Tough loss. Looks like we are just destined for the 7th seed

Not really, we hold the tiebreaker against gs and they still have to play LAL and SAS left while we have scrubs and LAL

Agreed, just seems like every time we get a chance to grab the 6th seed we flop

Golden state loses to LA, so we are tied again in losses.

Rockets:
Sacramento
@Phoenix
@LA

Warriors:
San Antonio
@Portland


Still possible to grab the 6th seed with this remaining schedule if they buckle down and take care of business.

If we get the 6th seed, do I have it correct that we would play the winner of the 4-5 matchup between the grizzlies and clippers in the off chance that we beat the 3 seed? That would make for one hell of a 2nd round matchup.

We would play the 2 in the second round

Sorry that was rude. I think I would rather play the spurs than nuggets, so I don't care if we get the 6 seed.

1/8 plays 4/5, 2/7 plays 3/6

Would love to see the Rockets get the 6th seed and knock out the Lakers all in one game!

Harden could go for 50 if he wanted and played the 4th.

I wanted to play the spurs. There's no way we even win one game IN Denver

When did faried get hurt? That changes everything

He got hurt tonight, but the Clip could still catch the Nuggets and get into the 3 seed. They are one game back with two games remaining.

Good to get a blowout and rest some guys...tomorrow night's game is big for seeding. Win that one and we're no worse than 7. Throw in a GS loss to the Spurs and that would clinch 6th.

Landed on a foot and hurt his ankle. He's listed as day to day. Missing the next road trip and getting an MRI. Lawson looks to be getting healthy just in time for the playoffs.

I think the 7-seed against the Spurs is our best chance for a round one win.

None of the scenarios are "good" but I feel best about that one.

Our "best" chance is LA making the 3 seed

With two cupcake games to go for both Denver and LAC it is looking more and more like a Nuggets-Rockets first round matchup. I think Denver has the tiebreaker over LAC (2-1).

It also looks like OKC has the 1-seed locked up. Which begs the question who would you rather play round 1? Spurs or Nuggets? Tough call and I think you can make a lot of arguments both ways. I'd personally rather play the Spurs.

I'd much rather play the Spurs than the Nuggets. They haven't looked all that great lately, and now that they've waived Jackson I think they are vulnerable against an explosive team like us.

Then again, if Faried is out for an extended period of time, then the Nuggets are also much weaker as well. But I'd still prefer SA

8th seed and playing OKC first round looking very likely

Was actually just thinking the same thing was possible if we don't get it going soon...still a long way to go tonight, though.

We need to win tonight and lose to LA Wednesday which will hopefully put us as the 7 seed.

No chance the rockets lose this game. None.

Win by 8+. Book it

I see what you did there...

Scola and Dragic wreaking havoc on their former team...Scola with 21, Dragic with 12 and 13 assists. Describing our defense so far as "porous" would be kind.
