@ringer 3-1 to beat the 2nd seed Suns (59-23), with a game 7 on the road. Then beat the 1 seed Spurs (62-20) and the MVP David Robinson going away. And finally sweeping the East's best team, the Orlando Magic (57-25). This run will never be topped, unless an 8th seed ends up winning.

@RedNinetyFour We caught a break in 2015 when the Spurs lost the last game of the regular season to the Pelicans, moving the Rockets to the 2nd seed, & forcing the Spurs to play the Clippers in a 7-game 1st Rd series where Chris Paul injured his hammy, and the Rockets got to play the Mavs.
