    I have always believed that a 50+ win season is a successful season. Obviously if it results in a first round exit, this is NOT the case. But what I know about the playoffs is that there are going to be shocking first round exits.

    I am almost positive we are NOT going to be a 1-4 seed this season, which means we'll start the playoffs on the road.

    My questions are:

    1. Can we win 50 games this season? Meaning we go 23-7 the rest of the way.

    Doubtful, but I'm gonna stay optimistic.

    2. Who do you want to play 1st round?

    I say the Thunder are the best bet. GS and the Spurs I want no part of. And the Clippers will play dirty as hell and cry about every call considering what we did to them last year. I say the refs screw us in that series.

    Thunder absolutely. If you want Durant to come here then you better play that team AND defeat them. The other rounds don't matter so much.. and we probably lose them anyways. For this year, target the Thunder series as our NBA championship.

    Prove to Durant we are the better team even without him. Prove to him that this is his new home.

    I'll put some money on that, haha, it's not called optimism thinking the Rockets can go 23-7 the rest of the way, lol.
