I know lot of Rockets fans hate TMac, but he's still my favorite player of all time.

That being said, getting the 7th seed has never been more crucial.

I respect alot of former Rockets. Chuck Hayes, Carl Landry, Scola, Lowry, Battier. All those guys are warriors and i have nothing but good things to say about them.

But Tmac? He's a quitter and a bitchy one at that.

Which is why Yao had his jersey retired here in Houston and Mcgrady never will.

ok thanks. didn't realize Utah was still alive, but you're right.

So I'm hoping for Rockets beat Lakers and Warriors beat Blazers. That way we get the 7th seed and face the Spurs instead of Nuggets. The Spurs are old and banged up, I think we have a legitimate shot at beating them.

Meanwhile the Warriors definitely want the Nuggets over the Spurs. Spurs just own the Warriors. I guess you could say Denver has too, but when I watch a Warriors/Denver game I at least feel like the Warriors could have won.

Yep, more reason to crush the Spurs. Prime McGrady was a joy to watch, but he's now dead to me. We definitely need to destroy the Lakers and maintain the 7th seed.

I want the Rockets to face the Spurs.

Oh yeah, I hated on TMAC more than anyone...even on this board towards the tail end of his stint here with us. I was merely stating McGrady was one of the primary reasons I fell in love w/ the sport, so I can't truly erase that. I hope we crush em and the Spurs in the first round....too bad we're losing to LA tomorrow. :(

But yea McGrady is one of my all time favs too. Happy to see him back in the league... but if we beat them in the 1st round he really is cursed.

Even though it could cost GS the 6 seed, I'm wishing Houston the best tonight against LA. If GS doesn't beat POR, they don't deserve the 6 seed anyway. So.. beat those Lakers!

Congrats to the Lakers, but I will be rooting so hard for the Spurs and T-Mac (lulz). Good season Houston, you have overachieved, but now is the time to learn how to play organized basketball.
