    The win today gives GSW their 26th loss.

    denver have 28.

    Portland and the Kings are no chance

    I think we can safely say that, at a minimum, we are going to the
    playoffs!!

    Hell no, we ain't safe. We are still 7 games away from the lottery with 12 games to play.

    nope the western conference is pack tight, meaning if the anyteam in the top 4 spot lose few games they can be out of the playoff

    It's been pretty safe to say for a while now but doesn't mean it will definately happen. Just means it is likely to happen. Thread closed (hopefully).

    fair enough, i know its not mathematically a done deal by any means...

    but for some reason the Rocks have made a serial pessimist into a optimist this season.

    3 teams in the East (Boston, Detroit, Orlando) have clinched playoff births. No team in the West has. That said, I think that 4 more wins (+/- 1) should do it.

    The Rockets passed that mark awhile back. They are in the playoffs for sure.

    MAthematically, no team has clinched the playoff berth in the West. but with 13games remaining, all rockets need to do is go for 6-7 records then it will require Nuggets and Blazers to win all the remaining 13 games which is something i dont think they can accomplish. So the magic number for the rockets to clinch the playoff berth will be 6.

    Personally i think the rockets will make the playoffs this season thanks to the amazing 22 winning streak unless the rockets suck it up in the final 13 games like 2-11, 3-10 type of records, they should be alright!

    Go rockets go!

    I'm as paranoid as the next guy buy the Rockets are fine when it comes to the playoffs just because I have faith in this Rockets team. The magic number for clinching a playoff spot is 7 or 8.

    Right anyone can make the playoffs, from NO and LA, to Denver and Portland. Personally, I believe and hope that the Rockets will get to the playoffs at least, but hey, anything can happen.

    no way, someone can still get injured and Rox can go on a serious losing streak
