The Rockets have been incredible this year, but realistically, which teams do you think we can beat in a playoff series? Curious to hear everyone’s thoughts!
OKC is the only team that I wouldn't want to face in the playoffs. I think Phoenix is a sleeper if they can get healthy. Dallas would be interesting but I don't think they are unbeatable in a playoff series. The great thing about being an elite defensive team is that it gives you a chance against anyone. OKC scares me. No one else does.
OKC and Dallas. They have the elite offensive players and defensive rim protection to frustrate the Rockets - especially if the Mavs have home court. Everyone else, the Rockets have a good shot - especially if they have home court advantage
It’s hard to say since we haven’t seen the suns, lakers, nuggets, grizzlies at full health. I would say good 3 point shooting teams are our weakness because we can struggle to put points on the board. So I don’t want to see golden state, too much baggage. Other than that I don’t care who we play. We will be underdogs even with home court I think. Getting there is the important part. Nothing is guaranteed in the nba, especially in the west.
