    Yes but the Rockets will likely fall to 4 if Portland and Denver win their remaining games against non-playoff teams.

    That said, Lakers tied right now with seconds to go

    Tough night man. Rockets choking definitely ruined my night. I hate that we are going to end up being 4th.

    From basically a sure 2 seed and MVP to 4th seed no MVP and getting our asses bounced early in the playoffs. Jesus christ.

    I can truly see Portland losing to Sac on purpose. They don't wanna face OKC in the Playoffs, they would get upset. I think they'd rather take their chances against Utah. Also, the Kings are not tanking and are the one team trying to end the season on a positive note.

    Blazers have the tie-break with the Rockets - if Blazers and Nuggets win - Blazers would get the 3rd seed, Houston would get 4

    Curious, why do the Rockets seem to think they locked up the 3seed?

    After the game Harden was like "3 seed not bad..."

    Cost the season. Lmao. There was no avoiding GS. Get it done early and healthy like men and be done with it, win or lose.


    Let me paint this picture fit you guys:


    Chris Paul has gotten injured in each of these playoff series dating back to 2014:


    2018 WCF
    2017 WCFR
    2016 WCFR
    2015 WCFR
    2014 WCSF

    Chris Paul hasn’t had a healthy playoff run in over half a decade.


    Him going so far last year was honestly lucky. I’m expecting an injury realistically.


    He usually gets injured late in long series. Game 5s and 6s.

    2nd seed = Denver + Portland loss
    3rd seed = Denver win + Portland loss
    4th seed = Denver + Portland win

    Right?

    It's possible, but so far they haven't shown they will tank games for seeding.

    Harden was never winning MVP. All tonight did was make the voters feel a little better about their decision and maybe swing a couple of votes toward Paul George.

    They are not going to lose at home, we are the 4th seed, and will face the toughest opponent in the first round in Utah.
