Rockets clinched the 2nd seed. Be mad at your team for not being good enough to finish ahead of a young team. Resting most of their starters at this point. Jalen Green insisted he play as he's the NBA's Iron Man but even he's on a minutes restriction so they can rest for the playoffs. They were an alarming +15.5 spread last night for a good reason.
The Rockets will smash the Lakers if they meet in the second round. But because the Lakers won two meaningless games against the Rockets late in the season everybody is on the Lakers hype train. That's fine. Go cheer for them. I'd love to see the Warriors somehow play the Lakers in the first round. 3 vs. 6 matchup. I wouldn't even mind the Warriors feasting on the Lakers in the first round.
