    Warriors -> Lakers -> OKC -> Celtics

    That would be the kind of run that cements the legacies of all our players. I don't think we'd win all those series, but it would be a dream come true.

    Maybe we can be the ones to finally shut their window. May Draymond ride off to hell and Kerr take another blow to his smugness.

    i don't want us matching up with either Warriors or Lakers because we always have to play 5 vs 8.

    I think they will end up as a 5th seed.

    The fix is already in and the Rockets are not in Silvers or Klutch Sports/LeBrons plans

    warriors are 1 team i know for a fact we have zero chance against them. not because they're good. they are. but they just have the edge against us.

    It all comes down to Warriors Vs Clippers on Sunday, whoever loses is #7. IT's as simple as that

    What happens if there's a 3-way tie between the Clippers, Warriors, and T'Wolves? Or even worse, a 4-way tie if the Rockets play all their starters on Sunday and beat the Nuggets?

    Kawhi and Harden just had to play 40+ min to beat the Kings. Warriors got an easy win against Portland where Curry only played 27 min.

    Bodes well for the Warriors on Sunday.

    If that's the case, the Rockets should try to win on Sunday. I'd be fine with either the Nuggets or Grizzlies in the first round.

    It’s so weird watching everyone fight tooth and nail for better playoff position while we’re just punting games against some of the biggest names out West because we’ve already locked in the 2nd seed.

    Jokic and Gordon also each logged 41 minutes in the Nuggets' win over the Grizzlies. So the Rockets will be the far fresher team Sunday afternoon if they try to win that game.
