Rockets secure #2 seed in West with win

[apc10]

I think the Rockets match up pretty well against the Mavs. But Harden did live off the free throw line this year and they tend to not call the fouls in the playoffs. It is definately an entertaining matchup, but I think the Rockets pull it out in 6.

Rockets in six. Hopefully 5. And, Dwight is a much bigger whiner than Hardin. Always has been.

Geaux Rockets!!
How is that Parsons and Rondo duo working out for ya?

+1 on all this

Isn't that the truth! I can't stand the guy, and I admit it. But the calls he gets are ridiculous. I think the Mavs would have a hard time with anyone this year, especially without Parsons.

We are in trouble if Parsons isn't healthy this series.

Parsons and Rondo are not the problem. The problem is Ellis and Rondo. Either way, it IS a problem.

I'll simplify things further, Rondo is the Mavs Achilles heel

since the trade, team offensive production numbers have declined significantly

square peg in round hole

Rockets in 5. I dont mind a little Harden whining. And Im sure the Mav fans wouldnt mind either if he was on their team. Let the games begin. Whoever comes out of the West will win it this year is my bet.

Mavs in game 7. Mavs go to work.

Should be an entertaining series. I got Rockets in 6 only because the Mavs have not been consistent as a team this season. The Rockets are very beatable though. Cut off the head (Harden) and they don't know what to do as a team.

X2. Rather see Ellis out there all day long. Hoping the Mavs can pull it off but think the Rockets take it.

I notice you didnt mention the defensive number ?

Rather play a banged up Portland! Dallas causes us trouble

It's not that simple. The Mavs are terrible defensively....and even worse without Rondo.


I don't mind the Harden whining so much, it's the ridiculous calls they give him that drive me nuts. Such is basketball though. I will keep up but I don't watch that much.

Houston in 5.

FWIW - Southwest division gets all 5 teams in playoffs (Rockets, Spurs, Grizzlies, Mavs, Pelicans) for first time under current NBA format

The SEC of basketball?
