Well the forum has been a little slow lately, so I thought this would be fun. Hopefully we make the playoffs in the 2007 season. And if we do, which would you rather see in the first round? *(5)Houston vs (4)San Antonio It would be a nice Texas Rival. I think I may be pushing it for SA by placing them at 4th seed. *(7)Houston vs (2)Dallas I don't think Dallas will be less than 2nd seed so this is the only way we can meet them in 1st round (unless we are #8). Finallly get our sweet revenge *(4)Houston vs (5)Memphis There is a chance we might be 2nd seed and Memphis at 7th. Well Rudy Gay vs Shane Battier would be very interesting imo. *(2)Houston vs (7)LA Lakers T-Mac vs Kobe. You know we'd win this one by game 5 or 6 I guess we are getting our revenge from that 03-04 season when we had Francis and Yao and we lost in 5 to LAL Damn I'm already talking about playoffs...Well the offseason has been dreadfully long. Live 07 comes out in like 2 weeks. That should hold me off.
Even though i don't want the 7th seed i'll love to see us play the mavericks again in the playoffs. payback's a b****
Houston vs. Lakers. Kobe vs. Tmac.. I'd like to see that! But I dont think we'll get 2nd seed. Maybe 3rd or 4th. So you should put Lakers like 65th or 5th.
65th is a good seed in the playoffs. its unprecedented so i think the rockets are at a disadvantage on that one

I dont think its possible for us to get 3rd or 4th seed. Seed 1/2 will go to the highest 2 teams (DAL/SAS/PHO) Then 3 and 4 will go to someone to Denver/Sacramento/Phoenix Well let me try that again. We have a shot @ 1st/2nd. If not then we are stuck at #5. 1. Pho 2. Dal 3. Sac/Den (because of division) 4. Sas/Hou 5. Hou Unless Pho is 1st. ERRR I hate these stupid divisions. Some1 feel free to correct me.
I would like to see Kobe/T-Mac. Although no one can stop Yao. I like the Shane Battier/Rudy Gay matchup also.
I am glad to see everyone has a different opinion. I thought everyone would just pick the Dallas-Houston matchup. I do want revenge, and it would be nice if we got it possibly in the 2nd round. 1st round either vs MEM or LAL would be nice, then DAL in the 2nd round.
CLos, just so you know, we only allow one signature per user on JBB. Please remove one of yours as soon as possible. Thanks. As for the original question, the best opponent would be the one that the Rockets have the best chances of beating. Dallas would also be sweet. Even if we do lose, the series will probably be another classic.
I'm going with Dallas. Obviously it would be one of the more challenging matchups, but I'll never feel quite right unless we knock them out.

Like many of you, I'd like to see us playing and hopefully defeating Dallas in the first round. That would definitely be one hell of a series. I don't really think the Memphis one is all that big though, since I have a feeling Gay won't be seeing that many minutes or put up that big of numbers to actually be a noteworthy matchup. I could be wrong though and I'll probably be eating my words later, but oh well. As for the Lakers, personally I'd like them not even to make the playoffs so thats why I'd prefer the Dallas one. By the way Igotask8board, I don't think that quote was from me, it sounds like it was from Locke.

I think the Memphis match up would be good because it gives Battier a chance to stick it to his old team, along w/ Gay. They're both players that are known for disappearing when there team really needs them. This gives them both a chance to prove everyone wrong. Good matchup imo. And HOW could you not want to see Kobe in the playoffs? It's Kobe Bryant mannn. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting AznxBaller:</div><div class="quote_post"> By the way Igotask8board, I don't think that quote was from me, it sounds like it was from Locke.</div>

It's a little early to be predicting seeding and matchups.. I don't think Memphis is going to make the playoffs with Gasol out for the next 4 months. Golden State and New Orleans have a good chance to make the playoffs and there's always the Clippers. In fact the most favorable matchup would be Houston vs the Clippers or Lakers. Both don't have as much speed in the backcourt which has always been a problem for the Rockets.
