    Meh, Playoffs were the goal.

    As I said before, I'd be surprised if the Rockets win more than 2 games...they will be lucky to have a 6 game series against anyone they play. If they get Denver it will be very very bad...

    But just getting there is a step in the right direction. Look at all the teams in the top half, they were all once low seeds before and likely got their *** kicked in the first round. It's part of the process.

    The refs are showing what reffing in the playoffs would be, no more cheap calls for Harden like in the regular season. The Rockets need to push the tempo, I don't think we've gotten a single fastbreak layup in the first half.

    Think they gave that TO to Harden...and it looked like Lin was fouled on that play

    Same old Rockets can't stand to take advantage of last nights Warriors lost to move up in the standing. Still have a whole second half to make it up. It will be a close game by the 4th quarter.

    He is a special needs kid who raised 1000.00 for charity to help those kids like him. You really hope he misses?

    Chandler's future contract just went up by 25%.

    playing memphis is much worse than Denver. After they got Prince it seems their defense is MUCH better.

    This Memphis team is a worse matchiup for the rox than Denver.

    Because the lack of mid shooting makes Rockets easier to defend

    They ought to give anyone in attendance their money back. You shouldn't have to pay to watch this...in fact, they could withhold a few player paychecks as well. Totally embarrassing. You don't tank a game with 4 to go and trailing by 1/2 game for 6th. I mean, at least make it look like you were trying to win. I love my Rockets but we won't hang around in the playoffs long and may not even win a game playing like this.

    Nah, the refs don't change how they call a game.

    Every game will be called differently in the playoff.

    I hate thta "It will be tough in the playoffs!" not really, it'll be the same. Every game will be different just like regular season.

    I agree, but the lack of offense and defense right now is inexcusable, even if we are trying to tank. We are making things too easy for them.

    Dunno if anyone else sees it, but this team hasn't looked great since Harden came back from his rest, even in the wins. I thought they looked great those two games before Harden came back, ball movement, excellent rotations, we don't see that anymore.

    Whether it's because he's not in sync with the players, or the players are relying on him too much, the chemistry just isn't there.

    What are you watching. We had plenty of open looks. Just can't finish.

    I think there's no way now that DMo sees the light of day during the playoffs
