    My choice is OKC because of the old saying..."you can out-hustle talent until talent decides to hustle" I'm sure other teams cause concern through mismatches...Any thoughts?

    I'd say the Blazers. Their ability to put up tons of points and get really hot offensively is a concern.

    None of these teams scare me if all our guys are healthy.

    I'd be most concerned about the Nuggets, maybe the Pels as a close second but honestly the Rockets would roll over any of those teams.

    Nobody besides GS concerns me as long as we have full health.

    I don't worry about the Thunder but I think it's a waste to have the Rockets eliminate them. I just want to see them in Golden State's bracket at first or second round.

    Exactly. Remember when the elimination of the SuperSonics opened the door for the Rockets?

    Rockets if healthy should roll over Thunder, Spurs, Pels, Nuggets, Jazz, T-Wolves
    (Blazers are 3rd seed currently.....probably remain out of our 1st round)

    Thunder and Nuggets might push us to 4-2 series.

    Nuggets with Milsap look pretty good. They have a very good offense with 3 point shooter 1-5.

    However I am picking the thunder. I am worried about them. I hope the rockets don't overlook them.

    Nuggets with millsap were 4th/3rd in the west before he went down, I'd show more concern about them but If they get him back with enough time they should play themselves right out of the 8th/7th seed.

    The nuggets are the least of my concerns. We’re not gonna lose to teams that play no d.

    Thunder
