We were the 2nd seed in 09 and lost that last game against the Mavs falling to the 5th. I still remember how pissed I was
because ESPN some muthaf**kin haters! NBA.COM reflects our rightful standing among the NBA elite... jk..jk...jk... or am I jking? I am...
We actually have a really good chance to get the 2 seed. Spurs next 3 games are the Clippers/Blazers/Suns. That could be a potential 3 game swing to the favor of the Rockets.
Rockets would have been in WCF that year!! we would have completely missed LA in the second round and would have had 2 cupcake teams if we had won.. see... I'm mad now too..
What a way to roll into the All Star break! 7 game win streak and moving from 5th seed to 3rd seed. Clutch City Reborn!
THEN MAYBE DIKE WOULDNT HAVE BEEN HURT THEN MAYBE YAO WOULD'NT HAVE BUMPED KNEES WITH KOBE LEADING TO HIS INJURY THEN MAYBEE....
If the Rockets are smart...they will be gunning to take the #2 spot and force the LAC to play the Spurs or Blazers. We really want no part of the Clippers in the first round..that is a really bad match up for us in the first round. The Thunder are gonna get restocked once Westbrook gets back... Spoiler Im just gonna predict this...Something huge is gonna happen in the 2nd half of this NBA season that is gonna drastically alter the course of this season. A big star is gonna get injured at an inopportune moment. Im hoping that opens the door for our Rockets...
If we can finish in the third seed, we have a great chance of getting to the western conference finals
