Here's how the Rockets have done vs playoff teams as of today: EAST (1) Miami 0-2 (2) Knicks 2-0 (3) Pacers 0-2 (4) Nets 2-0 (5) Bulls 2-0 (6) Hawks 2-0 (7) Boston 1-1 (8) Bucks 1-1 TOTAL 10-6 WEST (1) Spurs 1-3 (2) OKC 1-2 (3) Den 0-4 (4) LAC 1-2 (5) Mem 1-2 (6) GS 3-1 (7) (8) LAL 2-1 (9) Utah 3-1 (8th seed hasn't been determined yet) TOTAL 12-16 Record vs playoff teams (22-22) We have two more gms left (Mem + LAL). We also have wins against every team except Mia/Ind/Den. At the beginning of the yr there's NO way in hell I thought this was remotely possible. Going forward this young team will gain playoff experience and with the CAP space available things look bright.
A lot of those Western Conference playoffs wins happened after the trade deadline too so that's a big positive.
We want Denver Nuggets, they have lost 6 1st round series since George Karl was named coach in '05. I do not think they will beat the Rockets 8 straight games.
