    Okay I'm a dreamer. So I've concocted a way for the Rockets to make the Western Conference Championships.

    1. We are the 7th seed. So we play the winner of the 3-6 matchup.

    2. So... Wolves lose two straight after winning 8 in a row, and the Lakers overtake 1st. That makes us play Minnesota, who we match up well against and can conceivably beat.

    3. Memphis climbs over Dallas. So Dallas plays the Kings. The Kings whip the Mavs every time without Chris Webber... but since Webber's return the Mavs have been able to beat them, go figure. So the Mavs upset the Kings.

    4. We play the Mavs. Clearly this team has lots of issues, no answer to Yao, and we can keep them from scoring 120 points. So we can beat the Mavs.

    5. Rockets play Lakers in the WCFs. Where... the fact that the Lakers have really good players overwhelmes the upset bid at the end.

    Any other way we can make it that far?

    Winning the first round isn't out of the question as long as we don't have to play SA or LA. Minny, Sac, Mem, and Dallas are all beatable, no matter who we match up with. I just want them to play well and see what the elite do when in the playoffs. This is a learning experience as much as it is a quest for the title.
