    Ok, I'm trying to be as optimistic as possible, guys!

    Assuming we sweep the crap out of Portland, who do you guys want to face in the second round?

    Please don't just vote like on any other poll. At least say something relevant, such as to your choice.

    Jazz, because we've actually proven we can beat them.

    And that whole Home Court Advantage thing.

    Um I think we would face the Jazz-holes or the Lakers.


    Just my guess though.

    I'd rather face the Lakers. I know I might get flamed for this, but:

    A Rockets - Lakers playoffs series would get so many ratings. Plus, even if we DO get bounced (knocks on wood), it'll be against the best team in the west.

    And, we'll come back next year stronger than ever. Lowry, Wafer, Brooks will all be more developed.

    Scola, Landry, the above players mentioned, and the entire roster will have playoff experience.

    TMac is in a contract year.

    We're gonna beast next year.

    Jazz.

    1. Home court advantage
    2. Revenge
    3. Less competitive

    I refuse to vote. Can we please get past the 1st round first? This type of thread is worse than 2010 type threads.

    Either Fakers or j*zz. the good news is we don't need to root for either of them, they're just two equally evils and we have to choose one as our opponent in the second round. second round is already a breakthrough for our team, so I don't put too much extra pressure on our players. :cool:
