People say this, but who is favored over them? As it stands they will likely play 3 teams - the Warriors, Suns, or Dallas. None of those teams are better than Houston, and even if they were to beat them it would be an upset.

They're really hot right now, but I see the Clippers overtaking them by the end of the season. That would give them a first round matchup with the Blazers. And although Portland hasn't been at their best for a while now, the playoffs are totally different. I would put a Houston-Portland series at 50-50.

The Warriors aren't that good really. Their offense has been plain average this year since they rely on the individual finish too much. Defense keeps them in a lot of games but they're firmly in the Dallas/Memphis/Suns tier.

50-50 based on what? They are 2-1 vs Portland this season, and Houston has improved since then with Asik coming back and the addition of Hamilton.

You can't really use regular season records to predict playoff series.

But I agree with the rest, Portland isn't nearly as complete a team as Houston.

1) I think it's unfair to assume that Houston will stay this hot throughout the playoffs, and assume that Portland will continue to be cold. Houston could be peaking right now, and Portland could turn it up in the last 4 weeks leading up to the playoffs. You never know.

2) Rotations get smaller, defenses tighten, and fouls get called less and less. For a team whose franchise player relies so heavily on FTs, that's not good. People are so quick to forget how Harden basically got exposed in against OKC last year.

Houston has a ton of talent and will be dangerous in a few years if they retain Harden/Parsons/Jones/Dwight and some nice complimentary pieces. But for now they lack elite defense and their offense is too much iso and 3 chucking.

Maybe this offseason they can put something together for a Lowry S/T. Lin and a 1st or 2.

Lowry / Beverly
Harden / Hamilton
Parsons / Granger?
Jones / D-Mo
Dwight / Asik

Houston struggled with injuries and had to develop team chemistry as I said all season


They have 3 new starters, a 2nd year (4th playing year) starter in Harden and a 2nd year (3rd playing year) starter in Parsons. They needed time to gel, time to get healthy (Harden had a bum ankle for most of the season, Parsons had a bum back, Asik was out).

Now that they're all fully healthy, they'll be favored in every series except OKC or LAC. And if those teams play before they meet Houston (as is currently projected now), Houston will at least make the WCF.

Lets hear it haterssss.

3rd in Opp shots within 5ft (35%)

Yeah. Have you watched the Rockets? Their defense is miles better this year than last, and they did all this without Asik. He's back now, and healthy.

Their defense is elite, that's why they are the #3 seed in the West right now. They control the pain, and they defend the 3, and they limit second chances.

The games weren't as close as the scores.

So 3-1 last year, and 2-1 this year against a team who last year was supposed to be better than the Rockets. And this year it continued in the Rockets favor.

Harden having one big game doesn't really matter. Sometimes guys get hot and make a bunch of tough shots, but over the course of a series, I think he'll wear down and start chucking up bricks, just like he did against OKC last year when Thabo guarded him.

:oldlol: @ this. Golden State fans will tell you the last team they want to play if Houston. Playoffs are all about matchups and Houston matches up well with Golden State.

You literally have no argument on why Golden State beats Houston in a playoff series. Houston is like 5-2 the last two years. Not just that, but every time the Warriors play the Rockets they look shook. Stephen Curry is one of them. GS won their last match up but Curry wanted none of Beverley.

In fact, Curry was finally able to score when Iggy started playing point guard. Curry started playing "SG" and getting some off the ball screens, that's the only way he can score on Beverley. Dude looked shook as f*ck. Kept yapping at the referees begging them to call a foul. And in the playoffs when players get to play more physical?

No contest. Houston wins in 5. This isn't even debatable.

While I don't like making excuses for Harden, he wasn't 100% for last years playoffs. His first step was gone so he couldn't get to the basket as easily as he used to, but he's pretty much healthy now, and of course has Dwight Howard to take the pressure off him.

The most important thing now is to keep Chandler Parsons healthy. Honestly, without him, the Rockets offense tends to fall apart in the half court.

People say this, but who is favored over them? As it stands they will likely play 3 teams - the Warriors, Suns, or Dallas.

"Likely" is a way the hell off. They are in a dead heat with the Blazers and Clips with the Clips looking especially strong lately. They could wind up playing any of the other teams currently in the 3-8th positions in the first round. If they're 4th or 5th, it's most likely to be Portland. I like Houston's chances against Portland a lot more than LA.

I see Houston's offense getting stagnant in half court sets with them freezing out Howard just to watch Harden go iso all the time in the playoffs. They play the 6th fastest pace in the league while being tied for 23rd in assist ratio.

They might be able to squeeze by the first round, but will be absolutely crushed by SA, OKC, LA in the 2nd round.

2nd round exit. Nobody is better than the Spurs or Thunder imo.


Comments like this are frustrating. It's like you're making an opinion off of last year. The clippers are real. They are healthy, they have a great coach now, they're going to do work in teh playoffs. they are much deeper than the Thunder, Spurs have a better coach and similarly leveled talent, but older.

1Spurs/Clippers
3Thunder
4Houston
Everyone else

This is the west, realistically.

all those teams are capable of beating them. especially dallas.

wait, has there ever been a time that all texan teams were playoff contenders?

dallas, houston, and san antonio at the same time?

In 07' the average number of RS wins for theses 3 teams was 59.

This. I feel like they would have a tough time scoring on the Warriors in the playoffs, especially Harden since he would be guarded by Iguodala (best perimeter defender in the league).

You must not watch this two team play each other that much.

Since Harden been in Houston, he has been eating GS alive.

From all the playoff team Warriors are the easiest for Houston to beat, while OKC and Clippers got Houston number.

Expressing my point. My point is that people are saying Houston is a 1st round team, but in reality they are favored against every team they would play in the 1st round.

Nobody really believes Houston will get eliminated in the 1st round. They know Houston is elite and that's where the hate comes from. I just sit back, relax and laugh.

The better you are the more hate you get. That's why you see many people overrating the Warriors and saying they're a a playoff threat, because they really aren't that good.

Houston is a title contender, they're relevant, they're good. That's the main reason for all the hate.

In short: Haters gonna hate :confusedshrug:

Depends on how the refs approach Harden, if they D-whistle his play, they can advance, if they stone-wall his flop/body flinging fest, they will be done in the 1st round, see no defense, chemistry/compatibility issues
