Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports The Houston Rockets have now been contradictory all season, and Monday's 119-112 reduction at the Phoenix Suns is really a sign that this staff might be folding at the incorrect time. The Rockets' damage, coupled with Golden State's win versus the San Antonio Spurs, dropped the Rockets to the seventh place in the Western Conference by one game. Houston may fall back to the eighth spot with a decline at the La Lakers in Wednesday's finale. Likely to complete as the last game of the summer season, a 10:30 p.m. EST start ESPN, the Rockets-Lakers game may take severe implicationsa'or mean little. If the Warriors, who begin at the same time, win against the Portland Trail Blazers, then the Rockets won't manage to go back in the sixth position. And if the Rockets, currently a game prior to the Lakers, wear Wednesday, they eliminate the tie-breaker and fall under the eighth place. Because it stands, very little has to occur for James Harden to return to Oklahoma City to face his former Thunder group. But it could go the other way. If the Warriors lose and the Rockets beat the Lakers, then Houston will confront the third-seeded Denver Nuggets in the very first round. If the Warriors and Rockets gain, then Houston faces second-seeded San Antonio. And remember, the Utah Jazz remain and will be large the greatest Rockets cheerleaders. The Jazz need to gain against the Memphis Grizzlies and need a Lakers' reduction to take the eighth seed. The Rockets needed Monday's gain to avoid all that confusion. Harden completed 5-of-18 for 16 points with two helps and four turnovers.
