Lol, that's fair enough. I don't think they are true contenders this year myself. I would limit that to the Spurs, Thunder, Heat and Pacers. But there are several other teams that have a shot, and the Rockets and Clippers are definitely among them as I stated in a previous post. I don't see how the Clippers have a better chance than the Rockets but I guess we just differ on that one. Houston has been ballin' as of late. Really starting to gel. So I look forward to the playoffs. From having Scola, Chase Budinger and Aaron Brooks and being the perennial 9th seed. To Howard, Harden and Parsons and having a shot is exciting.
