    Rockets cant beat the Spurs in a series if they have Parker, Ginobili, and Duncan. Rockets most likely wont beat the Thunder. I rather face Thunder.

    Good to know. That's the same as Martin, I think...

    Be careful what you wish for.

    OKC, when they're playing right, are unstoppable. The Rockets have managed to slow them, but in a seven game series? I don't know if they could grind it out when you're talking about youth vs youth. San Antonio is still mostly running on old legs.

    I stand by my preference. As today shows, Lakers should be our #1 target as a preferable playoff matchup. We have to do anything we possibly can to avoid the rest of the texas triangle.

    Spurs and Mavs would be our most dangerous matchups. We can beat Griz, but I actually think they'd be tougher than LAL and OKC believe it of not.

    The rockets have enough fire power to pull a Golden State. Doesn't mean it will happen but our playoff serious will be entertaining.

    I agree. Spurs aren't great for us. The other top five team I fear is the Clippers. Not because we can't beat them, but because the NBA won't allow it. Basketball reasons.

    cant count on bynum being ejected every game, shooting lights out from the 3 and kobe being hurt. well maybe the kobe thing, but his shin limited him as much as parsons defense.

    I disagree. Thunder may be intimidating to most of the league with their scoring and highlight reel dunks, but i think the Spurs clicking on all cylinders are an even scarier team.

    We just matchup great with the Thunder. It would be an EPIC series.

    Would have been a 4 game sweep with a points margin average of -25 either way.

    lol, hell no. The thunder are great, but come on now. we may have gotten swept, but to lose by that much requires some piss poor effort. we would give them a run for their money in at least the home games and probably even sneak 1 or 2 wins at home or at least keep the score very close.
