    It's also a year where the west is pack with very strong teams. Make it that much more sweet if we win it all. But boy, it's not going to be easy at all. If we have to go through Spurs, Thunder and GSW... wow. Even Blazer and Jazz is going to be tough.

    Wolves are a different team with Butler back. We would still beat them in 4 or 5, but they might wear us down a bit.

    Rockets have to beat 2 teams to win the west.

    1. One of Thunder or Spurs

    2. Warriors (could be fully healthy, so much rest)

    Why didn’t the Warriors let the Thunder win tonight and keep the Thunder near the 4th or 5th seed?

    Why risk them falling to 7th? I believe the Warriors fear the Thunder. They just don’t know that the Rockets
    have a plant in the Thunders squad. Melo, 0-9 from three tonight. Thanks for the help Melo.

    Thunder and Spurs scare no one, especially not Houston. Bring them both on and make sure you strap your panties up tight, all kinds of shyte will knocked permanently out of place on the way to embarrassing Kerr and his Worriers.

    Rockets science trumps ball science every time.

    I hadn't even turned 14 when the Rockets won their '94 chip. My favorite manly man player was Otis Thorpe. His demeanor and work ethic to go along with those huge hands. I will be approaching age 38 this time around. I'm just glad they might win the chip before I hit my 40s.

    Despite having won best record, the SF and PF position is far from elite. And the backup C spot is not ideal either. Good thing we got blue collar guys with fire power and grit n poise.


    One injury to one of the PGs is going to effect the run greatly. It is on thin ice.

    The only team that is scary and "could" beat the Rockets in a seven-game series is the Warriors. They are getting back to full strength. We take the rest in seven or less.
