    Quite the year for the world.

    International civil rights violations, global pandemic plus protests on systemic failures in U.S.

    Rockets need to adjust switch everything defense vs. Bucks to more of a Wall defense similar to what Raptors and Celts used so successfully.

    Dallas caught a huge break with the uneven schedule. They have 3 more losses than Houston, but due to playing more games, they're only 1.5 back by win percentage. If they beat the Rockets head-to-head in the one game it looks like they'll have, that basically makes it a 0.5 game lead for the Rockets with seven other games on the schedule.

    That said, it's not as bad as it might sound. Because even if Dallas made a run, the Rockets are tied with OKC and only 1 back (with the tiebreaker) of Utah. So they could conceivably still pass one or both of them.

    Bottom line, avoiding the No. 7 seed is important, because that probably means Clippers in the first round. And while it's unlikely, it's definitely not impossible.

    I’ll gladly take a strong team in the 1st round.

    Just hoping to see Golden State unleash wiggin, Curry, Thompson.

    Not really pulling for Golden State, just really want to see how rockets counter Thompson and wiggins.

    God speed Houston, Golden State, hulkamaniacs worldwide!

    I think they are only bringing back 22 teams, not the bottom-feeders. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    And we ain't even half way to the middle of this year! This is still early June!

    Imagine how that Orange skin guy is going to be on Twitter like crazy in August, if there are NFL practice game, and all the NFL players start taking a knees.

    And you know the NBA players are going to do something to stick it to PTOUS. Lebron, WB, and CP3 ain't going to let that dude Tweet all day since it won't cost Lebron any Chinese money. Hell, maybe even the Chinese is asking Lebron to shove it to PTOUS
