video link This is an NBA broadband video on who the people of TNT overtime think are sleepers and will surprise the league. Listen to Barkley's response for sleeper on the west. LOL.
Means nothing. Houston is the "sleeper" by default, because he's lost faith in Utah and he doesn't think Denver, Lakers, or GS have a chance in hell at getting past the first round. If we do advance to 2nd round, I'm sure he'll pick Dallas to win in 4 or 5 games.
He just said he thinks who ever wins the Hou-Utah series will make it to the conference finals... Means nothing of course, but says a lot about how we are turning heads. A week ago he thought Utah would win.. now listen to him.

He'll favor Dallas if we get to the second round. All he's saying is we're "dangerous". It just seems to me like he was told to pick a sleeper, and he decided to say Houston by default. Notice that he didn't actually say anything positive about the Rockets -- he only talked about how Utah has dissappointed him.
so much for round 2. Barkley is a witch. pffffft, the Lakers will not go past 5 games against the Suns. The Warriors have a better chance to go 6 games with the Mavs, same with the Nuggets/Spurs.
