I am with him. Would you choose Dallas over Seattle for Rockets to faceoff in the 1st round?

To keep us at #6, we don't have to give up the game tonite though. There are still 10-11 games left us.

6 is the magic number. The only sequence for rockets to win the western champ this year is

Win S-eattle in the 1st round;
Win S-purs (with unhealthy Duncan) in the 2nd round;
Win S-uns (some star like Steve, Amare or Shawn will be injured by the western final).

3S, 3Straight wins, again 6 is the magic number.

Being an Aussie Rocket fan as well I was quiet excited. However have reliased that they have changed the game. It is now Suns v Sixers.

You're nuts.
There are so many attributes that make playoff games winable.
No game should be given up.
Rockets must make push for 5th, maybe 4th seed (yeah right).

No tanking, No positioning, No prisoners! The team must have a Sura-like "bring it on" attitude. They should go as high as they can go and be willing to take on anybody. If there is a chance for home court, go for it. The Champion beats all comers.

The champion does beat all comers!

And didn't we just lose to the Duncanless Spurs??

Seattle has been pretty close and tough games so far

I'd rather take on 'new head coach' Dallas in the first round thanks all the same!

The last game the Rockets lost which was televised in Australia was vs. the Suns earlier this year. We didn't play badly, just the Suns were better.

Rockets have an awesome record when their games are shown in Australia.

I think the Sonics are only 3 games behind the Spurs, and without Duncan they could be caught. If that was the case the #6 seed would get San Antonio in the first round. It doesn't sound so appetizing now, does it?
