    Yes, Houston lost their division.
    Yes, Houston could drop to the 5th seed and lose homecourt advantage with a Portland win.
    Yes, the Rockets have no excuse for why they lost to the Mavericks.

    But...   {Insert Optimistic Feedback Here}

    But at least we don't have to put up with the Jazz and their jobbed refs.

    The likely first round matchup appears to be the Blazers ... a team we've historically played well against. Also the one team (not named the Lakers) that doesn't have a considerable advantage over us at PG.

    But even if the Blazers win tonight, one quick win in Portland and we take the homecourt advantage right back. Plus, they're not all that great -- at least not yet.

    Think of it this way, at least only one team can win the NBA championship. There are 29 losers.
