    Guess that won’t happen this year. Rockets are not losing to the Jazz. Just won’t happen...

    How many times did the 4th seed have a worse record than the 5th seed, and only became the 4th seed because they were a division winner?

    Well, It's never easy as you think it's going to be anyway. You have to win four tough series. When we get past Golden State there will be no exhaling.

    7 is a set apart number. The curse will be lifted this year.

    I think both the Worry-O's and the Rockets are not happy about being in the same bracket but at least it makes the WCF cupcake for one of them.

    Once. In 2015, Memphis was 55-27 and Portland was 51-31; Portland ended up the 4th seed but didn’t have home court. Memphis knocked them off in 5.

    There was only one year during that span that saw the 4 seed have more than a 1 game lead on the 5 seed heading into the playoffs: 2016 Clippers (53-29) lost to the Blazers (44-38) when CP3 and Griffin both got hurt.

    Rockets will have at least a 2 game lead on Utah when the regular season ends

    We know the Rockets will show up against the Worriers. They were built to and plus the playoff history.

    I wanted a team between them, Clippers and Spurs for the 1st round so, i'm fine with the Jazz, i don't think they have enough fire power to keep up with us, and they have no one who can bother James if not by flopping here and there. Curious to see who will try to guard Mitchell most though, Trevor did a great job last year, i guess it's Gordon turn now.

    Do Clippers hold the tiebreaker over the Spurs? I would rather the Spurs matched up with the Worriers in round 1...
