well i had a disscussion about the suns and the rockets as of right now which team will win in a playoff series if they were to go against each other?
The Suns, because Joey Crawford would ref at least 2 of those games, and they'd be crucial losses for the Rockets.
Rockets, We're just the better defensive team and they don't have a powering big man that can use his size advantage against us. Plus, we aren't a bad run n gun team ourselves. Not to mention we play with more heart, effort and hustle out there than the Suns though. I would say us in 6 games though, I'm sure there will be games Nash will just go insane against us same for Amare and the 3 point shooters.
nash would cancel out brooks/lowry. amare would cancel out scolandry. battier will shut down jrich. ariza will be x factor. i'd say we'd go as far as ariza takes us.
Interesting hypothetical-Both teams can run and gun. I have no doubt that the Rockets would be able to get stops when they needed to. My only fear is that would our squad be able to match the scoring.
I would say Phoenix right now since they can sore and we have trouble scoring late in the game sometimes.
