    If the Rockets win this one there will be a four way tie for second place, all four teams with identical 54-26 records.

    TNT and ESPN are dreading hosting the Rockets games come playoff time. Ratings shall plummet when the free throw contests break out.

    Thing is, if this game is where we decide it's do or die, i wi!be even more pissed about the sspurs losses. Harden should not play any harder, we need to keep chucking FTs and McHale can stay dumb and play Howard limited. If we then still win, well that's just the way it goes...I think we lose though.

    Coaching staff has to adapt to this fouling strategy ASAP. We've been exposed. Think you may have to experiment with Josh as a starter again. I know that experiment didn't end well but idk what is worse. Him as a starter or on the free throw line. Also Bench Dorsey and go small with the 2nd unit. TJones at center, Kostas at PF, Corey brewer at SF, KJ at SG, nick or Pringles PG. If they do foul Josh or Dwight it will be by a Pelicans starter and not a Pelicans bench player. Foul on a starter > Foul on a bench player. 2nd unit would be undersized and would have to gang rebound. Would be very athletic tho. Idk what Rockets coaching might do but hopefully they have a plan.

    We are already extremely short handed. We gonna limp into the playoffs... I don't think morey is going to risk another injury to dwight. At this point our roster strength will be that of a true 6th seed. Dmo out, bev out, jsmoove still recovering, Dwight 65%, Harden tired, kpap coming off injury, terry old, prigioni old, Tjones still bruised... We lucky we still got Harden. I say wind it down and save it for the playoffs... like last year.

    I agree, stay at 6th.

    Except McHale said in an interview that rest is overrated.

    I don't think anyone will abuse the foul strategy except SA.

    I get to finish Daredevil, Astros game, Rockets game, and Game of Thrones to cap off the night.

    I don't care how bleak things look for our Rockets at the moment, this is a great day for me.
