7-0?? You meant 4-0, right? 4-0 is extremely unlikely...I have to say. IMO, even the Spurs cant sweep any teams in the 1st round.
The Jazz just got destroyed by the Bulls tonight. And Boozer didnt have a good game. If we have the home court in the 1st round, we do have a shot at beating the Jazz since apparently they dont do well on the road.
Hmmmmm. I'd like to face either the Lakers, Spurs, Jazz, Suns, Hornets, Mavericks, Warriors, or Nuggets in the first round. I'd imagine the Rockets feel the same way. Hell, according to Hollinger the Blazers still have .8% chance of making it. Add them to the mix. Why be picky. We'll take whoever, thats what I say.
I just want to play Denver or the Warriors in round 1. I also want someone else to knock off "upset" either the Celtics or Lakers or better off both. That would basically pave the way to a Rockets championship.
I think we can start a thread on what title contender team that gets knocked off in round 1 gives ROX the best chance to win the conference.
I can't believe some of you are just handing the trophy to the Rockets...They're not the best in the West... Hell, they're not top 4 in the West...
Big Yao wants Utah Jazz for the Rockets Round 1 opponents !! http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=3530613&postcount=1
I would like Utah, New Orleans, Golden State, or Dallas. I am a little scared of the suns as they are starting to get it. Shaq is the worst possible matchup for us without YAO. The lakers and Spurs would be tough matchups but we could win those games. Have to go to the basket and rebound.
I have always said that without Yao, we have a very good shot at the Jazz. Other than Okur, they don't have a big and Okur does not have low post moves. Golden State is my next choice followed by the Hornets. Even last year, if we had Adelman, we could have beaten the Jazz. JVG never had the guts to adapt and make changes during the series. Sloan totally outwitted our coach. He exploited Yao's weaknesses while JVG never utilized Yao's strengths as much. Anyways
Don't want the Jazz. After the Rockets and the Lakers, Utah is next in point differential. I'd rather play San Antonio before I took on the Jazz.
Damn, this is the real Hornets. It just destroyed the Spurs. West and Paul duo are capable of beating any teams in the west. I really dont think this is the team we want to see in the first round.
