based on the current ranking in the west division and team strength, it is almost sure that we will play against one of below three teams: Utah Jazz, Memphis Grizzlies, or Thunders. it is very difficult to pick up one with a higher winning percentage. Let's say you have to pick up one, i would like to go with Thunders. although Jazz lack of playoff experience, but with their energy and team work, it is difficult to say. Memphis is the last team of these three that we want to play against. SO i would go with Thunders. If we have a good stop on Russel W by P Beverly, Thunders will run into scoring plague. and plus Russel himself is not consistent either. Mark Cuban added: Russel is not a top great player yet, and i agree with him. What is your option then, and tell us a bit your thoughts?
OKC will probably be the weakest of those teams, considering all you have to do is let westbrick play hero ball. Followed by the jazz who have an alright group and Memphis who could put up a good fight compared to the others. Either way all 3 opponents would be eliminated by the Rockets.
(3) Rockets vs (6)Thunder - Westbrook vs Harden, two MVP candidates head to head. (3) Rockets vs (2) Spurs - Texas rivalry, tight games. Never played the Duncan/Ginoibili/Parker core (3) Rockets vs (1) Warriors Rematch and revenge
I want no part of a healthy Jazz team. Memphis would be tough, but I like our chances And OKC.... 5 game series at best lol
Jazz. Never liked them. This goes back to the Osterfag, Malone, Stockton and Horny days. Then the Harping, Carlos Loozer and Deron Williams days where we choked against them and the year after we were without Yao but against all odds almost forced a game 7 due to tmac's 40 point eruption(game 6 in Utah) which in the end was not enough. History wise it's those guys.
jazz. inexperience trumps all. their pants will be smothered in their **** by the end of all 4 games.
