Although I don't see the Rockets falling to 6th and staying there, I could live with this scenario.

Yeah, I was disappointed at my own prediction when it came to the Rockets. Their schedule is tougher than I anticipated with some tough road games. If they can improve on the road then they could easily make the jump to number 3.

Or the Rockets for that matter.

Both the Jazz and Rockets would be tough matchups. We haven't matched up well in the past with physical teams.

Fortunately, without a healthy T-Mac, we can defend their wing players better. We would leave Chandler on Yao one-on-one which will be tough, but if we can get Chandler to run the floor, it could wear down Yao. The key will be West against Scola and the benches which Houston has an advantage at this point. We need CP3 to dominate, Chandler slowing down Yao, and West playing really well.

Utah is always tough for us. They have more depth, more athletes. We need to win every home game. We also need to outrebound them, force them to shoot jumpers, and execute on offense.
