Who do the Rockets need Home Court Advantage the most against in Round 1?


Is it Portland?

Is it Denver?

Is it Utah?

Is it New Orleans?

Is it Dallas?

I used those teams because one of those would more than likely be the team the Rockets play in round 1.

ALL..

We play so much better at home, and not so well on the road.

It's easily the Utah Jazz. They are 25-6 at home and 10-17 on the road. That's a huge discrepancy.
Among that group, Utah is also the only team that I fear. They've been playing great basketball, and they will make a serious run since Boozer has returned.

LOL...have you seen us on the road this season?

Come on man. We need HCA against EVERYBODY. And even that probably won't be enough.

True Iggy

HCA against anyone is a must.

We can beat Portland, Dallas, New Orleans, Denver and Phoenix with HCA.

Not so sure about Utah, who are the ideal second round opponent, but our worst nightmare in the first, given our recent history against them.

I'd love to play them and beat them, but I don't know if I can handle another loss to that team for the 3rd year in a row, not to mention the last time the Rockets advanced in the playoffs(1997, holy crap I'm old) we were eliminated by them, as well as the following season(once again in the 1st round).

Hey, maybe uh...maybe the 5th time is a charm?

I'd be happier to see them blow up that franchise so I never have to hear the words "Utah" or "Jazz" uttered again except in old highlights on ESPN Classic about dirty teams that never won a championship.

I don't think you need it against anyone.

We could probably beat all of those teams in a 7 game series, but if I had to pick one I'd go with Utah for the same reasons TMU stated.

Actually, the obvious answer just occurred to me: the Clippers.
