

    That would be ideal ! Think it’s doable but for the 2 seed but may take some luck and a crazy winning spree in outback final games to make it happen, but considering the ups and downs of his season so far that kind of achievement would be pretty impressive !!

    Not feeling the "winning it all" vibe, but that would be great!

    It's so hard to believe that we can win it all, like almost no one will come out and say that we can win it all with small ball. But I mean, it's working pretty well so far am I right?! We've beaten some pretty damn good opponents with the small ball lineup right?!?! So, why not guys??? BELIEVE!!!!!!!!! :)

    I'm not going to mince words, as I've had enough of you.
    I think you have me confused with someone else.
    You're f*cking with the wrong guy at the wrong time.
    Now, be a good little boy, and f*ck right off.

    My apologies to everyone else for this digression.
    Back to hoops....

    FTR - I've been under the impression we will be VERY good this year, perhaps good enough to to win it all.
    That said, we should be even better next year.
    At the same time though, we'll have to contend with a loaded, post tanking GS squad.
    Either way, I welcome the challenge.
    Bring on the League office, the Worriers, the Fakers, whatever...

    Go Rockets!

    We might win it all but I still think Morey if he is not tossed out has something up his sleeve!

    As long as our best player in harden plays like he is after the all star break and our second best player on Russ does what he does yes we can nab the second seed.

    His legacy is also different if he doesn’t play like trash in G6 and G7, when he only needed one win to get to the Finals.

    We need mda to stretch his rotation and load manage his way to at least a healthy 2nd round,

    Starter mins should decrease but we all know what’s going to happen.
