    Memphis and Portland have both been struggling with injuries lately. Sure, so have the Rockets, but I don't think DMO or Beverley are the difference makers.

    If that is true, then i have to ask what have the rockets been saving him for? The playoffs is the time to go all out

    The only people who truly want to play us are the FANS of other teams because we've had this reputation of choking in the first round. They're also just idiots.

    Dallas and Pel/Thunder are worse than the Rockets on paper

    The Rockets apparently do not believe he is healthy enough to do that.

    Other than the Warriors and the Spurs, the Rockets should be the 3rd toughest team for anyone to face. The Rockets have the talent, but just not good enough as a team to beat the Warriors and the Spurs. They need a new coach who can develop a team, not just isolation all the time.

    Clippers -- Each year, they went out to sign some "big name" FA, and still they have won nothing. With an overrated coach, PG, PF, basically the entire team, they will self destruct, beat themselves.

    Memphis -- Too much injury. Plus they just couldn't generate enough offense.

    Portland -- Injuries.

    Mavs -- Slow, undisciplined.

    Pelicans/OKC -- Just not good.

    IMO, easiest to toughest opponent.

    Pelicans/OKC
    Mavs = Blazers (injury)
    Grizzlies (injury)
    Clippers (weak bench)
    Rockets (Rockets fan bias)
    Spurs = Warriors

    If Harden can drop 40 on a nightly basis and play a little D Rockets would be closing in on

    GSW, Spurs

    As a Clippers fan here is my preference:

    1) NOP
    2) Mavs
    3) Portland
    4) Houston

    So about middle of the pack really.

    And the Rockets are what a perennial first round exit? If the Rockets didn't pick one of the GOATs in Hakeem they would be nothing. Imagine Hakeem playing on a team with better management? Would have won more rings.

    As a Spurs fan, I would rather face the Portland and Memphis rather than Houston. I do think that the Spurs would win, but it's going to be a bruising and frustrating series if we ever face the Rockets.

    I agree with you. We have to take control and be united... one nation... rednation... a family... a family sticks up for his family no matter the situation!!! Just like this kid... took care of business when his friend was in trouble... it's how the rockets bench better be when the starters are in trouble!!!

    Hahaha... not taking anything away from Hakeem... but imagine if we chose Michael Jordan as the first round pick instead of Hakeem... would we have won 6 championships?

    Something to think about...

    Scottie Pippen, The Young Zen master Jackson, ...... we would not have those guys.

    Jordan did not win his first one when he was 23. That is for sure.

    I actually think the Rockets won't be able to win anything had they drafted Jordan instead of the Dream. The Bulls just had great teams in those years, while the Rockets had a more impact player in Dream.

    I was a Bulls fan who went to school in Illinois back in the days.
