    If Westbrook doesn't sign that extension, Rockets sweep. Not signing that extension will hangover their entire season.

    If he does sign though, I dunno what's going to happen. They will be tough.

    We will have home court:cool:

    Luke Ariza and Tucker will shut down Melo or gp13. And wbrick will go cold on the 4th and not pass the ball:D

    I think depth would absolutely play a role in this series, especially if it's in the second round. If that's the case, I'd take the Rockets in a very tight, very long 6-7 game series.

    OKC is dangerous now. Last year they didn't have enough shooters to compete against the Rockets, now they have added Patrick Patterson, George and Melo. Defending them will be much harder.

    I think it could come down to who has the better series Ryno vs Melo. Uh-oh

    Ryno < Melo

    Depends on if James Harden is trolling or not.

    I really don't like (let's say) all these threads in the last two days after the Melo to OKC thing tbh...like, all these comparisons etc...it's like we are those trying to convince ourselves we're better cause deep inside we're think we're not...

    Btw, Harden + CP > Westbrook + George

    Gordon + Anderson > Melo

    Rockets in 6
