    Looking like the Jazz, Clippers, Thunder, or Grizzlies(least likely) could be a potential opponent...

    I personally wouldn't want to see Utah in the first round. Doesn't seem like the Rockets match up well against them this season. Don't care about the other 3 - i think at worst, 7 games against Memphis, LAC or OKC can be over in no more than 6.

    The thunder are bad not scary at all. Only thing kind of annoying is Roberson. Of course maybe kanter and Adams will actually bust ass and not just be helping Westbrook pad stats

    Definitely OKC. Westbrook can take 50 shots a game for all I care, aslong as nobody else gets to shoot. Plus Harden should be playing with a chip after he gets ROBBED of that MVP trophy

    This thread has been made 10 times and for the 10th time I'll say the Thunder.... I remember last time I said it and some dudes were jumping all over me about it.... but now after the most recent game its almost unanimous.... it's always been clearly the Thunder

    Since harden won't win the MVP and I don't see us realistically winning the title this year. Beating the b**** ass thunder would give me the next most satisfaction :)

    I think we would take the thunder in 5. And Westbrook would shoot them out of the series
