The official Jazz vs Rockets prediction thread.

[Stoked]

This is a perfect opportunity to repair the fractured relationship we have with clutchfans.

But eff them.

We don’t want any relations with those assholes. I’m STD free, thank you much.

My prediction is my health will deteriorate and lead to a potential mental breakdown followed by the loss of my job. All of this because of harden and cp.

I say the Rockets can be had! Pound the ball inside, Slow the Pace down, use your head because your brains is in it!

Yep.
Those who think the rockets have gotten worse aren't paying attention. They just took a while to get healthy (cp3 and capela both missed chunks) and get the new guys Incorporated.
The starting lineup has no weaknesses and the bench is deep. And they have possibly the best player in the NBA.

I see this as a no lose scenario... I'm down on our FA hopes... I don't think anyone beats GS... Houston is the favorite... so if we win we are the heros of the NBA and its the biggest story of the first round.

Aesthetically it is no fun, but beating the Blazers doesn't get us much cred... and losing would destroy our cred. Bring on the contenders and titans... let's test ourselves.

It makes me sad to agree with the OP, but yeah, that sounds about right.

They are absolutely worse than last year... that team was historically good. Ariza and Mbah a Moute really helped them. CP was healthier... they are better than their record suggests, but we were limping coming into that series... DM had hurt his foot and then aggravated it... Ricky was out the whole time. Dante played until he died and Rudy wasn't at full strength (and it showed at times).

I don't think they are that deep either.

I like this thinking. Winning against POR probably doesn't mean much. Might as well go at Houston fully healed and not already dragged through a first round series.

I predict Rockets in 6. But I think the Jazz have a fair shot at advancing.

I wouldn't be surprised by Jazz in 5.

If our guys are healthy I predict Jazz in 5. I think we've got the talent edge. And Hardin can only do so much.

I predict Hardin doesn't even play.
