Well, the Warriors announcer Jim Barnett basically said that during the pre game commentary last night. He called Houston the strongest team ever to barely squeak into the eighth seed, and said the Rockets may give the Warriors fits. Whether that translates to wins, who knows. But I'm sure the Warriors would've preferred to face the Grizzlies, Jazz, or Mavs.
Link? That column is very charitable to our team and our chances. Makes a good point about our defensive rebounding %. Giving the Warriors *any* extra shots is sure death. But our defensive rotations (sic) are the most significant path to sure death in this series (sic). Sorry, I will be rooting for the guys in red for sure, but I didn't think playoffs would be very good for our team this year. Maybe it'll be great experience for Capella -- I hope he gets lots of PT -- and a little bit for Harden. Dwight overall deserves the "real season" even in mutated form, and he'll elevate his game.

I don't expect the Rockets to win the series but I hope we don't get swept. That would painful, like listening to Rush Limbaugh every day talking about Obama.
