    I believe the Rockets would have played the Spurs if Denver had won.

    We will deal with him by scoring on him often.

    Butler is a bigger concern because he defends Harden well and is able to get physical with him.

    Capela should have a big series and the Wolves don’t defend the three.

    I forgot about Butler in the initial post but mentioned him in the 2nd. We have Ariza and Tucker to through at him. luc would have been nice.

    I hate to assume anything, but I’d be surprised if we drop a game in this series. We should smoke Minny.

    Interesting match ups everywhere...

    Capela vs Towns (edge Towns)
    Tucker vs Gibson (Pick em)
    Ariza vs Wiggins (Wiggins)
    Harden vs Butler (Harden)
    Paul vs Teague (Paul)

    The problem is that the Rockets bench play is SUPERIOR to the wolves...

    They will not be able to win by playing a slow pace against us.

    Congrats on getting to the playoffs, but the Rockets should take care of business in 5.

    All we have to do is play our game, stay focused, keep our cool, be confident, and let it fly. We have the skills, we earned this, and now it's time to show everyone why we are #1.

    Wiggins is one of the most underwhelming players this year. Not worried about him at all.

    His play is a big reason they fell apart after Butler went out.

    Damn I was hoping GS would go up against OKC, that could've been a potential upset
