[ROCKETS mention] Pick your poison: Sizing up the Thunder’s first round matchups

I love watching OKC so this would be a great series to watch. Good competition seems to bring the best out of these Rockets.

 

I actually want to play OKC

 

I would rather take my chances with San Antonio, with the addition of Camby I think we have the size to take them

 

They better be scared!!!

 

This. I don't think the Rockets could be either team but could give the Spurs more fits.

 

True, but in relative terms, multiple lower seeded teams could give the Spurs fits (MEM, DEN, UTA etc). We're one of the only low-seeded teams that isn't afraid of OKC. I'm not saying we have much of a chance, but I'd love to see us play them (especially if all our guys are available).

 

Have you guys seen San Antonio latetly?

They are the one team I would absolutely not want to face.

I also think we me match up better against OKC.

 

I would much rather play OKC than San Antonio. Sorry.

 

I would rather play OKC than SAS, would just be a more exciting series.

 

Count me in as not wanting to play the Spurs. They on fire.

 

I would rather BEAT San Antonio than OKC. **** the Spurs.

 

Spurs were on fire last year around this team and then withered away in the first round. The same will happen to them this year.

 

you obviously dont know that the Spurs lost Ginobli in the last regular season game last year.. had the Spurs had Manu against Memphis last year, that series would of went alot differently

 

They lost because they happened to play the one team they matched up poorly with.
Also don't forget that Ginobili was injured.

The Spurs still lack another post defender not named Ducan, so they still matchup not all that well against the bigger teams, but if the Spurs can avoid the Grizzlies and Lakers I think they'll go all the way and even if they end up facing either team I sure wouldn't bet against them.
Popovic is 10x the coach Mike Brown is and I don't know if the Grizzlies are quite on the same level the were last year entering the playoffs.

 

Westbrook vs Parker... I think I'll take my chances with Westbrook the way Parkers been playing.

 

Doesnt matter tha SA is on fire, they may be peaking too early, while the thunder may start peaking at playoff time...

 

Honestly I feel like with our big men and Parsons we can now matchup solidly against the best teams in the West.

It's pretty clear that other teams would rather play the Nuggets/Jazz/Suns over us.

 

If we dont get klow and martin back, we aint beating anybody lol

if they come back and come off the bench....count me as excited with the possibilities.
