Re: Phoenix Suns (23-54) @ Houston Rockets (43-34), 8:00 PM EST on NBA TV
[QUOTE=bmd]I'm kind of hoping not... I'd rather the Rockets face the Thunder or Spurs as the 7th seed than the Nuggets as the 6th seed.
The Nuggets are just the worst match-up possible for the Rockets.[/QUOTE]
Lawson and Gallo are dealing with injuries.

I'll still take Denver over OKC or SA.

On a side note: Houston owns tie-breaker over Golden State.

[QUOTE=DMV2]Lawson and Gallo are dealing with injuries.[/QUOTE]Even still. The Nuggets are the Rockets' kryptonite.
They are just like the Rockets.. they play the same style and have young, athletic talent who can run the floor. So they can do everything the Rockets do, but better.
The Rockets haven't beaten them this season.

Pretty much this.
And even with Lawson and Danilo out, Rockets still couldn't put them away. Granted it was the second of back to back in 1 mile high Denver but still...
Re: Phoenix Suns (23-54) @ Houston Rockets (43-34), 8:00 PM EST on NBA TV
Chandler Parsons and Carlos Delfino were out for this game.
I wish they'd return dang it!

No video yet? I have to see this video before I can get back to studying.

I rather Houston face Denver instead of OKC/San Antonio. I know Denver won the season series 4-0 but still.
OKC has too much fire power in Durant, Westbrook, and Ibaka. They're too talented. San Antonio is too smart and disciplined. Popovich will find a way to slow down Harden without fouling him. Houston will probably lose either way, but Denver is their safest bet.
Re: Phoenix Suns (23-54) @ Houston Rockets (43-34), 8:00 PM EST on NBA TV
Houston's best shot at upsetting anyone in the 1st round is SA.
spurs are overrated every season because of their regular season play but they always fall apart in the postseason.
spurs are the patriots of the nba.
Re: Phoenix Suns (23-54) @ Houston Rockets (43-34), 8:00 PM EST on NBA TV
Nuggers 4-0 Rockets is a fluke.
0 chance we beats OKC. Spurs will be difficult. We can beat the Nuggets.

When was the last time a team not in the top 4 in each conference won a championship?

1995 Rockets as #6 if I'm correct. Has a #5 or lower ever won a title after that?

I have no idea. I don't even know why the Rockets were 6th in 1995.
