    We get a week’s rest after the regular season ends. We should go all out to win this one. Getting LA out of our bracket is very important, because of the ref factor.

    That strip looks way too lean and cooked. How was it?

    Agreed.
    I think the 1st quarter or 1st half should be sufficient

    Honestly with this team I don't think we are worried about ducking anyone in the playoffs. I know playoffs success can be matchup based but this team has literally beaten every other real contender in the western conference. I don't see Ime as the type of coach who is telling his players we need to win certain games so that we can avoid other teams.

    This is also an experimental year so any success we have in the playoffs is already gravy. Our top three pick in this years draft can barely even see the floor because of how much talent we have. I say we take whoever is on the schedule and beat their brains out - we will have to see those teams eventually.

    GREAT for "non basketball-only" Houston fans....

    Astros 7:00pm
    Rockets 9:30pm

    Less overlapping. Experience both in real-time more fully

    Was hoping the normal cast would play today. They haven't figured out how to discourage teams from fronting.

    I think Ime is about to throw the Lakers a curve ball and start everyone minus Fred.

    Is it OK to say I despise it when the Rockets play a 9:30pm CST game out west?

    Just needed to get that off my chest.

    Let the man eat his steak however he wants to. The point of his post is to support Landry's. And you know what, for as much as I dislike the food in most of his restaurants, maybe it's time to pay a visit and make sure he has money to keep the team together in the future.

    Besting them to risk injury is quite pointless unless they also lose to the Blazers

    This hits hard, obviously, but I still think Danuel House wins this rap battle. Cookies and Cake.

    Alpi, Amen, Fred, Dillon, Tari, and Jabari are all out tonight.

    Congrats to the Lakers on the 3rd seed.

    That means there's a small chance Blazers could win the last game against Lakers and move ahead of the Suns in the standings.
