Looks like you guys are making the playoffs

[baseline bum]

Houston owns the tiebreaker on Utah thanks to better conference record, so with the Jazz loss to Dallas tonight all the Rockets have to do is beat Sacramento at home Wednesday and they're in. I'm guessing they'll get that done, so let's pencil the Rockets into the 8th seed.

I'll also assume the Warriors get #73 Wednesday at home against Memphis, which drops Memphis to 39 losses, tied with Dallas. So if Dallas wins their home game against the Spurs (which is likely since the Spurs will probably rest guys with their playoff series likely starting Saturday), the Mavs move into at worst the 6 seed and Memphis drops to 7. So let's put the Grizz there.

Dallas owns the tiebreaker over Portland, but they're one back in the loss column with each team having a single game left. So Dallas can move up to the 5 seed with a win over the Spurs if Portland loses at home to Denver. I don't think that's very likely, so Portland at 5 and Dallas at 6 looks like the best best.

The top 4 seeds are already set in stone. So it looks like the seeds are pretty likely to be:

1. Warriors
2. Spurs
3. Thunder
4. Clippers
5. Blazers
6. Mavs
7. Grizzlies
8. Rockets

With 5 vs 6 dependent on whether Portland beats Denver.

I thank Fredo and the double snitch backcourt.

There is always hope for Bev taking out Elian's knee like he did Westbrook though.

^ Never seen a timeout not be called in the playoffs like that.

Going for the transition score was a good gamble there. Harden asking for the ball and going into a double team probably wasn't.

i think the rockets can give the worriers a run for their money

[AlexJones]

Sacramento will cover whatever the spread is.

Bob Voulgaris mentioned it before, but George Karl has this thing going on where his team usually turns a 15 point deficit into a 9 point deficit late in games out of nowhere. Some fucking Donaghy shit going on.

That Rocket that enters the key at the FT line is wide farking open for the catch and layup if ballhog Kardashian would have looked for him. Good non call timeout by Herman.

If you watch at the Warriors end, the center who shoots has him momentum carry him all the way into the crowd. 5 on 4 for Houston if they act quickly. Which they did, but then Kardashian f'd up.

Rockets will choke against the Kings.

Jazz are plagued with injuries, so they'll be Worriers first opponents. Luckiest team of all time

I can't find anything wrong with this play except James Harden having the misfortune of running into a double team with time running out

EDIT: Actually there was a guy cutting to the basket and Harden didn't see him fast enough
