Rockets reg season ova. Predictions for the post season?

Yes they finally came together. Altuve has been amazing. That little kid can play baseball. The whole team is hot. Love our pen. 2 sweeps in a row! What! Slow start but we did that last season. We will have 100+ wins again and make a serious run for the pennant. I'm excited again this season! Been a fan a long time. Lots of heartbreak over the years crying in my domefoam. Lol. I cried when we won the WS. Like real tears and im not that kind of girl.

Yeah, everyone's doing great and they are such a fun team to watch. But I think the infield is a big reason the pitching looks so good. Nothing gets by them. Best in the League. But got to keep reminding myself to rein in expectations. It's a long season and everyone's gotta stay healthy.

I'm liking this match up with Utah.
So far so good.

hmm maybe we should to watch the game together!

Western Conference:

Rockets up 2-0 against Utah. They're looking pretty good right now.

Trailblazers up 2-0 against OKC.

Warriors and Clippers tied 1-1. How the fuck the Warriors blow a 31-POINT LEAD I'll never know. Hell everyone in the playoffs took notice of that shit!

Spurs and Nuggets tied 1-1.


Eastern Conference:

Bucks up 2-0 against the Pistons. I'm saying sweep. Bucks are the strongest team in the NBA right now.

Celtics up 2-0 against the Pacers.

Raptors and Magic tied 1-1.

Nets and 76ers tied 1-1.

Montrez Harrell and Patrick Beverly not giving up when the Warriors thought they could coast from their third quarter lead is how the Clippers came back. Seems like Kerr let's the Warriors get complacent at times. I doubt it happens again.



While it wasn't 31 points the Celtics came back(after getting booed) and finished strong last night.

The Rockets window to win it all is wide open this season, but starts to close next year. CP3 is 33 and most of the pieces (Gordon, Tucker, Capela) are under contract next season.

The Warriors lack depth, and have had some chemistry issues. They are beatable. Denver does not look ready for a long playoff push. OKC is awful.

If Houston can get past the West, what a great Finals it would be seeing them battle the Bucks, Raptors or Celtics. I am still picking the East to win it all. The Bucks have everything they need to get a ring.

Yep I must agree. If the Bucks played the Warriors the Bucks would win it. They got serious depth and that boy Giannis would have no competiton defensively and offensively.

The Bucks will sweep this series.
The Celtics will more than likely sweep being up 3-0
The Raptors are getting their mojo back and will win this series.
The 76er's are looking better but still without Embiid playing the series can go either way despite being up 2-1.

Whoa!
3-0
Game 3 was like football.
Crazy

A kick in the balls for the Jizz.

When you're up 2-0 (and by blowouts), playing away and your star player is having an off night, it's easy to let the game slip away, thinking that'll you'll wrap it up at home. This is a very good sign that the team gutted it out and won this one. Also, loved Harden and Paul's response to the "did you know your were 0-15" question at the end of the game.

Last night was one of the sloppiest games I've seen them play and still win. I was shocked that they were able to keep up. Each time it seemed like they were about to let it get away somebody found a way to score. The bench came up with 30 points. That game should give them some confidence that they can will themselves to a W with grit.

West:

Yeah Game 3 was sloppy as fuck. Rockets won that based off of horrible shooting by the Jazz. Rockets will sweep tonight if Harden is anywhere on his game.

Warriors up 3-1 with a chance to advance on Wednesday thanks to a 33-point game from KD and a 32-point game from Klay.

Spurs and Nuggets tied 2-2.

TrailBlazers up 3-1 on OKC, which looks to be going down in Game 5.


East:

Celtics swept the Pacers, like I thought.

76er's up 3-1 on the Nets.

Bucks will sweep the Pistons tonight.

Raptors up 3-1 on the Magic.

Jazz are giving the rest of the west a blueprint on how to shut Harden down. They're taking away the step back three by not facing him straight up. They're inviting him to drive to the basket and Gobert is either blocking the shot or altering it. Doesn't help that Harden can't get a call and the Rockets are getting ticky tack calls. CP3 is keeping them in the game early.
