    if we have the same record as portland they have the tie-breaker and to do that they just need to be beat the lakers tonight and the kings tomorrow.

    It shouldn’t have come down to this last game, but this is just indicative of the Rockets entire season and why they botched so many games this year.

    THEY WILL LAY IN THE BED THAT THEY MADE.

    We already knew that when Curry bragged about making a statement on the Rockets home court and they let him cash that in without resisting. They're a good team but they don't look like a serious contender to me.

    Damn I really feel like Harden lost the MVP on that last shot. We would have been the two seed.

    Funny thing is Houston had big leads in at least 2 of the games. Houston just doesn't play for 48 minutes and athletic effort teams give Houston the most trouble.

    I'd rather have us avoid OKC in the first round

    Tucker really messed up the cover, should have given him the two, staying with his body in front of PG, blocking a pass for the corner three and making a tough cutting pass with little time off a double team for a two

    One point game at OKC with both teams going all out. Not that upset at this loss but the 4th quarter debacle is frustrating. Playing the 4th against Utah isn’t all that bad than facing the spurs at 2.

    He’s one of the best players in the league but Harden has just come up short so many times when it matters most. Hope he can change the narrative in the playoffs but what a terrible note to finish this great season of his and it’s sadly way too familiar.

    Absolutely.... you can throw Clint in there...I thought he played like a nookie tonight. Jimmy had a crap 4th but no way this is on him. Where is Green and big question Manimal ? And Nene...now there's a joke. Can't believe we lost this game.

    In cases where Green has a hot hand and Gordon is playing like **** would rather go with Green to close the game. Gordon seems to play worse when hes aware he's sucking, and choke harder.

    what difference does it make, I'd rather play them second round fresh then in the WCF when Chris Paul gets injured again. Or do you seriously think any team can beat them for us, keep dreaming. We gotta play them either way

    3 seed is gold and now we probably can't hold on it.
