    The Rockets are looking to make a statement this season. Who do you think they're going to bash to make it.

    Suns: My choice, the teams are toooo evenly matched. Two all-star PG's, 2 outstanding rookies, 2 SG's ready to prove their worth

    Sonics: Both teams were lottery bound last season and sure enough will be battling for a spot in the playoffs

    Dallas: Everyone hates those pansies

    Spurs: NBA champs, who wouldn't want a piece of em. I consider Rockets to have enough talent to compete with spurs but do not have the dicipline the spurs have. With a new coach, things are likely to change

    Warriors: Everytime these two play its always exciting. Plus their after our Franchise player.......Yao.......(don't kid yourself, it ain't Francis anymore.

    I voted Suns even though it will be a one-sided rivalry. :)

    I think it's funny that no one (including me) has voted for the Sonics when I bet they'll be the team we're chasing for the playoff berth.

    I voted Sonics but, where the heck are the JAZZ(holes)?

    I guess with Karla and John Flopston gone, who do we hate up there?

    I voted Sonics because Rashard Lewis will look to destroy us everytime they play us. Make us pay for not picking him up.

    I voted Phoenix. Like he said, we're way too evenly matched with them.

    Francis vs. Marbury (either one could win this matchup on any given night.)

    Cat vs. Penny (I say Cat narrowly wins this one, but don't count Penny out now!)

    _______ vs. Shawn Marion (They kill us here, no matter who we put out.)

    E. Griff vs. Amare Stoudemire (Pothead vs. focused young powerhouse....no competition here)

    Yao vs. ________ (Yao wins here no matter who they throw out there.)

    So you see, the final is: Phoenix-2 Houston-2 and we're tied at the point. Very even matchup.

    All of us should be ready to hate the Phoenix Suns.
