    I'm just glad to see the Kings go home, hate those guerilla bandanas they are wearing. Rockets shot themselves in the foot by losing the series to the Blazers. Might as well get that 4th seed and beat the Warriors in the 2nd round.

    That’s assuming we win out and Portland lose at least once.

    It’s a tall order but doable.

    On paper, Denver should lose the road games and go 0-3. They will be unfavored By Vegas in those games.

    We need Denver to lose one more game at home out of 4. Hopefully to San Antonio.

    Since when did the Rockets ever rest all their starters? They don't even rest them when they are hurt half the time.

    Yes but not a given.

    Thunder like to get up to play the Rockets.

    annoying to see Denver win games and Warriors drop them.

    Is Mike D’Antoni going to die in a car crash or slip into a coma? Because I can’t see him shutting everyone down. Not to mention that Harden won’t voluntarily sit.

    Same here, they'll probably win both games against Portland and while that game against the Spurs is more of a coin toss for me, it's more likely they win that too since they play it at home.

    I'd love to see us either getting 3rd and GS 1st, or us 4th and GS 2nd. So either way, it'll be a conference finals rematch.

    Even better would be GSW getting knocked out 1st round. Anything is possible.

    If the Warriors get the Thunder in Round 1, that will not be an easy out for them. I know OKC has struggled down the stretch, but that's a physical team that'll beat up on Golden State.

    I hope rockets rest everyone but James Harden just to see if he an score 100 in a game by jacking every shot. If he does that he’s gotta win MVP right?

    Yeah, that compound fracture was gruesome.
