    No Curry after playing against us......FFS - this is the GS Warriors giving the Lakers the 4th seed.

    What a ****ing joke.

    What’s the rest of the schedule look like?
    I’d like homecourt as well

    but if we can’t beat 41 year old LeBron, blow up the Toyota center

    The Lakers will not have Reaves and potentially Luka either, if the Rockets can not handle a Lakers team starring a 41 year old Lebron, then they wouldn't have made it far anyway.

    We lose the tie breaker to them, they win out, we win out.

    GS ****ed us.

    Of course Curry came back against the Rockets and played like it was game 7 in the playoffs but misses the Lakers game.

    Can't get upset about it. If LA doesn't have Luka or Reeves and we still lose to them, it won't be due to home court advantage - it will be because we suck.

    Look- the Rockets already have been gifted a match up against the Lakers without Luka and Reeves. The Rockets wouldn’t beat Minnesota, a healthy Lakers team, Denver, San Antonio or OKC…. This is the one match up the Rockets win… a crippled Lakers team.

    I’m not sweating the Warriors “screwing” the Rockets… they should win the Lakers series regardless, and if they don’t, then they need fold up their tent.

    I don't care about HCA, if we can't beat LA without luka and reaves in 5 games at most, then we don't deserve it.

    At any rate the Rockets made their bed. The fact that they own zero tie breakers amongst the top 5 teams in the West is on them because they f**** around all year. Now they have to lie in that bed.

    We screwed ourselves by losing both of our games to the Lakers.

    If Nuggets loses one of the remaining 2 games (vs OKC and Spurs)
    Do the Rockets play against the Nugget?

    The Rockets don't need home court to beat this Lakers team.

    The warriors screwed us……. By losing ? So we will play the lakers as 5th seed and therefore willl have to play okc assuming we meet in the second round? As opposed to Denver? Let’s relax with the theory crafting and let the chips fall where they may. The majority of our team is not even in their primes yet. Regardless of our seed it’s going to be difficult to get to the WCF . However if everyone bets against the rockets and Vegas can make more money by letting the rockets win that’s what will happen. Take a close look at how the refs call the games and we will see

    I think so, but not sure.

    If Nuggets, Lakers, and Rockets finish with the same records, Lakers will be 3rd, Denver 4th, Houston 5th.

    If we want to face the Lakers, we need to pray that Denver wins out the remaining two games.

    Who gives a crap homecourt or not vs Lakers, Ya should be more worried facing the Nuggets in 1st round, which is very possible still,
