    Only hypnosis and powerful drugs could convince someone that the 2016 Rockets stand a chance against the 2016 Warriors.

    This was obviously the plan all along. Let the Warriors think they're so good, then BOOM smash them as an 8th seed in the playoffs.

    Lol if we play goldenstate, jb is never going to get a headcoaching job. Steve kerr can sit out that series and let luke walton coach.

    I've been thinking the same thing for months. I think we want the Warriors in the first round while we're playoff fresh.

    It will be less embarrassing than against the Spurs, that's for sure.

    I mean... GSW vs Houston might be some of the highest ratings ever for a 1st Rd game and it could be the last with D12 as a Rocket so... Can't deny it wouldn't be interesting, but it would probably be a 4-1.

    I just want to avoid the Spurs. Not only will the Spurs sweep us, but it will be a very BORING 4 games. The Spurs defense would suffocate us. The Rockets need to see their shots go in for them to give effort on defense. That's why we want to face weaker defensive teams like OKC and the Warriors, our style is suited to play an up and down game. We will simply stop trying if we had to face the grind it out Spurs.

    If we take on the gsw, less gets more money and more people will watch harden vs curry... since they will pretty much sweep most teams in the playoffs. Who makes the most money out of every match up and it will be that way... watch.

    If we are aiming for the 8th seed. Getting swept by the Warriors would be the icing on the cake for this season.

    I'd rather keep our draft pick... this team ain't goin nowhere... between the crappy coaching and the overall stupidity, laziness, and divaesque nature of this squad - I'll pass om watching them get embarrassed by a real TEAM!

    Thank you. Anyone who wants a chance of seeing a championship parade again is rooting for the 9th seed this year.

    Give me the lotto pick. I'd much rather watch GSW fight against Portland or Utah.

    We'll have Terrence back so it should really be a great series with us taking it in 5 or 7 games.

    I would rather see them play the Spurs than the Warriors if I had to pick my poison. The Warriors are just an incredibly bad match up for the rockets. The best game of the Rockets season IMO opinion was against the Spurs earlier in the season which doesn't mean much in the end. Best scenario is not having to play either. Can you imagine JBB trying to match wits with Popovich and Kerr when the cards are on the table.
