According to Yahoo Houston get the 4 home games.

1. at Houston
2. at Houston
3. at Utah
4. at Utah
*5. at Houston
*6. at Utah
*7. at Houston

Why?

 

[TheNextBigThing]

Because Houston has a better record 55-27 compared to Utah 54-28, the only reason Utah finished above them is because the Division winners must finish in the Top 4 of the Conference.

I think thats how it works anyway.

Suns lead the season series 3-1. I seriously think the Suns can take it in 6. This would surely be the pick of the first round matchups?

 

[super_phaser]

Utah (4) v Houston (5) - Rockets 4-3

Wont happen

Jazz in 5, although a sweep is possible. Rockets might steal a game at their home.

Has another team ever carried as big a losing streak as NOH @ Dallas into a 7 game playoff series? I saw it was listed at 10. Could be a big worry if the Mavs can break even over the first two games.

 

[super_phaser]

I have said all season that the Hornets wont get out of the first round

Questions will be asked of Chris Paul if his team crumbles. Deron Williams took the Jazz to the Conference Finals in his 2nd year.

We will see if Paul is a champ, or a chump cos hes already badly lagging behind Deron.

How many Playoff games has Chris Paul played in?

 

[peternorth]

kobe won a championship in his 3rd season. not relevant here but u know

 

[TheNextBigThing]

How many Playoff games has Chris Paul played in?

Hasn't played in any yet, but halfway through last year the Hornets were all but going to make the playoffs but he got injured and then you saw how the Hornets dropped away without him. Then this year he has led them to second place in the Western Conference, sure he hasn't done anything in the playoffs yet, but to say he is badly lagging behind Deron is just crap.

 

[super_phaser]

Fair enough

Lets see what happens where it mattters

Playoffs are a whole new ball game

Yes but lets be honest, it wouldn't be that big of a shock if Dallas win the series, one way or another if the Hornets do get knocked out you can't blame it all on CP3
