    Because Minnesota and Sactown also wanted to choke in the last game of the season.

    because depending on lotto teams to beat playoff teams is dumb

    should have taken care of business against OKC, or the other blown leads they have had all year.

    Rockets 4th seed, will lose to Warriors 4-1 in the 2nd round.

    Been a shitty year.

    53 wins, 4th seed, Down 12 losses from last seasons 65 wins and 1st seed.

    I'd rather play the Jazz, anyway.

    Harden gets the Gobert switch, then it becomes a 4v4 with Paul at the point and no Gobert in the paint. Easy.

    Rockets in 5.

    I'm not nearly as upset as others seem to be.

    Now we get GSW round 2 without home court. Nothing different then the wcf except we get to play them earlier.

    If we were to win. I'm not scared of Portland or denver.

    It's like, ehh, still gotta beat the Warriors...

    How much fun was it to go from Rockets being the 2nd seed to the 4th in a matter of seconds on TWO consecutive nights?

    OKC has to be thrilled to get Portland and then Denver. Rockets get what they deserved.

    There are few switches like that.

    Gobert doesn't come out of the paint. There are no PnR switches, because they drop into ICE defense.

    But that's why Harden weaponized the floater and further developed the Step-Back 3. I don't fear Utah, but don't expect Gobert to be switched onto Harden much.
