    don't like projecting because neither series would be easy, but this team has a good chance at the WCF simply based on matchups

    It's very annoying I'm all hearing about is OKC, San Antonio and LA nothing about Houston. I hate ESPN. And most are picking the Blazers to upset us? WTF? Last I checked we had a very very good team too

    What? Of ESPN's 18 "experts", 15 picked the Rockets.

    Try to convince yourself it's an "us against the world" scenario, but the Rockets are pretty heavily favored amost everywhere.

    Online, five of five ESPN experts picked us, with a couple of them picking us in five games.

    I think it's pretty impossible, given our defensive habits, to take Portland out in five games, but we'll see!

    I say sweep. No one will agree at first. But a few will get the notion at 1-0. It'll pick up at 2-0. But once it's 3-0... ;)

    Its possible. We give up a lot of points, but at our pace it is to be expected. Our defensive efficiency is pretty stinking good when both Howard and Asik are playing on game nights.

    Harden and Parsons need to step up the D in the playoffs though. Parsons has been every bit as bad as James this year.

    Portland has been winning a lot this past month, and I have a feeling that one loss might kinder their spirits quickly. Remember also, that this team is full of players with little playoff experience(Mo Williams is an exception).
