suns/ex-rockets always kill us for some reason

i kinda want to lose anyway

 

[The Insane Dufresne]

The Insane Dufresne, your team always messes up the tank near the end of the season.

I know.

This team is dumb as fuck. They don't have direction (At least the Bobcats stay committed to tanking).

They'll probably be drafting in the bottom half of the lottery for the next 10 years.

If I was sane I would actually root for another team......

 

[Kobe24]

MONTA HAVE IT ALL

 

[GremlinFool]

I think Houston is in tank for seventh seed mode.

 

[Vic]

JENNNINGS!

 

[Psychological Intellect]

HOLY SHIT MONTA

 

[ratcliffja]

Argh, don't play with my heart, Bucks. I can just feel foul shots coming up on this next possession.

 

[thekad]

Rockets are not interested in this game at all.

 

[Matrix]

Dragic and scola are trolling the rockets

Only fitting.

"I think Houston is in tank for seventh seed mode."

I'd rather them face the Spurs than the Nuggets so I'm okay with that. Would not be okay with them falling to 8th though.

 

[Edgeward]

Goddamn you, Bucks. Rot in hell.

 

[ratcliffja]

Close enough. Sigh.

 

[Smokey]

I think Houston is in tank for seventh seed mode.

They should be. Nuggets have destroyed the rockets this year and have won every game. If they play the rockets I feel they will be the first team in history to beat a team 8 times in one season

 

[Vic]

Fucking pathetic. Fuck the Bucks.

 

[jjasper]

Has there been a team as clutch as Denver this year? They always find ways to pull shit out.

 

[masud]

Sheed

 

[Cloudy]

And Denver escapes

 

[linsivvi]

I don't see any point for the Lakers to make the playoffs without Kobe. The embarrassment might have a slim chance of getting Pringles fired.

Let the Jazz play. At least they have a healthy roster.

 

[Matrix]

DMo in this early? lol Rockets totally giving no fucks tonight.

 

[ratcliffja]

Now our only hopes for the 3rd seed lie with the Suns.... yeah, not happening.

 

[Kobe24]

Lakers will beat Houston on Wed. and Rockets slip to 8th. OKC vs. Hou. It's only destiny for the beard

 

[Zeus Molecules]

Sheed

just a sore foot. but yeah 3 minutes

 

[Smokey]

Rockets looking ahead to being America's team on Wednesday I ain't even mad

 

[Edgeward]

Now our only hopes for the 3rd seed lie with the Suns.... yeah, not happening.

Believe in the Beez

 

[cacophony]

why are you guys even questioning if hou will beat LA. do you really think the refs will let LA lose that game?

 

[linsivvi]

The Nuggets already have the 3rd seed locked up, no? They won the season series against both Grizzlies and Clippers.

 

[ratcliffja]

I think the refs will make sure it's close either way. Again, it's all about drama.

Edit: The Nuggets split the series with the Clippers 2-2. The tie breaker goes to the team that won their division, which is the Clippers.

 

[Cloudy]

I forgot that Memphis is still playing for homecourt vs. the Clipps.

 

[Vic]

Rockets looking ahead to being America's team on Wednesday I ain't even mad

Not America, the World.

 

[Matrix]

Not America, the World.

lol

 

[GremlinFool]

Would Houston be upset with netting the 8th seed? It's probably the best option if they want to make a run at the WCF. They'll be able to avoid Denver until the WCF, and they can probably handle Memphis or the Clippers in the second round.

 

[Smokey]

U right

 

[Cloudy]

The same refs that give Harden 15 fts a game every other night? I will be REALLY surprised if LA wins that game with Houston playing all their guys

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Harden will cancel out the ref bias

nwahahaahaah

But don't you want to see the Lakers get swept?

Cry me a Kobe.

 

[Vic]

They might miss the playoff by one single game. It's even more miserable than getting swept in the first round.

8th seed is okc bruh. 7th is Spurs who are hurt right now. That would be the best matchup imo

Plus okc and den have wings who can lock Harden up

 

[Matrix]

I would love nothing more than the Rockets to get to face the Spurs and watch Jobber cry about injuries.

 

[masud]

just a sore foot. but yeah 3 minutes

According to Knick pr who lie all the time. His foot could have fallen off for all we know. But 4 minutes doesn't look good.

 

[linsivvi]

I do want to see Harden against the Thunder though. Needs to show them what they are missing.

 

[thekad]

With Stern special guest officiating tomorrow, you should definitely want the Rockets to win tonight.

Wont matter if memphis are still playing for position

 

[mhi]

Would it be too much to ask for D'Antoni or one his assistants to come up with a gameplan on how to defend Harden ? or at least slow him down ? and actually practice that plan ?

Houston can plausibly beat OKC and have done so over the course of the season. I think the Rockets are in a position to make a run at the WCF, but getting Denver in the second round is a complete dead end for them. If they can beat OKC in the first round, they should be able to cruise through the second round and in the best case scenario, a San Antonio team coming into its own has already taken care of Denver by then.

I see you but are you drunk? The rockets have zero chance of beating okc.. You shoulda caught yourself before the end of your first sentence

Antoni? Game plan?

The only way to slow Harden down is to kidnap him and hire a doppelganger.

Edit: shit, combo breaker!!!
