    Rockets only 1.5 game back from Nuggets! Nuggets has 5 more games to play.

    We win out.

    Portland and Denver split their 2 games.

    Utah or San Antonio give Denver 1 more L.

    2nd seed.

    If we win out we are guaranteed at least the 3 correct? Either Denver will have 1 loss, Portland will have 2 or either of them will have 2 so it shouldn't matter since we have the tiebreaker over Denver so we would be the 3 in the scenario with Portland as the 2.

    Portland really needs to go away.

    We need to stay in the 3rd seed at least thats the way it looks. Let the Spurs or Okc deal with the Warriors or Denver in the first round and potentially Portland or Utah in the Second round. Its better for us to have to deal with the 2nd seed or the 7th seed in the second round

    So you want the two spot so we get SA in the first round and watch D-Mo drop 40 on us?

    We really need to win out, as Portland may only lose one more game

    Winning out will be difficult, the Clippers are really on a roll just like us and are always extra motivated against us.

    If we pull it out tonight, I like our prospects of the #2 seed.

    Last big game of the season tonight. We have to make a point in LA. This could be a potential 1st round series.

    Extremely emotional game for Harden tonight, being back in L.A.

    Portland not losing outside of their b2b vs Denver, is still not a given.

    Denver lost to Wizards at home. Anything can happen.

    Our final game of the year against OKC isn't a big game? That very well be the difference between playing OKC, Spurs Clippers or even Utah..

    Tonight is a must-win game. I don't think the 2nd seed matters much but we cannot fall to 4th.

    Not really because by then the seeds will be pretty locked up. I expect both teams to rest their starters.

    Eh, Maybe. It also might be just fine to get the Warriors in round 2 if they get beat up a little by OKC (physical team) and we have the team healthier with less playoff minutes on Harden with the load he's been carrying and CP3, who is playoff fragile...

    I hope we can lock them(Clippers)down defensively. I don’t expect us to shoot like we did last night. They have dominated us in the paint in previous losses. Real curious to see how Manimal matches up with Trez off the bench. That should be a highly energetic matchup.

    It would also be cool to remind them of who the real big dogs are when healthy. I hope we blow the Clippers out tonight.

    Meeting the Clippers in the first round had me a bit concerned but I had to remind myself of who we are. Everyone outside of GS should be fearing us.

    When could the warriors meet up with the rockets in the playoffs?

    I wanna fly out to a game but I didn’t see a bracket of the playoffs yet...how could we meet up with them? Or just in the west finals
