    Good stuff, but come on. That kind of analogy is like Rockets fans saying the 93 Rockets started the playoffs by winning the division and scoring 2nd place in the west. It's cute, but come on.

    One thing both Portland teams have: no Wes Matthews.

    That team also had Lionel Hollins on it. So, I don't know?

    Portland, not quite enough. Doesn't help that Aldridge is 1-10 (8 points).

    Grizzlies scored 38 in the 2nd Q. THE GRIZZLIES! Also, as expected, dominating the paint.

    Aldridge (& Lillard) vs. the Rockets compared to Aldridge (& Lillard) vs. the Spurs(last year) and Memphis, night and day.

    Portland is a regular seaon team, not meant for the playoffs, a deeper run

    You guys think Memphis can at least challenge GSW?

    I can't believe they are actually talking about LMA's free agency. They have no decency or professionalism?

    I mean, there is still a series going on, right?

    I hope Conleys not hurt. We need Grizz to beat the Warriors.. or at least wear them down.

    I want Memphis to **** GSW up.

    What did I say guys? 2nd seed was absolutely the most important thing for the Rockets considering the how the seeds worked out perfectly.

    Houston and Spurs? I would like to be believe that we at favorable. It'll be a grind but they don't have any clear advantages over us minus their system.

    Golden State vs Memphis? Golden State, even if they win, will be hurting before the Western Conference Finals. Memphis will absolutely bully Bogut and David Lee (maybe not David West tho) and Conley/Allen will make life hell for the Splash Bros.

    Expect weak legs for GSW

    Lillards shot selection is putrid. Depressing that he was making all of the same shots against us last year.
