OFFICIAL Postseason race thread *Sticky*

Man, that Clippers loss is still eating at me (sorry for the negativity). Anyways, if they can contain whatever guard lineups Dallas rolls out; Harris/D-Will/Barea/Felton, I really like our chances even if Dirk and Wes go off.

On the plus side, we were only 48% favorites to win today, so we technically won a game in which we were not favored.

HOUSTON (AP) -- James Harden shared a private moment with Kobe Bryant after leading the Houston Rockets to a crucial win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.

Of course he congratulated Bryant on his illustrious career. But he also threw in a plea for assistance from the 18-time All-Star.

''On a side note I just told him: 'We need y'all to beat Utah,''' Harden said. ''We just need some help.''

Gobert to Favors pregame: If you're not feeling great, just don't play. We need you 100% tomorrow, don't be 50% tonight and 50% tomorrow.

Our frontcourt has to dominate Wes Matthews/Dirk/Pachulia and David Lee/Salah Mejri.

Also, 538 has Utah as 72% favorites tomorrow and Minnesota as 54% favorites vs. Houston. Those seem a bit high to me.

Considering the playoffs are on the line and we haven't been to the playoffs in 2-3 years then yeah, it is.

Tony Jones said exactly that. Biggest game in four seasons he said. Not sure what he's comparing it to exactly tbh because I would've erased such a crushing game from my memory banks.

Before reading this I had just texted cunning linguist and said that it's probably the biggest game in 5 years.
It's our superbowl. Hopefully we are not nervous/tight due to the magnitude of the game.
Dallas has hella vets, I doubt they will too nervous.

Going to be a helluva stressful, fun, exciting game.

Minnesota is on a 3 game winning streak and aren't resting players. They are on rest too while Houston is on a B-2-B. Minnesota should be able to put up a lot of points. They also have only played Houston 2 times all year, both times at Houston and lost by 3 points and 5 points. This is the first game they will play @ home vs Houston. I fully expect Minnesota to win.

I hope so. I think you're right about MIN putting up a ton of points tomorrow. Their points per game in the last couple months is crazy high and the Rockets have been giving up a ton of points even in their wins.

And what is Utah? Giving away a game at home against another team's subs...that's some really stinky bull ****.

If Gobert can't dominate on the boards and defensively, he's too big a liability to play. I don't know what his ****ing problem is, but if he can't come to play, he shouldn't come at all. QS needs to park Rudy's sorry *** on the end of the bench. Move Derrick to the 5 and play Lyles. Gobert needs to be Gonebert if he doesn't improve his game.

Bruh please change your name ASAP. You don't deserve to be named after Gobert.
