I was not dreaming!! we are there!! http://www.nba.com/standings/team_record_comparison/conferenceNew_Std_Cnf.html
Omg would that be some kind of beautiful, seeing Hornets as the #1 and Rockets beating Utah in 1st round, getting Hornets in 2nd round.... We can all only wish for that kind of perfection. Then LA and SA beat each other up, and we go on to Finals!
I would be OK with a rematch but only so long as we get homecourt. No way we'd win a series with them having homecourt. Even then, I'd get the jitters. We couldn't hold down home court for FRICKIN' GAME 7 last season... But yeah I'm down for a rematch. For some reason, I don't hate Williams or Boozer or Kirilenko or Korver. I hate Sloan and Harpring and Okur. And the rest. And their fans. And their commentators. But I just don't have anything against this generation's stars for Utah. Maybe it was Boozer and D-Will giving the Rockets props after beating us last season...sportsmanship? I don't know. HATE Sloan though...
You are correct we match up reall well with Utah. They do not play defense a lot. Last year we only 5 minutes away from beating them. I would love to beat them.
