If LA faces Portland in the playoffs, it’s gonna be a fun series. I think LA lost their last 8 out of 9 games in Portland during the past couple of yrs.
Sleeper teams: Portland in the west, Atlanta in the east
But who knows…maybe the Spurs will win it. Even though Ginobili is out for the rest of the season, 2009 is an odd numbered year
Are you serious??????? Portland is going to get knocked out early.
First of all. Did you not see Houston DESTROY the Hornets yesterday? Secondly, Hornets are on the same level as Dallas, who sucks this year btw, which means Houston can secure the number 3 playoff spot (as long as we beat Dallas in the last game of the season *fingers crossed* and then we play either Hornets or Dallas in the first round. The rockets can and will beat either of those teams, very easily.
And portland???? LOL never…
If the Rockets ever get a chance to play them in the playoffs, they will own them so hard it isn’t even funny. Tell me how Portland is going to stop Yao Ming??? The man is a beast!!!
Rockets won 102-88 in their most recent victory against portland. The last time portland beat the rockets was in a fluke, way back in early November. There is no way Ron Artest and Yao will let those nubs win ever. The rockets definitely handled those chumps.
The only team that stands in the way of the rockets, is San Antonio, Jazz, and the Lakers. Luckily the Jazz will get knocked out by the lakers, and I am fairly confident that we can beat San Antonio (seeing how we will have home court advantage over them AND we have beaten them in the past). LA is the only team that I just can’t see us beating. Kobe is too good.
