Houston still has to beat Sacramento while Utah gets the Lakers... 8th seed is far from a done deal, even if Dallas wins this game.

Not so, Houston has tie-breaker - all Rockets have to do is win if Dallas takes care of business tonight.

Wait how is it "not so" if Houston still has to win? Lol. All he ment is Houston has lost lots of winnable games so it's not decided yet.

Yep... But he's a Houston fan, so I can understand how he thinks its a forgone conclusion.

Well, reading his post it sounded like he was saying Houston needed to win and Utah needed to lose. Perhaps I misunderstood him.

All I'm saying is that Houston probably needs to win because the chances of the Jazz losing to the Lakers are pretty slim.

Well, I think its a pretty good bet Houston beats Sacramento the last game. Of course its not guaranteed but I see the Rockets winning....

Bryan_Wilson · 04-11-2016, 10:31 PM

So with the win Mavs lock up a 5-7 spot. Leaving Houston with a chance to miss the playoffs or make it as an 8 seed vs warriors and lose their pick in Lawson trade. I'm fine with that lose lose scenario for Houston.

SMFH, Rondo is such a cancer -- probably the worst thing to happen to Cousins' already-tumultuous career... Enjoy getting trounced by GS!

That same Sac team ur so confident in beating is up 13 right now on the same broken down Suns team Rockets just lost to. Just thought I'd point that out.

Can't argue with you there.

Hilarious that Rockets fans still come around here like we give a sh**. I soooo knew they would though.

Bryan_Wilson · 04-12-2016, 12:29 AM

Somewhere Mark Sanchez is off his feet applauding.

Karl took that job knowing that he wasn't going to see the end of the contract. He sure behaved that way.

He tried to get their best player traded before the season even started. What the hell was he thinking?

It does make you appreciate Carlisle.

Underdog · 04-13-2016, 12:32 PM

Funny thing is that George Karl is probably the 5th or 6th person on the list who needed to be kicked out of Sacramento... The owners, GM, PG and C are easily bigger problems.

I think when you get a player like Cousins, the owner/GM need to put the right pieces around him, players and staff included. Yeah he's been a huge headache so far without the team success to show for it, but I think he's a top 5 player if the organization can get its shit together and put him in a good environment.

But yeah, Karl absolutely has to go. I think, if Cousins and Rondo really get along as well as it seems, they should keep them both and try to reload around them.

Rondo is a cancer who is going to destroy DeMarcus Cousins' career... In the last two weeks alone:

@BenGolliver: Kings' Rajon Rondo & DeMarcus Cousins get technical fouls for the simultaneous sarcastic clap at referee Marc Davis
@SeanCunningham: With 6.7 secs remaining DeMarcus Cousins picks up his 16th tech of he year. Rajon Rondo picks up 2 techs and is ejected.

@AminESPN: Lol Rondo Cousins and Collison didn't even make the trip, and coaching staff didn't know until team was on plane

The only thing in Sacramento worse than Rondo is the guy who signed him -- Vlade is easily the worst GM in the league (rival GMs say he doesn't even know how the cap works!)

The NBA should've moved that dumpster fire of a franchise to Seattle when they had a chance...

DevinHarriswillstart · 04-13-2016, 01:43 PM

Lost in all of this is Cauley-Stein who is going to need a decent coach to develop him. You can't just waste high draft picks like that...especially when they're athletic defensive centers.

And yeah, Divac is totally clueless and doesn't look like someone opposing GMs would want to work with.

@espn_macmahon: Mark Cuban: "I'm a huge Kobe fan now that he's retiring."

@espn_macmahon: Mark Cuban says he thought he had a deal done that would have shipped Kobe to Dallas for Josh Howard and Jason Terry in 2007.

Bullsh$&. Spurs scrubs always give us trouble and it's because Rick has his head up his butt

@ESPNSteinLine: Rockets make the playoffs ... but it means a first-round date with Golden State and their 2016 first-round pick is bound for Denver

BPo001 · 04-13-2016, 09:35 PM

F'n Kobe is loving every second of this D sucking fest. I've enjoyed watching him over the years, but I'm glad his year is over. Tired of hearing about him. He should have retired years ago.

As much as I wanted the Rockets to miss the playoffs I think them losing their 1st round pick and most likely getting swept by GS is probably the better scenario.

BPo001 · 04-13-2016, 09:37 PM

What's the over/under for number of shots Kobe takes tonight? 30?

EricaLubarsky · 04-13-2016, 09:42 PM

GSW is the team that doesn't foul. Harden is the new Wade.

Predictions? What happens when Iggy bear hugs Harden as he gets away with in other games?

Mavericks Rockets Fan · 04-13-2016, 10:42 PM

Grizz getting pounded. Looks like 6th is a lock.

BPo001 · 04-13-2016, 10:44 PM

Kobe has 20 shots in the 1st half.

And only 7 makes.

Underdog · 04-13-2016, 11:21 PM

@bobbykaralla: Kobe will almost certainly become the fifth 37-year-old (or older) ever to score 40 in a game, joining Dirk, MJ, KAJ, and K. Malone.

Copycat... Oh well, Dirk will just have to one-up him next year.

Also, 13-32 so far.

Underdog · 04-13-2016, 11:31 PM

@BallinWithBryan: Steph Curry currently has 402 made 3s this season. The Milwaukee Bucks had 440 for the season.

Wow. That's a pretty incredible stat.

BPo001 · 04-13-2016, 11:39 PM

Kobe is just going to keep firing away. 43 points on 16-40 shooting.
