It's literally Rock-Paper-Scissors with those four. Thunder beat the Rockets, Clippers beat the Thunder, Spurs beat the Clippers, Rockets beat the Spurs. It'll come down to who plays who in the semifinals.
Unless a huge upset happens in the 1st round that is. I think the Clippers will eventually take the 3rd spot and Rockets will be 4th.
Who do you got in the WCF?
I got Clippers-Thunder. Chris Paul looks like he's ready to take the next step and finally beat the Spurs while I don't see the Rockets beating the Thunder, that series might be more lopsided than people think.

I got Clippers-Spurs and Rockets-Thunder in the Semi-Finals. I think the Clippers can beat the Spurs in a series this time, I wouldn't consider it an upset if it happened.

if the clippers get gsw
clippers wont get past them
Could happen, but I don't see it. Spurs have the personnel to shut down CP3 and Griffin, and the additions of Davis and Granger don't move the needle enough in a potential matchup. They'd have a better chance than last time tho I guess.
That would be the perfect scenario, golden state is the biggest cupcake team in the playoffs.
They sure know how to beat us, though.... everything Curry chucks up would go in and Mark Jackass would fabricate a few ejections, tbh....
Doubt we get them though, it looks like we'll be locked into the 4th seed and playing the Guests....
Groundbreaking analysis
OKC is going to be there, toss up between Clippers and Houston. I still maintain Houston is the most dangerous team in the West come playoff time. I called that in pre season.
Disagree. Rockets look really good right now the Coward has really stepped up. Rox are a better version of last year's Warriors.
I think too many people are sucked on to the regular season records.
Sure, the Rox beat up on the Spurs so far ... but playoffs are different coaching and half-court execution matter much more.
I agree with Op's top 4 ... but I think Spurs make WCF.
Healthy Clips are the most dangerous team to me outside of SA/OKC.
Outside of Pop/RC they have the best coach in the Western Conference field ... and also have a 1-2 punch which is just as good or better than the Rox.
Easy work, if you can get it.
Warriors were only good for chucking three's. Rockets are like last in made three's. Inside-outside game.
Not saying it from a style perspective, more from everyone is on their nuts and scared of this team perspective. Because you are more inside out is why I say you are better version.
KK, my man. The Rockets are tons better than GSW. They play defense, unlike the Warriors who relied heavily on hot shooting, I also feel Coward has something else to prove. He's been flat out amazing this year, and he's been under the radar to be quite honest with everyone salivating at Durant and Lebron. I don't think they'll beat a healthy OKC though, especially without HCA.
Going into postseason last year, I don't think a lot of people feared GS though. Rockets have a different component. If Dwight stops being an asshat, and Asik/Lin is utilized properly, sky is the limit for them IMO.
ty coach and their defense is good not great. They have 2 really good defenders Howard & Beverly. If beverly is officiated correctly they cannot beat the Clips, much less the Spurs. I think Houston and OKC are tossups because both coaches suck. Only give OKC the edge cuz they have the best player and I think it's a close match-up.
Everyone was on Indy's nuts earlier too ... bottom line Heat will repeat so non of this matters so many people looking for a better matchup for the Heat, there is none. San Antonio was the chosen one to end the Heat reign and they failed where Dallas could. OKC never had a real chance with Harden choking.
CN, get your ass in here. IF clips healthy are yall gona let Dwight take the Most valuable Chimp award from Blake? And Harden the best flopper that doesnt need to award from CP3?
All jokes aside yall not gonna let the Rox beat you come May, right?
Yall got re-inforcements ... JJ Red should be no excuse.
We'd better not lose to the Rockets, that's one of our favorable matchups, tbh....
Rockets are a bad matchup for the Spurs. Harden has decided to play defense as well lately. He is better when he guards PFs.
Clippers are a terrible matchup for us due to coaching and bench play.
No offense but While CP3 is skilled up, he is a little IMO. I hate how he has the refs in his back pocket- directing them. The refs miss calls, cp objects and they tell him "I got you" then it's a late call or bs call on next possession. I hate how he initiates contact and gets free throws. In closing, he needs to put that f'n mouth guard back in that f'n man hole of his.
I do agree that they play us str8 up tough.
CP3 is in his own league, but lets not kid ourselves about James
So you must hate Harden, right?
Still want to see Spurs play you guys at 100% ...
Im not a Spur fan but I think Pop is the edge to have them beat you in 7
I dont like Dwight but have no issues if yall bounce the Spurs ... I just don't see it.
Good to see the Rox out in full force, please dont be like tlong.
Yall have a young promising team rep that squad.
Like Sook said who cares what I think we are all amateur experts.
I think I will be proven right, we shall see.
There's only one West team that can knock a healthy Spurs team out of the playoffs and they don't play in Texas tbh.
