    Rockets win: this is only the 2nd game backsince the restart. bucks are rusty and will be ready come playoff time and make the finals

    Bucks win: see the rockets were never real contenders for the title

    I think halftime we’re gonna be down but come back at the end and the game will be within 2-3 points but not sure yet who’s gonna win #GoRockets

    Rockets, Lakers, Clippers and Bucks are the most entertaining nba teams to watch

    Are you serious, OKC is probably one of the worst matchups for us. We probably get swept.

    I always feel like we are competitive with Clippers.

    Sometimes holding leads is harder than playing catch up.

    A rockets win is a 2.7x payout.
    I don’t see us standing a chance ever against Milwaukee but that’s still a fantastic payout

    Swept? [​IMG] With OKC I'd be worried about their young defensive stalwarts in Dort and Ferguson, and now with their sensei Roberson back...ugh. Dort and Roberson were a nightmare for Mitchell yesterday. They will give us fits, but sweep us? No.

    ESPN and TNT know that deep down harden has always been a huge ratings draw for them right on par with LeBron and Curry. People may say they dont watch him in comment sections, but the tv ratings dont lie. Harden is the most studied NBA player in modern history, somebody here uploaded a video of the bucks gameplan on how to stop harden and that video had 5 MILLION views. while the channel itself had less than 130,000 subscribers. Thats crazy

    Yea, we're relevant right now. There may be years down the line, where HOU may have gap years until the next Superstar era. We can appreciate it while we have it.

    thunder are a tough match up but no way in hell you want the clippers over them in the playoffs. they have a lot of young players they will be depending on without much playoff experience. Gallo is a known playoff choker also. I would gladly take that over the clippers if given the choice even though all the pressure would be on the rockets to win even if the thunder were the higher seed.
