This is asking a lot. But if Denver can beat Utah in Utah tomorrow night...we can rest our guys for the last 2 or 3 games and we should be locked into that 5 spot with HCA in the first round. A win against Denver on Sunday for us though would probably wrap it up fully.


I don't think so. I think all our remaining games are very winnable, we match up well with Denver, and Utah is kind of on cruise control and the Clippers are the Clippers. If LA beats SA, a game the Lakers will be favored in, the 2 seed is definitely attainable.

Unlikely Rockets could get top seed,so I'd like home court against Utah. Scola can match up w/Boozer adequately,Hayes or Landry can guard Okur on perimeter,assortment of Rox points can somewhat offset Williams and they have nobody who can guard McGrady.
47 against them early in season. Last yr's Series had Utah send waves of defenders at T-Mac. Giricek and Fish are gone and I'd take my chances w/Korver guarding McGrady.
If fortunate enough to win,Second Rd would be NO who I'd rather see than Spurs,Suns,Lakers.

I like our chances with Mutumbo in the middle. He has so much playoff experience plus playoff upset experience...

Go Rockets!
