I think that Houston can and will make it to the second round, especially because they might get the number 4 spot, theyare only a game and a half back from Utah, thats about it though
I'm sorry, I still don't buy into them....or into hearing predictions about Houston and the Lakers being in the 2nd round. Houston and LA win a couple of games again, and suddenly we're hearing talk about them again....
Houston and the Lakers will not be in the 2nd round. Dallas, SA, Utah, and Phoenix are the second round teams.
If anyone disagrees with me, which I'm pretty much used to, let us all know. Who will be the 4 second-round teams?

Mavs, Suns, Spurs, Rockets
Houston is for real. The Lakers aren't.
As much as I wish the best for Utah, I don't think they'll be able to counter the Rockets defense and Yao and McGrady (if both are healthy). Add to the fact that the Jazz haven't been playing that well for a month now, I think the Rockets have the best chance of "an upset."
whs^
I've got the Rockets over Utah, as well.
Utah vs Houston should be one of a series.
while houston can't get the fourth seed (short of the spurs losing about 10 more games), i think houston could have hca against utah as the five seed. utah isn't really a running team, which is what's needed to take yao out of the game. van gundy will put yao on boozer and hayes/howard on okur. i give houston the edge, even if they don't get hca.
no way the lakers can beat the spurs. phil jackson is an awesome coach, but not that awesome.
Mavs, Spurs, Suns, Rockets
Jazz is not playing that great lately and Yao & Tmac are back!
Rockets/Jazz series should be great.
Mavs, Spurs, Suns, Rockets
My heart wants to agree with that....
My gut says Recent history of Rockets injuries and choke jobs (past several years) = first round disappointing exit, its like they are jinxed or some and its really sad.
We will all be in a better position after a few more days to determine if Utah is for real and the Spurs dont choke in cruise control mode.
Is that want you want?
Afraid they may give your spurs a run for their
Past perf. does not dictate future perf.
If Yao ever gets the calls, that he is not getting now, then Houston can beat Dallas in 2nd round as well.
8th seed comes close to shocking Mavs = I am calling it now!!!! (Then if it gets close, Dirk's certain part of anatomy may shrink again??)
(Would not gamble on this, but would love to see it and if GS plays them it could well happen that they get a real scare put into them!)
Houston is being heavily overvalued in this thread and Utah is being heavily undervalued.
He may be 8 inches shorter than Yao, but Carlos Boozer is the best post player on either team. Add the late-game play of Okur and Fisher and you've got one of a playoff team.
Most compe ive series in the whole WC, I say. Biggest possibility of an upset.
boozer isn't going to be able to post up yao.
Utah is in the 4th seed and Houston can take that. They can't get the 3rd seed from the Spurs.
He's quicker than Yao and he's a crafty post player. Again....being undervalued.
Ill take T-Mac over anyone the Jazz got
It does pertaining to injury prone players that are still on the team.... you look at these guys the wrong way and something breaks/sprains.Is that want you want?
Afraid they may give your spurs a run for their
Past perf. does not dictate future perf.
I may take T-Mac over any player the Jazz have and I may take T-Mac + Yao over any two players the Jazz have, BUT I'd take the Jazz Starting 5 over the Rockets Starting 5 ANY DAY.
