Sure, that must be the reason why we blew them out of the deepest water and ended up having a better record in a much tougher conference.
~lol~ Nate is older so it should be the other way around! JLin is the YeloKryptoNate! Well, he is younger so let's hope he outgrows this phase.

The big teams in the East like Chicago and the Knicks may get more exposure, but the truth is that those teams are not as good as the teams in the West. The last I recall, this year the West had something like a .580 winning percentage against the East. That's a ridiculous skew when you think about it, and doesn't take into account the respective records of only the Top 8 seeds in each conference, which are even more skewed. You might think you're being objective when you compare each player on one team against the other, but the reality is that the context in which each player gets their numbers is also important. If the players on the Bulls are hitting the same numbers by playing against weaker opposition, then it stands to reason that the respective Rockets players are actually better overall. But whatever. If y'all want to base your opinion on the Eastern SPorts Network highlights and talking heads, then more power to you. But if you look at how the Rockets actually did against the Bulls, then ball don't lie.
The injured Bulls are a joke. They can't hang with Miami so they try to beat them up. It's not basketball
If either one or both of Garcia/Delfino doesn't come back, we could sign Rip. He is bought out and him being the backup for Harden would be quite nice.
How is This even a debate? Ofcourse the rockets are better. Imho the only teams in the east which are good enough to make play offs in the west are Indiana and miami. I think Indiana is on the same level as Houston. Chicago, New jersey, New York are not that good. And the rest is garbage in the east.
