    I wonder what paper says we are better than the Spurs or Warriors.

    Dmo is the bigger loss. Bev isn't that big of a deal. I actually think we'll do better without him. But with Harden and Howard, we should at least be able to compete with the best of them.

    Not sure I understand the question.

    If you look at who we have on this team right now, if they had a good stretch to develop chemistry I'd say we have a shot at the WCF, yes.

    But since we are so discombobulated by the constant lineup changes due to people going in and out from injury, we are no where near where we need to be to achieve that goal.

    I think Bev is a bigger loss considering opposing point guards in the playoffs and how thin the Rockets are in that position.

    And we were in Utah. And we were playing less than 24 hours later after the game at Portland(9:30 PM tip one night, 8 PM tip the next).

    The Rockets will beat Utah on Wednesday if home court(and possibly the division) is on the line.

    The 2nd seed.

    Today went perfectly planned for us. Memphis hasn't technically lost yet but they are down 20 with a few minutes left. Both okc and nop won. Thus prompting the pelicans to play balllls out against the spurs Wednesday.

    Now if nop beats the spurs Wednesday and we beat Utah, we well end the season as the 2nd seed.

    Who has the tie breaker between the Clippers and the Grizzles?

    Grizz lost tonight, and if Clips loose we jump to 3rd seed while they tie for 5th and 6th, and we would be facing the 6th seed on the assumption that the Spurs win their last game.

    If Clippers lose this, we win and SA wins the next game we get the 3 seed and have play either the Clippers or Memphis (tiebreak loser) in round 1?

    If so I want the clips to come back right now

    Clippers currently hold the tiebreaker with the better conference record(barely).

    We would be winning the division which beats any tiebreakers, thus making us the 2 if we win and spurs lose.

    If clips lose tonight and we win at utah and spurs win, we are the 3 seed.
