The "Hollinger Playoff Odds" simulations have the Rockets at a 9% chance of winning the title. I think it looks about right for this team, maybe a bit less due to health concerns with Beverley in particular (but then other teams have their own health-luck issues).

Right now, things are a bit muddled in the contention picture. The Clippers are hot but some of the other better teams have had their own problems, including the defending champion. It'll probably come down to health of important players during the playoffs and how the brackets shape up in terms of who matches up with whom.

Interesting - these rank the Rockets' chances of winning it all higher than even OKC's

This question is more suitable to be asked by Clippers' fans. They are ready to win it all this year. They are contender for the coming few years as well.

A big part of it is because they're projected to have the 2 seed, which makes OKC's path to the Finals Memphis > Clippers/GSW > WFC (Spurs/Rockets/Portland).

Looking at that gauntlet, it's not surprising that OKC has a lower chance of success than us.

Hopefully Lin will be gone. Beverly is thinking about the future and his knee will be fine. Canaan turns into an amazing backup. If not we need to trade for another pg. Dmo can gwt in the rotation taking Asik's job. These are things that need to happen.
