    Thunder. Also, I wouldn't have said this over a year ago, but I would take joy in beating them with Westbrook on the court.

    Both would be tough, but I feel like you can always count on Westbrook to make stupid mistakes. Spurs are too well-coached and they don't make mistakes.

    Rockets could score easily on either. The question then becomes, are we better equipped to stop two dominant superstars, or are we better equipped to stop the Spurs' psychotic whirling dervish of flawless execution?

    I'd take my chances with the Thunder as of right now.

    Thunder. Spurs are the big boys- 7 game series with them is a war.

    I would rather beat the Thunder, but I would rather the Rockets face the Spurs. Durant and Westbrook would go for 80 against the Rockets.

    Thunder, because you can quadruple team Durant.

    Spurs, they are worse team and they will have to rely on their star players more in playoffs. Role players won't cut it in the playoffs like they do in regular season.

    Thunder. Barely.

    If someone else is going to make the Finals, they'll probably have to beat both.

    Outside the Clippers the Rockets have the talent to beat anyone in the West. Both are better teams but the Rockets do have the talent.

    If we face the Clippers in the 1st round I'm for certain that it will be a 1st round exit for the Rockets.
