          I assume you're taking the Suns tomorrow then?

            If Rockets lose to the Suns and Lakers they finish 8th and Lakers 7th. Obviously this could also happen if OKC drops to 2nd but I think even the wildest of dreamers wouldn't have them losing at home to Sacramento and Milwaukee. They'll most likely pummel the Kings by 40 tomorrow to clinch in style.

              Talent wise the Clippers scare me as an OKC fan but their coach is a moron.

              Toughness wise the Grizzlies scare me. I think that would be the toughest matchup for OKC but I don't think the Grizz will get by the Clippers.

              The Spurs always scare me but they look like a sinking ship right now. Everyone else is a pretender. Rockets play no defense.

                That would be bad for Hou

                OKC matches up well against HOU. The one game they lost to them this year, OKC was up by 14 with 7 minutes left and they fell apart. I don't see that happening in the playoffs.

                The other two games OKC won by 22 and and 30. They also lead by more than that in both games Not a good matchup for HOU.

                      Pound them then. They're only 7 point faves.

                        If they do win the West, I actually think they'll have a better chance being the road team in the Finals against Miami.

                        The 2-3-2 format give the away team an advantage imo. With that said, it's still going to be tough to win the West and OKC isn't as good as they were last year and Miami is better because they have had another year to gell and Wade is healthy.

                        OKC actually had great opportunities last year. Three of the losses were one possession games in the final minute. Too bad they couldn't bring the series back to OKC.

                            The only upset I see in the West is the Grizz beating the Clippers which really not a upset.

                            Houston can possibly push the Spurs to 7. I see them losing to Denver or OKC in 5 games.

                            GoldenState like Houston has too many jump shooters and no D. They can possibly push OKC or Denver to 6 because they got better 3 point shooters then Houston, but they match up terribly against the Spurs.

                            Lakers will probably get sweep by OKC or lose to the Spurs in 5.

                              Nets could lose in the 1st round.

                                They played houston to the final shot in houston a few days ago. Not saying it will happen but phoenix could win that game. It's the nba.

                                  Whoever Chicago plays in the first round will probably lose. They play solid team defense and that is what wins you play off series.

                                    my vote is for celts over nyk and bulls over pacers setting up a celts v bulls in the 2nd round.

                                                          Nets and hawks go the distance. And hawks are terrible.

                                                            Saying they want to win out and actually doing it are two different things. Lakers prob beat them at home.

                                                              I don't see any... Rockets don't play defense...Spurs, Clippers, Denver (3 seed), and OKC will all take care of business. And the Knicks, Heat, Brooklyn, and Indiana will all take care of business. That is if Indiana plays Chicago and Brooklyn plays Atlanta, and if D-Rose doesn't return.
