All the teams in the West are tough in my opinion. I mean even our 9 and 10 are tough. Who wants to play kobe or Garnett in the first round. Maybe the Grizz are a little flat footed and the Sonics have no mega stars. That's about it. So wherever we fall I don't care. Just so much as we get in. But obviously, home court is huge for game 7. So win-win-win.
the only team i'm not confident about beating is PHX. we can beat the spurs. we can beat the sonics. we can beat the mavs and kings. we will see how the next 3 games against the suns go.
Hm, I tend to agree with you guys on the Spurs, great veteran team that has good chemistry and knows how to win. Out of all the Western teams, I would say that they have the best chance to beat us. I'm not sure what you guys see in the Suns. They are a run and gun team, and come playoff time, Defense wins, and the Rockets are one of the best defensive teams in the league. That's why these high scoring teams like Seatle, Phoenix and Dallas don't worry me in the least. I can defintately see the Rockets making it to the CF as long as we don't run into the Spurs on the way. Then we will see what happens.
I agree but hopefully Memphis can kncok out the Suns in the first round... they've played Phx well during the regular season.
