Prediction - Lou Williams elevates the Rockets to the Western Conference Finals against the Warriors

It's certainly possible. Especially if they stay the 2 or 3 seed. Houston took a step forward IMO.

Jazz need to finish strong get to the 2nd round and then take 2 steps forward this off season. Time to shuck players we like who wont cut it next season and commit to those that produce.

For example: If this is who Favors is now he has to go. Re-sign Hill and Hayward. Look at trading Burks. Clean up the PGs.

I agree. Coming into the season, I think DL expected to have a great starting lineup and a solid bench (10 deep).

Starters: While Hayward, Hill and Gobert haven't disappointed (except for Hill's injuries), Favs isn't the 16/8 two-way force that we thought he was going to be due to injuries. Hood has been wildly inconsistent - and hurt.

Bench: could DL have been any more wrong about Lyles and Exum? These two were supposed to be major rotation players. Instead, Lyles has been horrible and Exum is just starting to show he can be the #2 PG. Jingles has overachieved, JJ has been solid. Diaw mostly sucks and Burks is still MIA.

Jazz were never going to win the championship this year. So why give up valuable assets to bring in a couple of rentals to help win perhaps 2-3 more regular season games and maybe 1 more in the playoffs? Save the assets to go after a SG and PF/C. Or use all of them in the draft. Throw enough darts and Lindsey could find a rotational player or two, especially in this deep draft.
 
Lol in the last 20 years everytime we meet up with Houston we send them home crying.

McLady couldn't stop us, and neither is James Soften.
 
Williams provides shooting and scoring to a team that could already shoot and score. I don't see how he elevates them.
 
IAWTOP.

If Durant is still out, I think the Rockets could actually push the Dubs to 7 games too.
