    They do but Utah also has the same record. I dont know how the math works, but because there is a 3 way tie, Rockets are the 4th seed. When OKC lost people on Twitter were saying Rockets were 4th seed before the Rockets game.

    Dude, we havent even watched a single game of the playoffs yet. Making predictions on games that dont matter at all mean jack. You can't even wait itll we play the first game.

    Westbrook has his good and bad. The fact is our second unit doesnt look that much better when he's running the show. He looks good when he's with Harden.

    If more people would listen to those "nerd analytic stats" we probably wouldnt have traded for him in the first place and maybe we'd have a healthy Chris Paul. But that time is gone and this is what we have. The best player in basketball vs a Chris Paul led team. We are fine.

    Rockets don't play for championship, they just play for proving Morey and MDA's ****ing midges ball can work.

    Even Bugs Bunny knows midges can't win basketball games in Space Jam.

    It's not the system is the personnel. We have a bunch of minimum salary players and the Ego who is probably third highest paid has been dog ****. Tucker is 35 years old.

    If this has proven anything you dont have to be a great rebounding team to win games. I tnink it can work with the right people.

    Small ball can work, as proven by the Warriors. However it requires longer guys and better shooters.

    I really wish Harden would get help like Kawhi gets. Toronto is the 2nd seed after he left.

    can you see this Rockets team being the 2nd seed without Harden?

    it’s the coaching of nick nurse, toronto is talented but not 53 wins in a shortened season talented

    Coaching matters, and the deeper the rockets get in the playoffs the more mike gets exposed. He basically relies on vets to cover his coaching limitations. Tillman would be dumb to give mike a contract extension, he doesn’t make adjustments and harden will for sure retire ringless if he stays the coach

    a guy like David blatt or Kenny Atkinson would be perfect

    It blows my mind how you guys act like a player putting up like 29 a game since the trade wont be missed. We are not fine. Do you understand how much better the supporting cast around paul is ? Our weakness is quick guards that can beat us off the dribble which they have in abundance. They have size with adams, and a stretch 4. All of our worst nightmares on one team. James cannot cover for all of this and its silly to expect him to.

    Its not james vs chris its thunder vs rockets.
