    With a healthy team I'm not afraid of anyone in the west besides The Warriors. I want to the highest seed we can getv

    The rockets lack a nifty ball handler who can put the ball in the basket according to Jalen Rose. Hey Jalen, who is your pick for MVP again? San Antonio is the best matchup for the rockets in the 1st round. Even a Durantless OKC is scarier than San Antonio right now for us.

    This is what I was about to say. Spurs are a different animal come playoff time but I'm sure deep down they are trying to avoid the Rox as well. Rox are not a good matchup for them, especially when Rox are at full strength.

    That's weird. I feel like bill Simmons and him have been holding it down for harden as MVP since day 1

    Yea but we gotta prove it in the playoffs. Spurs have been balling lately.

    I think when it all shakes out they get up to the #5 seed. So we end up playing Dallas or the Clippers depending on if we get the #2 slot.

    Maybe Jalen was thinking of strictly point guards.

    Still dumb.

    I respectfully disagree, but it's probably close. I just like the idea of Westbrook taking 30 shots a night, no defense Kanter down low, and Scott Brooks doing Scott Brooks things.

    They have been down the middle for the most part, occasionally they weigh in closer to Harden than Curry. Jalen has said Harden is his MVP as well.

    Spurs have nifty ball handlers but they don't have the athletic freak PG who would tear the rockets a new one.

    Solid first half for the Rockets. But what worries me is we're shooting 58.5% and the Wizards are at just over 37%, Yes, we're up 13, but you know those percentages will even out eventually. So we have to take care of the ball(12 first half TO's to Washington's 7) and keep them off the foul line(they're 12-16 compared to us going 5-8).

    Do those things and it should be a win.

    Notice I said Durantless, not Ibaka and Durantless. If Ibaka is back I time, that team scares me.

    I'm not about to take the defending champs for granted, would much rather matchup against Dallas.

    Weird segment by Jalen there. Only thing he was right about was Hakeem.

    No one man can run by himself.

    We need that hungry mentality of Brewer and Nick Johnson for the whole team!
