    This is ridiculous, the NBA has known the matchups for like 4 hours.

    1st seed always gets the good time slots, we better get the early slot on Saturday and no late games at all!

    Houston is the biggest city in the playoffs.

    No LA, No NY, No CHI

    Jesus we have the very last time slot available? Do they know Houston is on the gulf coast and not the west coast?

    First round = Minnesota with Butler - third best team in western conference.
    Second round = OKC (very clutch team that can beat anyone, more super stars than Houston)
    Third round = GSW (creme da la creme)
    Last round = someone from lower league, probably Bone Thugs and Harmony.

    These playoffs are going to be insane and we have the strongest opponents like we were eighth.

    But we have a team like we are 1st. If the Rox play their game, we shouldn’t worry about opponents until the WCF.

    This is the worst that could have happened to the Rockets. All of you are extremely happy with it, but it would be much tougher than you think...One thing is to be optimistic, the other - you have to be realistic, we are dropping at least 2 games. And then Thunder/Jazz in the 2nd round? That's waaaay tougher than Blazers/Pelicans.

    Wolves, take it to 6... so Luke Muh Bootey has time to come back.

    Blazers are the only team the Rockets haven't convincingly beat, even though we are 3-0 against them.

    The Rockets have swept the Wolves comfortably. OKC will be a tougher matchup but we did not have CP3 first game, and our last game were without Ryno and Gordon. However, if Jazz beat them we are looking at 1st and 2nd round that the Rockets have 4-0'ed against.

    Regular season record has zero impact on playoff performance. If there's any, it's negative for the Rockets..

    If KAT, Wiggins, or Butler shoot more 3s than the Rockets, TWolves are done in 4 games. Only Aaron Brooks can save them.
