OKOKOK - I know it's early... But assuming the Rockets can keep up this level of play, it's not unrealistic for them to finish in the playoffs this season... That being said, who would be their best matchup to manage a first round upset?

OKC - I don't think this is a good matchup for them, since they can play a similar fast pace, but have superior scorers... as well as being quick enough to defend in transition.

Clippers - Too deep and can also play a fast pace with better finishers. CP3 would hound Lin all game.

Memphis - Big up front, and Rockets have already beaten them. I think they would have a chance in a 7 game series.

Spurs - Too experienced, too deep. Unless the Rockets vastly improve defensively I think the Spurs would just execute them to death.

My preference:

Memphis, Sputs, Clippers, OKC in that order.
