    While I want to agree with this, I just think it will begin to hurt chemistry and guys will need the ball a lot.

    Two things: (1) It's a championship run and (2) Dragic's head is screwed on right.

    When opponents double-team Harden at the end to take him out of the game, Dragic will go straight to the rim and make them pay. He won't struggle like Bev.

    We have the defense to match them and the players to close out games with.

    So yes, we can beat them in the playoffs. Would be my 2nd option after Golden State.

    Who do you suggest? I hope we can sign Dragic in the off-season. What do you think of Rondo? He never seemed excited about playing for Dallas.

    My #1 choice is Dragic. Rondo can't shoot and is totally ineffective unless the ball is in his hands. Not a good fit with what the Rockets do (especially next to Harden).

    " what " might disagree with you, They had Lowery who in ( what )'s mind is on the same level as Harden. So why have 2 of them when you can get Thabeet :grin:

    The Grizzlies are obviously a very good team right now that are just struggling at the moment without ZBo.

    If both teams are fully healthy, I think it would be a very close, hard-fought 6 or 7 game series that could go either way, honestly.

    And that goes for pretty much any series in the western conference this season, the west is so stacked.

    some people would perhaps try to argue with you. but it really is a toss up more then ever.

    seeds 5 6 7 and 8 could all win this year. when you take homecourt into consideration maybe it tilts things. but the teams are all so evenly matched that it will make it very interesting.

    I certainly don't want to play them. Teams I want in order:

    Phoenix
    Dallas
    San Antonio
    Portland
    GoldenState
    Clippers
    Memphis
    OKC

    Here is the seeding I am hoping for:

    1.) Houston
    2.) Golden State
    3.) Memphis
    4.) Portland
    5.) San Antonio
    6.) Clippers
    7.) OKC
    8.) Dallas

    If OKC gets it going, they can finish as high as #5.

    I am down with this. I want Lillard to cry and Aldridge to mope. Some Blazers fans tears will go nice on the side with my baked potato.
