    Back when the Warriors were cool. Now they have the most douchey players and coaches imaginable. They should ship them to Dallas so it makes sense.

    If the rockets play the thunder in the first round. Rockets some how lose the first 2 games in OT. With westbrook and Melo going off. I would hate to see what this board will be saying with okc going home for 2 games. lol

    And twice the #1 seed lost in a lockout year, and another time the #1 seed's best player was injured.

    So only twice has a real #1 seed lost under normal circumstances, but I wouldn't be surprised if we are chosen to be #3.

    Those happened from the 90s onwards till now.

    The 50s-80s teams must be really better at closing out.

    Remember the series after the Dallas win they were interviewing BD and Captain Jack and it was so obvious that they were stoned, you almost expected snoop to walk out the closet behind them.

    I don't think the thunder will get the eight seed. I am not worried about Min or Denver.

    As long as our top 8 players are healthy, we can beat any team in the west. considering of course that Cousins is not going to play, we have a match up issue with twin towers.

    Pffft. I have better data. 100% of the teams with 65-17 record won the championship. Look it up.

    Your Houston Rockets starting lineup versus the Sacramento Kings:

    - At center, number 21, Chinanu Onuaku
    - At forward, number 9, Joe Chee
    - At forward, number 7, Zhou Zhonson
    - At guard, number 2, RJ Hunter
    - At guard, number 55, Tim Quarterman

    (Sixth man: Markel Brown)

    Bring the 'chip home, Chee and Zhonson!

    I believe it is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.
