    It's pretty certain we are going to play Thunder in the first round. It's going to be so hyped with top 2 MVP candidates going against each other and I guess that OKC storyline again. What are ya's prediction for how the series end?

    I got Rockets in 5

    If our shooters are consistent and Harden plays at a high level in every game, then the Rockets should be able to beat them in 5.

    I think we'll end up beating them in 6 games tho

    i think if we just gameplan to make Russ shoots the ball 40+ a game and that's a win. Take his teammates out of the game. We should have swept the season but we allowed Thunder to come back in a game where we were comfortably up.

    I see us taking first 2 at home, then a split in OKC.
    Then the coup de gras in the ToyHouse.

    For whatever reason Westbrook seems to always shoot a really good percentage against us. For that alone I think this will be a 6 game series. And is they're bigs play well, maybe even 7.

    their bigs give the rockets problems and roberson is one of the best defenders in the league at defending harden but if the rockets play to their usual standard i got the rockets winning in 6.

    I'm thinking Westbrick is the MVP for the Rockets with his selfish play hurting his team and the Rockets win in a sweep.

    I think we sweep that POS team. Our guys will be rested and ready to fire while OKC has to play hard just to keep the 6th seed

    I hope.

    Westbrook is on fire right now. If he can have a couple of those 6-30 nights then we should be fine.

    Im thinkin brook wins 2 and rockets get 4

    Will be a sweep. Leave the dust pans at home cause we are just going to push the garbage out to the streets!

    Rockets in 7. There are matchups problems I'm worried about in a playoff setting. Don't think it'll be as easy as everybody seems to think.

    yeah, but he's doing that while not even averaging a DOUBLE double against us, much less a triple. And that's the only stat that matter this year.
