[Grantland] Will trades keep the Rockets out of the playoffs?

No way, we're definitely making the playoffs.

Still a long way till April so hopefully Harden will be recovered by then too.

 

We still make the playoffs for sure. And I think the trade makes it more likely we'll pull a first round upset than before with the better D and better rebounding at the 4.

 

I am predicting that no only we will make the playoffs but also landing the 6th seed barring any surprises, like losing more than two games to Suns and Kings combined.

I think we will end up getting 47 wins, same as the Warriors. But because we have won the series tiebreaker, we get it.

And we will play the Clippers in the first round. Hope we beat them on 3/30, at least once in the regular season before meeting them again postseason.

 

No it wont, I have the playoff teams ending like this

6. Warriors - 46-36
7-8
Rockets and Lakers both 45-37

9. Jazz - 42-40
Beyond

Blazers - 39-43

Mavricks 36-46
