    PG throwing shade at Harden saying the best players in the league have been 2-way guys. Harden second in steals #neverforget. I'm salty.

    Rooting for the Dubs. Would rather stay in the 2-3 seed side of the bracket with Denver and let Portland/OKC/GSW battle it out on the other.

    I'm really tired of everyone talking about the GSW win over the Rockets like it was a blow out.

    Honestly wouldn't mind if both GS and DEN lost today, even if it does mean an OKC win.

    Worst case scenario tonight would be if both GS and DEN win, because it makes the #1 and #2 seed that much harder to attain.

    yeah... the rockets have the tiebreaker over the Warriors. I'll take a loss from them and Denver every single time. The pressure will be on them to keep winning, as the Rockets continue to creep closer and closer.

    I thought the Nuggets and Trailblazers were playing tonight. Of course I'll take Denver losing to the Pacers :eek::eek::eek:

    For the first time in a while I feel good about our chances to beat GS in the playoffs.

    So far seems really like the Warriors won't miss Durant as much as a lot of people assumed (myself included) if he leaves this summer.

    8-12 from 3. Wow, this is exactly what the Rockets want every night.

    Hmm, something is up with their defense. Theoretically, OKC's defense should do much better than ours. Maybe our guys are just smarter defenders? I think thats what Chris has mentioned multiple times.

    People don't seem to realize that even though KD is unstoppable, he's a black hole. Without KD, GSW just reverts back to the ball movement that won them a championship. I would rather KD be healthy if the Rockets meet them in the playoffs. Klay, Curry even Green (honorable mention x-factor Iggy) go down, GSW has a real problem.

    1st seed is probably out of the question at this point so i'm looking for losses by: denver, okc, portland, and utah.

    this pushes us closer to the 2nd seed and distances us from 4-6.

    Personally I think OKC gets away with just being more athletic than everyone else; PG can take over defensively by himself. I think the Rockets have a better scheme and smarter defenders.

    So far all the teams the Rockets would like to lose (DEN, OKC, POR, UTAH) are losing.. I don't expect that to last, but oh boy, this has the potential to be a perfect night in the association.
