    I think it was strategic on two fronts. First, simply to rest guys which is a good idea. Second, to give LA the win so they don't risk falling to the 7th seed. They've been red hot and we don't need them in the first round.

    Unfortunately the Warriors played like crap at home against the Spurs and coughed up what should've been a gimme. So now there's a possibility they wind up 7th.

    he’s looking like a top 5 C out there and is the anchor for the 2nd best defense, I’m just saying

    Yeah im actually not worried about facing them. The only player they have that worries me is Steph and hes not the kind of guy who is going to carry his team to a series win all by himself.

    We will be fine as long as the team stays healthy. Would be a tough match up with the Warriors but I'm confident in Amen locking up Curry. By that time if the Clips advance, Kawhi's knees might give in

    Rockets didn't care. Clips did.

    LA should've won by 30, but Rockets 2nd/3rd string too good.

    Not only that the Warriors being in 7th place just means they have to play a play-in game to keep that spot. I can see them losing to Minnesota and then having to play another play-in game to get the last spot. Everything is fluid right now.

    Clippers will likely finish 4th or 5th

    we could end up with the Warriors in round 1, and the Lakers waiting in round 2

    refs will be in full fckery mode to ensure LA-GS 2nd round series

    This might be the year we beat both Golden State and Scott Foster in the same series. It would be our Double-Revenge tour.

    We'll have to see what happens when Memphis hosts Minnesota tomorrow and then visits Denver on Friday.

    But if the Rockets go into that final game against Denver with the opportunity to put the Nuggets into the play-in instead of the Warriors, Ime needs to play all the starters and try to win that one.
