Despite being a study in dysfunction for much of the 2015-16 NBA season, the Houston Rockets are in the playoffs.

At least currently.

The Rockets find themselves down two games to none to the mighty Golden State Warriors even though the greatest player on the planet, Steph Curry, didn’t play in Game 2.

Houston’s ouster is a mere formality, at least to the guys who analyze games at TNT.

Mike Goldfarb, who produces the “Shaqtin’ A Fool” segment on the network captured this graphic from Tuesday night’s telecast.

Ouch! Although we can’t say we disagree.

“We’ve got some lovely parting gifts for you, Houston. Johnny, tell ’em what they’ve won.”
