    Rockets need to go 6-1, and nuggets 3-3! For Houston to get the 4th seed am.i right?


    Nuggets plays spurs twice and thunder once.

    Do we have a better chance against the Lakers than against the Spurs? I'm not convinced we can contain Doncic and Lebron will get that horse injection and look like prime Lebron again. Reaves can take over as well. I think i'd rather face the Spurs.

    The Spurs half court game troubles Houston. The Rockets have a better chance vs the Lakers.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if the Lakers send this team home in 5 or 6.

    If it ends with Ujoka being fired, I'll take it.

    That’s some strong wingman mentality, bro. ‘Ah well, even if she’s a 4, at least I got laid.’

    That won’t help much if Stone is still here. This is his doing

    Both of them need to go simultaneously, if Houston collapses in the playoffs.

    We aren't beating anyone in the top 6.

    It seems like that to me too, however they might have an outside chance at upsetting the Lakers. Defense and shooting will be the keys to any success. The Rockets have a long way to go. If Reed loses his confidence off the bench, they will be in great trouble. Ime has to trust him, despite his shortcomings. I don’t think Ime has any patience, unfortunately.

    The only goal is to win the championship. This is a now or never team. We have to play San Antonio or OKC eventually anyway. Come what may.

    The best chance we have of making it out of the first round is the Nuggets. Doncic is a madman on a mission at the moment.

    If we don't get 20 plus from the bench we'll be gentlemen swept no matter who it is.

    Honestly, looking at the introductions, the vibes are strongly positive in this one.

    Bro, have you paid any attention to Luka this season? Asking for that matchup is like asking for the warriors. None of these matchups are good for the rockets.

    3rd seed is still possible (when we consider Lakers' and Nuggets' remaining opponents)

    3rd seed is unlikely if you consider the Thunder and Spurs have nothing left to play for. No way guys like SGA/Wemby play many minutes in those games.
