    The team to watch out for that 2nd seed is the Clippers, not the Grizzlies

    THem b****es have a cupcake schedule to close the season and are on a hot run right now

    THey play the Nuggets twice, the Lakers twice, Phoenix (who are out the playoff contention) and the Grizzlies at home which seems to be their toughest remaining game

    They coul easily go 6-0 which means Rockets have to go 5-1 to secure 2nd spot which means we win out and split the 2 games vs Spuds (very possible but tough)

    Its crazy we could end up as the 6th seed when this is all said and done. SAS is rolling, LA and Pots schedule is cake, Memphis is Memphis and our schedule is brutal

    Just gotta go 2-1 in next 3 games, and we'll probably end up 2nd for sure

    Those two games against Phoenix and Toronto which.the Rockets lost now loom large. As much as the schedule of the LA Clippers looks easy, the Rockets had their chances early. Don't forget San Antonio. Assuming the Rockets beats Oklahoma City and the Spurs twice , then maybe the Rockets could possibly take seed#2 and play the Dallas Mavericks.

    No, we just gotta win 2 outta next 3 games, and we're 2nd for sure. Memphis will still lose at least 2 games.
