    The levels of delusion people will rise to, to try to spin whatever happens as positive. Golden State is "medium" but Oklahoma City is "medium to high?" Are you under the belief that the Thunder still have Harden and Durant?

    We are a one trick pony. We have zero variety in our game, never has a team been this one sided and won.

    I'm a believer in getting the highest seed possible and the second seed was there for the taking after the all the ****-ups the Rox have had this year. Just deflating.

    Get some glasses. Jokic hit him straight on the left elbow. He didn't come close to the ball.

    What's the difference in playing Warriors in the 2nd round or WCF? We have to beat them anyway. Bottom line, we get a much better 1st round match-up now.

    We avoided OKC and get to play the Warriors a little earlier.

    We beat the Jazz in 5. Who did they add this year that would dramatically change the series? Rubio is healthy this time I guess?

    Why bother watching this absolute disaster if you get so little pleasure and already have them making off season plans?

    The NBA allowed absolute peak LeBron to get eliminated as the #1 seed in the CF round to the Dwight Howard magic. They faced the Lakers instead of the Cavs. Boston was already eliminated.


    Kobe vs Lebron finals would’ve been LEGENDARY.

    That was a David Stern NBA as well.

    Ha Portland gets OKC. Blazers were 0 - 4 against OKC. Let's see if the regular season has the same results in the post season. Denver vs SA well let's see if not having playoff experience will hurt the Nuggets. Rockers vs Jazz hoping the Rockets play more than just 7 players throughout the playoffs. Warriors vs Clippers can the Clippers make is series or will they get swept? Can't wait! H-Town Crazy!! Go Rockets!!

    Someone mentioned a good point yesterday too...at least we see them earlier in the playoffs so hopefullyCP3 won't have 2 series of wear and tear on his body.

    they could have easily played their bench players 40 mins. they had an 11 point lead with 3-4 mins left. the coach wanted that win. a win really would not have done much in terms of draft position. no players are going to go out and throw a game. they dont like the nuggets anyway. they missed some open shots late, gave up a few offensive rebounds, and the refs completely ****ed them on two plays in the last minute that wouldve resulted in free throws.

    Curry ankle is injured getting them in 2nd round is going to be good for us. Plus we avoid OKC. I think Portland messed up getting 3 seed. I know they were trying to lose, but players didn't get memo. They are 0-4 against okc.

    We legitimately have more variety than even last year through House/Faried.

    I sure as **** am, I want them to win, but I have been a fan long enough to know the odds here are not good.

    Right. You've been down on the Rockets for 20 years. Way to "fan." See you on the bandwagon.

    Not at all, it only matters what happens now. We qualified for the Playoffs and now if we are good enough we will win it.
