Re: Houston Rockets are going to the finals, you can put money on it.

Best starting 5 in the NBA, and Swift, Sura and Mutombo are coming on the bench. Tell me I'm wrong.

I'd put them at 60% to make the playoffs. Maybe 15% to get out of the first round, 3% to make the conference finals. Less than 1% to win it all.

Past disagreements aside, I usually have similar thoughts to you Clark. But 15% to make it out of the first round of the playoffs? That seems steep to me.
Obviously the #1 seed is set. But outside of that, there's enough parity that I don't think any of the 2-7, 3-6, or 4-5 matchups will haev a 3:1 favorite, which they'd need to be if Houston is 60% to make the playoffs.
Don't know if this rambling makes sense....but even with TMac's well publicized struggles to get out of the first round, I still think they have a 30% chance to get to the 2nd round, especially considering the way TMac played vs. Dallas in the playoffs last year.
My two cents....
