Don't see how the Thunder get swept, Westbrook will have at least one insane game.

I think Westbrook could have four insane games and the Thunder could lose all four.

Rockets in 5. I just don't think Okc has enough outside of Westbrook.

Over/under of 1.5


Still better than watching any EC play-off games. Garbage conference.

Pressure is all on Houston and Harden. And it's a no-win situation really.

"Harden had a way better supporting cast all along anyway"

The key matchup for me to watch will be Beverley vs. Westbrook, so I researched their career Regular Season H2H stats to get a good feeling on what I'm prepared to watch:

-Beverley is 7-3 vs. Westbrook
-Westbrook averages 28 points, 9 rebounds, 10 assists, and 6 turnovers per game on 45/34/80 shooting splits

Yeah, people been saying that for 5 years now and they are still watching it.

Especially this season, rocking a 2nd ranked PSPA per game in nba history with 115.2 ORtg is something most of the fans want to watch.

OKC has been prone to giving up large leads and Westbrook has had to make several 4th period come from behind wins. I know this since I was betting his side and won due to him leading his team to victory. The most recent I was on was against Orlando. Houston should win every game by 6+.

I'm not. I can't watch a single game of Harden play basketball unless it's against the Warriors, where I am just forced to. Hurts my eyes.

I hate boths guys, they are destruction of team basketball. As I give MVP to Harden (1.5 REB couldnt dicide MVP winner) but OKC should win series. Only who could stop it, its Westbrook with low IQ plays , selfishness and chasing TD.

The rockets haven't been great since their 31-9 start .. I'm surprised people expect a quick series

This will be a very entertaining series because I feel both teams have a one man show, it just depends on who has the better supporting cast, and that goes to... the Rockets. Rockets in 7.

That is still 24-18 since that start. Not amazing, but still not bad. That is on pace for 47 wins. But still, gonna be a great series. Hope it goes at least 6, either way. Dont want a quick 4-5 game series here

The playoffs in the East will be A LOT more competitive. Celtics/Wizards in the 2nd round will probably be the playoff series period.

Top 4 teams in the East are all about on par with the Rockets. We just don't have a Warriors/Spurs team unless the Cavs turn it on.
