#3 Round 1 – (8)
Houston Rockets vs. (1) Oklahoma City Thunder…
(2)(8) Houston
Rockets (2013 Reg. Season: 106ppg, 43rpg, 23apg, 46% FG, 37% 3PT): The
Rockets are a franchise that hasn’t been to the promise land in awhile. I
believe their only 2 came during the Olajuwon era. And they have been pretty
much irrelevant since then, They have managed to jump back into the playoff
hunt by signing G Rich Harden away from the Thunder. And PG Jeremy Lin away
from the Knicks, but unfortunately this lead to only a 8 seed and them having
to face off against the Thunder in a No Win series…
(1)(1) Oklahoma City
Thunder (2013 Reg. Season: 106ppg, 44rpg, 21apg, 48% FG, 38% 3PT): The
Thunder on the other hand haven’t won a title since the 60’s or 70’s but they have
been relevant in the NBA title picture for the past couple of seasons. Kevin
Durant and Russell Westbrook are just too much for most teams to handle which
is why they will most likely be returning to the NBA Finals again this year.
Being one of the top scoring teams in the NBA this season this should be a very
exciting series to watch…
Synopsis: (Thunder
took season series 2-1) Thunder 4, Rockets 2: The Thunder took the season
series with the Rockets 2-1 and even in the loss they looked like the more dominant
team. The Thunder are the better team I have said this many times and the only
reason I gave them 2 games is because the Rockets will play harder at home than
in OKC. But at the end of the day the Thunder will be too much with Ibaka and Westbrook and Durant. As the
Thunder move on in 6 games and advance to the 2nd round…
First Game: 4/21/13
at Thunder…
