    Our frontcourt better not underestimate the WB - Kanter PnR. It's been pretty good.

    I cant wait to watch Kanter try to keep up with TJones. Dude stands no chance I don't know if I've ever seen a non ~7'5" tall dude with slower feet than Kanter.

    Uh, no. Why would the Rockets wanna lose any of their remaining games?

    yeah, but us getting the 2 seed is so much more important.

    All the Rockets have to do is show up and respect the opponent. Only way they lose is by taking OKC for granted.

    I think the Thunder may collapse and finish out of the playoffs behind the Pelicans.

    If we want the Pelicans in the lottery, how about we just beat them at Toyota Center a week from Sunday?

    I just hope it's better than the last time we played in OKC.

    That game...yikes.

    I like the idea of a lineup with Brewer on Westbrook:

    Harden/Prigs-PG
    Brewer/Terry-G
    Dwight/Dorsey/Capella
    Ariza/Terry/Brewer (can sometimes switch Ariza on Westbrook)
    Jones/Smith

    I can see Nick J getting some playing time as well. He has the athleticism to stay with WB.

    and Westbrook draws fouls as much as Harden, so that's 6 fouls we can give with Nick

    Brewer on Westbrook? Brewer is a bad man defender

    Gonna be another huge test.

    This team is desperate, they are almost out of the playoffs.

    The hits just keep on coming. This schedule to end the season is a bear. Glad the team gets a couple of days to rest up before this one.

    Not in OKC. The Rockets won, but the final score was something like 69-65. It came during a stretch where their offense was so putrid, even JVG was cringing.

    Do we want to be the 5 seed, or even 6 maybe? The Grizz, Clipps, Spurs and Blazers could all still catch us.
