    Yeah it's sad, these teams used to be bottom feeders in the league. U know u r in trouble when fans are discussing who would win in a series between the rox and tpups, especially just a year ago they were considered one of the worst teams in the nba

    Still taking the Timberwolves in 5. Rockets no match for them.

    Kevin Love bends us over.

    It looks like they would take us in 4-5. The Rockets just won't use the size they have. I don't care how crappy Thabeet is, the guy should be earning that check out on the court. He would at least pick up some more blocks.

    I take Lowry over Rubio. Lowry doesn't have Love to dish it to.

    T-Wolves in 5 or 6...

    Love would have a field day against the Rockets front court, he would probably avg 30+ pts & 15+ reb against us...

    Wolves.

    It's a complete mismatch. They dominated us in the Paint. Once you do that, it opens everything else up.

    Most of ya'll thought I was crazy when I said this in the off season before RA took the job. RA will turn them around in less than a year because they have better players than us.

    Maybe if we traded some 09ers for Kaman, we would have a chance.

    GS beating the Mavs. Grizzlies beating the Spurs. It's all about matchups.

    This season? Adleman, Love & Rubio? TPups in 6 or 7.

    On a positive note. The 2011-12 Rockets have a lower payroll than MINN. By ~ $200K.

    he has success against us but overall they are still hovering around 0.50 which is a success considering they have been worse before.
