    Honestly, if it stays like this, I actually prefer the matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers.

    you say it as if the 6th seed is a lock and guaranteed position for the rockets

    I'm not sure I like the Lakers matchup. We've only got 1 Amen to split between Luka, AR and you know Bron's gonna do some ridiculous superhuman **** and de-age 10 years just because we're the ****ing Rockets, and of course that'll happen to us in the playoffs.

    Doubt it, the Lakers are not much better than last yr n they've sucked in the playoffs. LeBron's age really showed.

    I mean do you rather play a really experience Denver team? I wouldn't mind the wolves but the Lakers defense is so bad.

    I'd normally agree, but it'd be us in the playoffs, I can see it happening already.
    I'd rather play Minny if I had a choice tbh, Amen on Ant then it's on them to stop both Durant and Alpi and hope one of our other guys goes off.

    Wolves would be my second choice, we lost to them last night missing 2 players.

    Those lakers game we played were pretty much us beating ourselves beside the Christmas game when we whooped them.

    I dunno, I just don't believe we're coming out on top in a game against league-darling LeBron with Luka as well and a coach who can outcoach ours with relative ease. We're more commonly in the position of being the team the league shafts to prop up their favourites. I really don't want the Lakers.

    I'd be cool with either. My preference would absolutely be to avoid Denver in the 1st.

    While I appreciate the optimism, we are broken right now and our coach has no idea how to fix it.

    This is a wasted year as a Rox fan.

    I think the lakers are the biggest pretenders but I do admit in the clutch they are scary.

    Agreed, this is by far the best match up for the Rockets. I want no part of Denver and Ant is too dangerous with a good D behind him. OKC and SA would probably sweep…
