    As Houston starts keying into 6th spot in the west, it seems likely we will be playing either: San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Memphis, Los Angeles, or Denver. Memphis being at the 3rd spot right now, i feel very comfortable. Even though Memphis has been winning a lot (against weaker teams) as of late, it seems that our team's high octane offense matches up very well against them. Who do you guys think we will face and who would you want us to face?

    it seems likely that we will make the playoffs, if not 6th seed then 7th or 8th. Either way we will be facing one of these teams.

    Who do I think we will face? OKC. Who do I want us to face? Memphis.

    Two very different questions.

    Man, you guys are a bunch o scary cats for fearing the Clippers and the Thunder. Who cares who we face? Let's kick that ass who ever we face in the Play offs, enough with sissy mentality and have a killer mentality! Let's chop peoples head offs and torched them apart!:mad:

    Oh, damn it. Why would you ask two completely different questions like that.

    I voted Clippers as a prediction. Obviously I'd rather play Memphis.

    I don't know about OKC. Our main starter, Harden, was their bench guy (3rd best in OKC). Their current bench guy, Martin, was our main.

    Despite a good season for Clippers, we can beat them. That team is overrated. We'll outrebound them for sure. They have least playoff experience too.
