Really the only first round match-up I'm looking forward to unless the Blazers or Grizzlies get the 8 seed. This one ought to be good. Westbrook and Harden taking on OKC! This is one where the fans will be missed.
The Thunder have overachieved this season - we all know Chris Paul is a great point guard, but to have this kind of success relying on 3 PG lineups, a second year guy in SGA and players previously thought washed up like Gallo is remarkable. Houston's looked great though. I don't think their style of play will hold up against a top-tier team like the Lakers or Clippers but I do think they can beat the Thunder. I bet it takes 7 games though.
