    don't tell me you actually believe we can beat 80% of the western playoff teams...

    The Rockets can beat the Suns currently in a best of 7. Mavs is a 50/50 chance.

    none of the other Western Conference play off teams I would bet on the rockets beating. If OKC get in, than that's even worse.

    We shoot waaay too many 3s for being such a mediocre shooting team.

    Luckily we only have to face 3. As for who we can beat(assuming Dwight is healthy):

    Mavs - It would probably go 7, but I'd favor the Rockets if they have home court.
    Spurs - A tossup. I'd narrowly favor the Spurs, but Harden does seem to play well against them.
    Blazers - Dwight is the key, but it would also hinge on whose bench plays better.
    Grizzlies - I'd favor the Grizzlies, but Smith could be a huge x-factor in that series.
    Thunder - They'd probably win, but then again we did just smoke them recently and there's a chance we may never even face them.
    Clippers - In theory, we should be able to beat them. For some reason that defies explanation, we can't.
    Warriors - No chance in hell. They'd probably sweep us. But maybe we get lucky and OKC takes them out in Round 1.

    Dallas, Spurs, Portland and even Memphis (OKC no longer scares me)

    Stay away from GS and Clippers.

    Remember Portland last year for us? We're just Portlanding them.

    They're 42-9 and swept the Rockets in the season series. We're not beating them in the playoffs as currently constructed. Maybe next season when they lose Green and have less depth(and we God willing finally have a PG).

    Yep. Assuming OKC gets in, I'm not confident against any of these teams. OKC upgraded today. We can't beat Golden State. Memphis, Mavericks, and maybe the Spurs we have a chance against. Clippers always seem to have our number. And we will lose in 5 games if we match up with Portland.

    not sure morey realized how unreliable and injury prone DH has become, I guess he thinks Terence jones and Dorsey are the answer....

    Yes, if you're a Rockets fan.

    If you're a frontrunner the Warriors' forum is that way.

    I'm just confused about Morey's Philosophy. He missed out on Carmelo, Bosh, Lowry, Dragic and refused to sign multiple other players.

    Funny how no one is really yelling about no trade for a backup C. Are we really that high on Capella?
