Do you folks keep track of the tie-breaker for the Rockets?
If Rockets tie up with those teams, who own the tie-breaker?
How does it work?

NBA tie-breaking procedure
In the event that two teams are tied in the standings, a series of tiebreakers is applied to determine playoff position:
a. Results of games against each other.
b. Higher winning percentage in conference games.
c. Higher winning percentage within division (if teams are in the same division).
d. Higher winning percentage against playoff teams in own conference.
e. Higher winning percentage against playoff teams in opposite conference.
f. Higher point differential between points scored and points allowed.
Thanks, Google search!

why worry about tie break when your winning pct is higher than them?
just keep winning and forget about the tie break

MaxRider is right on this one. Good to know about tiebreakers, but if you do what you're supposed to, then you'll get that higher seed.
Also, a tiebreak victory is empty unless you do something with it in the playoffs. I hope this is the year I finally see the Rockets in the semis.

Thing is our 4th quarter collapse's, but anyways what if both teams are playing the same type of ball and end up with a tie breaker... As close as the standings are, it is very well likely.

If you want the tie breaker with Portland, you will need to win our next matchup in Houston.
