    Rockets are 7th in West according to Hollinger's Power Rankings. Tumble, tumble, tumble.

    Yet, still 2 games better than the Blazers, who remain locked in the 5th seed with 4 other teams maneuvering around them. Most likely, any team you play including the Rockets you'll be playing on the road, so you are bragging about what again? Being 5th in the west? You guys are better than that lol.

    Had your team not played in the worst division in the west (While the Rockets play in one of the best division in the history of the NBA) you'd have been 'tumbling' down the standings too.

    Houston is 53-26, won 7 of their last 10.

    This thread was soooo prophetic.

    A 4th seed that starts the series on the road defeats the entire purpose of being a 4th seed. Really record wise you're the 6th seed, but since the current rules don't allow you from dropping in the standings you'll be playing on the road to start the series any ways. I've never seen a fan so happy about being the 5th seed and bragging about it no less...

    We are the 4th seed which means we don't have to play 3rd seed. Deal with it. Right now, YOUR team is the 6th seed and it your team faces the Spurs, your team will get swept. I hope you get 5 seed though cuz we would destroy you.

    Funny little tidbit from the rockets twitter. They never lost more than two consecutive games. Guess we were the ones tumbling, only buoyed by our weak division.

    We are 4th seed. Rockets are doing the tumbling because they can't compete with Spurs. Meanwhile, we are 3-1 vs Spurs.

    He's quite easy to manipulate. You shouldn't take advantage.
