These teams played some really close games excluding the final game when Houston hit 20 3's.

The first 3 games were decided by a total of 7 points

Same here. Especially considering this was D'Antoni we were talking about.

It's a shame that both of these teams can't advance but it should be a good series. Houston in 6 sounds about right, although I wouldn't be surprised to see either team pull it out.

Thing about D'Antoni is he's great in certain styles with certain players. This roster is so perfect for his style

Shit. I still can't believe that OKC had Durant, Westbrook, and Harden and didn't win anything.

Tbf, Harden did choke pretty hard. They could've easily though.

A roster full of players, besides Ariza, that can't play defense lol. But yeah, it is perfect. They might surpass 120+ points a few times during this series.

ROCKETS in 6

Homecourts holds up through 5, then OKC loses a close heartbreaker at home in game 6

 

[ChrisWebber]

Rockets sweep

 

[Demonjoe93]

Rockets in seven. This will be the best series.

 

[CitySushi]

Rockets in 5.

 

[Mecca]

Every game will be a blessing.

 

[thunderc]

Thunder in 6, Westbrook goes apeshit.

 

[Heatles84]

Rockets in 5.

This is easily the most entertaining matchup of the first round

I'll say Rockets in 6. It's cool that Russ and Harden are such good friends. Patrick Beverly can screw himself though.
