    Thunder in 5, I'll give us one game on a lucky break. McHale is really going to show his inadequacies when plays are going to need to be called.

    Iso ball will take us nowhere in the end.

    Rockets will be lucky to win one. Harden is worn out.

    Going with 2 just because I feel like there'll be more than one instance (home or away) that Westbrick will completely destroy OKC's offense for us in one game. Then hopefully a good home win !

    Houston's 2011-12 season was ruined by a 6 game losing streak near the end of last season.

    2012-13 better not be a repeat.

    A sweep for OKC. C'mon, those guys were I think 13-3 in the playoffs last year before Miami won 4 in a row. And if the Rockets play the same way they did tonight against the Lakers, it's gonna be an ugly sweep.

    Houston in 7, of course.
    It's destiny...just like how we will meet New York in the Finals.

    Probably OKC in 5.

    I think we could've beat the Spurs. Now we're playing the best team in the West. Thanks for doing everything you possibly could as a coach to lose us the game tonight McHale.

    We have no chance. I'm not looking forward to this. The series i'm looking forward is the Spurs vs Lakers. I really want Dwight Howard and the Lakers to get raped.

    Not McHale's fault. None of the lineups worked in the 2nd half offensively. Not big lineup, not small lineup, not starters, not bench. McHale didn't have the horses.

    Getting our ass kicked would be my guess.

    With McAwesome in the 4th quarter... maybe 1 or 2.

    Without McAwesome in the 4th quarter... possibly 3-4.

    Just rest all our starters.
    What's the point. Another ****ing late season collapse. I'm so tired of this ****. Run McFail out of town. HEY LETS RUN HARDEN ISO FOR THE ENTIRE ****ING FOURTH QUARTER.

    I voted 4. But realistically, probably 2. I would be happy if we can win 3 and force a game 7. Parsons does a good job on Durant, Westbrook is who im worried about.
