How far do you predict the Rockets will go in the playoffs this year?

Chamapions it is.

 

too early to tell without the roster being in-tact... but ill say western conference finals.

 

Just cause Howards here doesn't mean we get a pass the the championship.

 

We think OKC is the best team in the West & they didn't get to the WCFinals.

 

hilarious.

 

They lost there floor general had westbrook been there maybe they would have been the best.

 

second round is good

 

The Finals, Houston over Miami in six.

:grin:

 

WCF at a minimum. The only teams in the West that can match up are San Antonio and OKC, and provided the Power Forward spot is reasonably answered, they will be the most talented team in the West. The Rockets are better than the Clippers, Warriors, Grizz and Nuggets right now.

 

Until I see some good calls from McHale, my bet is we will be eliminated in round 1

 

Dont jinx it. Just enjoy the ride. Trust me, coming from a Heat fan. That first year was not fun.

 

Here's how I think the playoff seedings are going to shake out, barring injuries:

1. SAS: Have made no improvements, but they're a machine. Highly susceptible to injuries and declining performance due to age, wear and tear.

2. HOU: Going to come out of the gate strong. Hopefully we can work out the Asik issue and he can get his minutes splitting time at C and PF.

3. GSW: They beasted in the playoffs last year and have a major upgrade in Iggy.

4. OKC: Could possibly capture 1-4 seed, but I'm putting them here due to Westbrook's injury and the loss of Martin.

5. LAC: Young and talented, boosted by the CP3 resigning & Doc Rivers. Solid backup PG signing. Could be a dark horse contender in the West.

6. MEM: Had a magical playoff run last year. Can they catch fire again?

7. DAL: Haven't done anything so far in the offseason, but should have Dirk back for a full season which should give them enough wins for a lower playoff seed.

8. MIN: The Martin signing should get this young, talented team over the hump and put them into the playoffs.

Given these seedings, and factors, I think that the Rox can at least make it to the WCF. If we can get our chemistry, rotation and coaching together, we can make it to the Finals.
