    Out of the top Eastern teams, I think Rockets match up the best with Orlando (see tonight). They should do fine with Cleveland also, if Artest and Battier are able to beat up Lebron James and hold him to jumper chucking. A healthy Boston team would be the most difficult.

    Your thoughts?

    Really? This early? If we're good enough to get to the Finals I won't care who we face. I'll just go and pray at my David Stern shrine in the corner of the room there and sacrifice a lamb or something.

    I'd like to beat the Cavs just to shut up all the the King James nut huggers.

    Too premature to start thinking so far ahead.

    We can beat all the East teams.

    But it would be convenient if the 8th seed from the East made the Finals.

    I think we match up well against the Knicks or Washington - too bad neither will make the playoffs (let alone finals). :(

    A bit premature to be looking THIS far ahead, but for the sake of fun... I guess I would have to say Orlando. Now keep in mind, that's taking into consideration the only teams who really have a chance to make it to the finals in the east (Orlando, Boston, Cleveland).

    Otherwise, I choose the Pistons or Bulls or some really crap team! Yes sir, when we sweep LA in 4 games we can move right to beating up on the East's 7th or 8th seed! Thank goodness we're making it to the finals this year. Woo!

    If we go into the finals, T-Mac is gonna come out and say his injury was fake and that he wants to play.

    We match up well with both Cleveland and Orlando. I don't like our chances against Boston unless KG is out indefinitely.

    I'm not counting on seeing the Rockets reach the NBA Finals. This season, they've proved that they don't have an answer for the Lakers IMO.

    Its over. Jinxed. This should be a bannable offense.

    Cavs would be fun. Orlando would get destroyed.

    When it comes to playoffs, even Grizzlies could beat Rockets in 7 games, and I'm serious. So stop daydreaming please.

    Indeed, Rockets is well done when we met eastern first three:

    Cavs: 1-1
    Celtics: 1-1
    Magic: 2-0.
    If we play the Finals, Boston maybe the most difficult for us, but I believe
