    Lowry is out for Toronto. This game is very winnable.

    if we win our remaining 4 divisional games (@DAL, @SAS, vs SAS, vs NO), we win the tiebreaker

    or if MEM loses their remaining division game vs NO, we can go 3-1 and win the tiebreak

    Yea, I think everyone who reads/comments in these threads likely knows the schedule/standing situation but please, continue to be a buzzkill.

    Grizz have been playing like garbage and have a tough road as well.

    It's amazing the Rockets are sitting where they are sitting. Even if you are impressed by the position they are in, I think we can all agree Rockets aren't even playing their best basketball. I still remember just last week being pretty angry Rockets couldn't pull out a win against a weak opponent and gain ground on Memphis. Now Rockets are second. Crazy.

    Do we have enough to give Kahwi Leonard the max this summer?

    Would be excellent next to Dwight and Harden.

    Lou Williams, Derozan and Rudy Gay:p are very capable players.

    Rockets exercised that Clipper demon this year maybe it's Toronto's turn.

    Never underestimate pops propensity to rest his players at the home stretch.

    That's going to be tough. Will have to go at least 3-1 in our remaining games vs division opponents.

    Houston (6-6)
    Apr 2, @Dallas
    Apr 8, @SA
    Apr 10, SA
    Apr 12, NO

    Memphis (8-7)
    Apr 8, NO

    And even then, we still have to hope MEM loses a few more games vs conference opponents (HOU is 28-17, MEM is 31-15).

    conference record is irrelevant if we have a better division record

    Yeah, I know. We could go 4-0 and not have to worry about it, but that's tough.

    How important is that blown call by the refs on Harden by Z-Bo?

    I mean the Rockets won that game and got screwed out of it.

    Gasol came back down and hit a shot. Game would have gone in to overtime, and it is no given that Harden makes those freethrows even if they call the foul. Frankly we played like crap that game. Deserved to lose.

    Harden makes those and it changes everything, even one of them.
