I know that they played some close games, but I don't see all of these games being close. Houston will get at least two games by 20+ IMO.

Whoever Boston plays in the 2nd round - now that will be the best series in the playoffs.

Thunder in 7. I think if the Thunder uses its bigs they can win this series. I am not concerned with a secondary and third scorer or any of that.

Cant wait to see what Westbrook does in the playoffs...and hes probably gonna try on defense now too lol..oh...and hes going up against probably the player he hates the most in the league, Patrick Bev.

The interesting thing about this series is that Beverley is a perfect defensive player to guard Westbrook, and Roberson has given Harden fits as well (although Dre is kind of hobbled right now).

It's possible both Westbrook and Harden have poor series'.

I've got Houston in 6. They are just a more complete team than OKC. Westbrook will need to have a GOAT series to win, he will have several great games where they win, but overall it won't be enough.

Pretty cool that we’ll get to see this matchup in the first round after constant MVP talk. Thunder could certainly make it interesting, but i’m going rockets in 6 here.

I mean, nothing during his suns days really supports that... they easily could've been in the finals in 07 if not for horry's antics

This will be my first time rooting for the notSonics since they moved to OKC. It pains me.

This is going to the best series but i think Rockets have too much offensive firepower for OKC to over come. Rockets in 6 (westbrook wins two games on his own)

Houston in 6, maybe 7

Steven Adams needs to step it up defensively, been slow lately.

what a shame they won't announce MVP until after the Finals

I want to see Harden/WEstbrook play against the other knowing they lost that award

Definitely the best 1st round matchup, Rockets take the series.

Rockets in 5. Teamwork wins.

Well this should be fun. I'm voting for Houston in 6 though. Not much more that Westbrook can do on top of what he's doing right now, and Houston just have the better all-around roster.
