    Of course you and the rest of the low iq posters negate the fact that we’ll be playing the Nuggets on the road as the Lakers have two candy home matchups and the Nuggets play OKC and the Spurs. Nuggets lose tie breaker to Lakers. Funny how dumb every single poster is in crying about a matchup on the road against the Lakers that will most likely never exist.

    Man I ain't going too excited over not having a meaningless win (or - a catastrophically hilarious loss -) over a LeBron LaRavia Lakers while subsequently getting chainsawed by OKC in 3.5 games.


    Does anyone fondly remember the 25 Timberwolves? Who got gifted a berth in the WCF after the Warriors used their whole health bar vs the Rockets prior? No?

    The Rockets at least have a *chance* against Denver - the stoppable force of their offense vs the moveable object of Denver defense - which is why they played evenly this year (refs stole that 1 game in Denver).

    Neither outcome really all that different a few weeks from now.

    Doesn't matter if Rockets need or don't need HCA. This is still a clear middle finger from Kerr to Houston. Not a big deal, but still a clear f*** you.

    It's obvious that Kerr hates the Rockets to the depth of his soul, but why? We have never beaten those bastards, he should love us

    lol it cracks me how many people are dismissing a possible second round appearance. Since 1997, the Rockets have only made the second round of the playoffs six times. Six time in almost 30 years. Making the second round would be fantastic for our young core.

    crying over not having HCA in a matchup against the Lakers carcass is crazy

    if you need HCA to beat this Lakers team, then that’s just pathetic

    It's not about HCA, it's about facing Denver over the Lakers and the chance of that happening is high and the most likely outcome now.

    These are the most sensible replies to a thread I have seen in a long time.

    OP said this after giving the title of the thread us being “screwed out of homecourt”

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

    The premise of this thread is regarding a matchup with the Lakers, no?

    also, although Denver’s final 2 games are against OKC and SA, those teams have already clinched the 1st and 2nd seed respectively so have nothing to play for

    I wouldn't even mind getting thrashed by Denver if it means that Ime gets fired this off-season.

    Those two home games against LAL last month were depressing and cost us HCA.

    Not according to last night, Durant went back to the top of the key and we turned it over 9 times in the 4th.

    Here hoping we get the 5th seed vs Lakers

    I think we go up to La, and cream them good, take them back to Houston and go for a sweep at home.

    Lakers are done, did you see them vs Dallas? we are better, than dallas.

    Luka and Reeves out, they not even a play in team.
    I prefer us getting the 5th, so we can smoke them on the road, and silent there dumb fans and season in LA.

    Will be nice....

    Home court would be nice but I don’t really care about it. I’ve seen and been to too many home playoff losses. I was there for all the home losses against the Mavs in 04 or 05 that first Tmac year. I didn’t go to a playoff game for a long time after that.
