They're stuck right now in eighth, and they need losses by the Warriors and Timberwolves, and it didn't look like those losses were coming with the strength that those respective teams were on. Now you look at the standings, and you're like, well, Let's see what happens in four weeks because the Clippers, they don't have tiebreaker over Minnesota, but they're closer in the loss column.

And they do have the tiebreaker against the Warriors and played in the last week of the season. All these games matter.

Yeah, I think the Rockets are a little scarier than they get credit for because not only will they defend every now and again. I mean, obviously, tonight was not a night for defense for the most part. But I'll tell you what, I'll give them credit for the defense they played in the third quarter. They were down 25 with 10 minutes to let go in the third quarter.

And they tied it by the end of that quarter. Yeah. Found time to be down 10 in the fourth quarter. Forced overtime and then survived in overtime. If the Rockets make shots... Like Jalen Green's going to be inefficient. He's going to take a bunch of shots. It's going to be nasty looking, whatever. But if someone like Jabari Smith Jr.

is going to get hot and play with confidence, I like Jabari Smith Jr. He's tall. He can shoot. He defends. He rebounds. He just doesn't do it consistently. And he doesn't have the ball skills that make you think his ceiling is going to be high enough. Not on this team.

But if that dude can make shots and play with some, you know, just some hair on his damn chest, then he's going to be a problem in an X Factor, especially considering he's coming off the bench. Like, I think that... You know, he has determined that he's not going to start. Jabari is not going to start under any circumstances.

A man Thompson took his starting job and then a man Thompson sprays his ankle and he's not going to start Jabari Smith. Terry Eason is going to start. And you know what? If Jabari Smith Jr. can accept that role and determine he's going to crush whoever is in the second unit opposite him, that's going to be a difference maker because the Houston Rockets have good players in that starting lineup.
