8-team western conference playoff league.
Last year, HOU was 10:16 in this league.

 

Though we are HUGE underdogs against the Jazz, I like our chances defensively against them. Boozer abused Yao last season in the playoffs. I think he'll find more trouble with Mutumbo. However, offensively is where we may find huge trouble. If T-Mac continues to play the way he did during the last few games of the season, I really do not like our chances against the Jazz. Should be interesting though.
