    Phoenix, Golden State, or Portland.


    portland is about to go on an 8 game winning streak, ending when they play us next.

    that will catapult them into the solid 3 seed.

    90% chance to beat Portland?? I would bring that Dallas number down to 60%. They always give us hell.

    The Rockets now have a 9% chance of getting to the #2 seed and 4% chance getting to #3, according to playoffstatus.com. And a 47% chance staying at #5.

    The seeding will likely be:
    OKC
    SAS
    LAC
    POR
    HOU
    GSW
    DAL
    PHX

    Blazers are ok for the first round, but Thunder in the second is not so promising.

    Those are some insanely certain percentages given everyone still has over a quarter of the season left to play.

    Less than five games separate the top five teams. Don't resign yourself to the 4/5 just yet.

    Don't take it seriously, it's just calculation, the variables can change at any give time.

    I know who I don't want.

    Jeremy Lin.

    I am dreading the team relying on his production come playoff time.

    ANYONE, expect for Clippers or Thunder.

    Anyone else, Rockets win in 5-6 game MAX. Maybe even sweep them.

    1) Portland (terrible D, not enough "star power", jump shooting team)
    2) Phoenix (they can get hot with Dragic and Bledsoe, not a good defensive team)
    3) Dallas (great offensive output, a bit dangerous, but our D is much better than theirs)
    4) Golden State (the most overrated team throughout the season; they have some really good players and they boast an impressive Def Rtg, but I think the Rockets are slightly ahead of them)
    5) Spurs (never doubt the Spurs - we may have beaten them 3x so far, but it's different in the playoffs - they have experience and a very deep bench, plus a great coach; that being said, I would still favor the Rockets, due to our dynamic duo)
    6) LA Clippers (praying someone will eliminate them, as I believe we can not beat them in a 7-game series, given our current situation. Take away JJ Redick and Jamal Crawford and I believe we might have a good chance. Anyway, they would be favored)
    7) OKC (my bet for the WCF. I don't think we can win against the Thunder. simple as that, though I am looking forward to the last regular season meeting!)

    Clippers because they will go up on us 2-0 then we would beat them 4 straight games.
