    Joey Crawford refs every game. Joining him on the sideline is a recently released from jail Tim Donaghy and a debuting ref: Derek Fisher.

    Warriors in 2 1/2 games.

    ^consider all that.

    And then consider a pre game panel of Charles, Shaq, Stephen A. Smith, and Skip Bayless before every single game.

    Then make the commentary team Hubie Brown, Jon Barry, and Reggie Miller.

    On the sidelines: Cheryl Miller.


    Even with all that, I'd still rather watch that series than us gun for the 14th pick.

    Getting the 14th pick in the draft is marginally better for the team if anything with this weak ass draft class.

    I'd rather be entertained.

    What's best for us as fans is making the playoffs. What's best for the team is making the playoffs. We need the experience.

    Another 14th or so pick in the draft?! So we end up with a Dekker, Harrell, Jones etc...?! What good is that?!

    I hope we get the 7th seed and play outta our minds and beat them. The Spurs are old.

    I don't understand you people wanting to watch a draft where we have a middle pick instead of watching the playoffs. THE PLAYOFFS!!!

    I really wonder about these people who want things to go bad for the Rockets. Why even bother being a fan? I feel sorry for you guys.

    7th seed is the real goal here - we stand a slight better chance against the Spurs than the Warriors (seems only the Spurs and Cavs match up well against these guys).

    There is a value to making the playoffs. I don't think a high 1st round pick in a weak draft will net much, but being in the spotlight can only help the young guys on this team grow and help us attract talent this summer.

    All in all, I could understand wanting to miss the playoffs if we this team had average talent and there was a deep draft.

    Outside of GS, given that these guys are at least CAPABLE of competing with the best - you just can't rule out that they will do something crazy impossible like last year. And for that, I hope they make the playoffs.

    7th seed here we come!

    Exactly.

    Like I said. I'd rather be a footnote in the Warriors' history book than get excited for a pick that isn't going to move the needle.

    You guys are p*****s. I don't give a damn about the Spurs.

    Give me the Warriors and only the Warriors.

    "If you wanna be the man, you gotta beat the man."

    Even if we have no hope to beat them, that's the only series that matters.

    No, let's beat the Spurs first. Get some experience. Regain our confidence, then meet the Warriors in the CF again. We get to play the Clips in the 2nd round again. Then the Warriors.

    You're right sensei. I take it back, you're not a p***y.

    But still, **** that.

    Give me the Warriors first.

    To beat the Warriors, you gotta be an Ultimate Warrior:

    A tru warier:

    If by some divine intervention through the hand of God we beat them, then we can demolish the Clippers in the semi-finals, in the process drinking CP3's tears of heaven. Blake will probably punch a video technician in the nuts afterwards.

    Then we can read the geriatric Spurs their eulogy in the WCF.

    Only then will we face our opponent's final form:

    And steak sauce Harden can vanquish them:

    GG plebes.

    The Warriors had it coming when they pulled off that stunt against the former No.1 seed MAVS with MVP NoJokeski.

    We can't beat the Warriors but we can beat the Spurs in a 7 game series?

    Cool stuff from Smacktle
