If we're healthy it doesn't matter who we play.

Utah.

The Fakers have Kobe which scares me. They were a Tim Thomas 3-pointer away from beating the Suns last year in the 1st round.

And the Spurs are too experienced. I don't want any part of them til Round 2 or 3.

In western conference, every playoff team will be a chanllenge. So I don't care which team we will face. Every team will give us some troubles (we lost games to them this season), but I think we can handle it.

My dream post-season scenario is as follows:

First round:

The Rockets face the Jazz. My hatred for the Jazz may have faded some since the retirement of Stockton and Malone, but it will never completely die. I'd take a great amount of pleasure in seeing the Rockets knock them out of the playoffs once again. I wouldn't care how many games the series goes, just so long as it ends with mormons crying.

Second round:

The Rockets face the San Antonio Spurs and the Rockets DESTROY them! Sweep them! Blow them out! Yao and T-Mac both dominate. Bruce Bowen gets hurt. Manu cries. I cry tears of joy.

Western Conference Finals:

After a close seven game series with the Suns, the Mavs head to the Western Conference Finals to face the Rockets. The series is close for six games, until the 7th game when the Rockets blow them out by 41 points.

FORTY ONE!

If all of that happened, I wouldn't even need to watch the actual finals. Nothing that could happen there could make me any happier.

Um thats impossible, with Mavs at #1 and Suns at #2, only way that would happen if Spurs and Mavs switch (Spurs in WCF)

What's offensive about it? I didn't say anything derogatory about Mormons...
Wait, I get it. You're saying it's insulting to link your faith to the Jazz. I see your point. That is insulting. My apologies to the Mormon faith... but not to Jazz fans.

I expect the Rockets to end up in third position in the Western Conference standings. therefore they will play the team in sixth position
FIRST ROUND:-
LAC v DAL DEN v PHOE LAL v HOU SA v UTAH
SECOND ROUND:-
SA v DAL HOU v PHOE

FINALS Anyones guess!
[we do stand a chance when we have all our players back but JVG must be willing to play a 10 man roster to keep our players fresh in the games, especially agains the Suns]

this would be my guess as well. however my choice would be to play dallas in the 2nd round, knock them out so they can't whine and complain for another series

Here is from ESPN that supports your expectation:
Scoop JAckson from ESPN wrote on "http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=jackson/070209":
• The Western Conference final four will be better than the real final four (if these four teams get through). Dallas, Phoenix, San Antonio and Houston will be the two best seven-game series seen in over a decade. The intensity, passion, hunger and desire to get a ring, combined with a skill level only grown men getting paid to play possess, will easily bring those people who "hate" the NBA back.

I dare them to beat us on 7 games series
